A Message from the President

- posted January 18, 2025

I hope this message finds you all well rested from a busy holiday season. This is the time of year when I take a look at what tours are being offered and put together a touring season game plan. I know I am not the only member of VMCCA who does this. I want to pass along the fact that the sooner our Regions and Chapters get their tour information out to the membership, the better the chance of getting your tour filled, and the lesser the chance your tour dates will conflict with another planned event.

Thanks to all who voted for me as your VMCCA President. It was a tough and very tiring campaign, but well worth the effort. I ask that you please dispose of your campaign placards in an environmentally safe manner. Those campaign buttons with my likeness will be a valuable collector item in about 200 years.

Please remember and be prepared for Valentine's Day on February 14. Failure to remember this important date could easily ruin the rest of your month or perhaps even the whole year. While a heart-shaped box filled with an assortment of chocolates might seem a wise choice, perhaps a full set of wide white tires, a new car cover, or even a nice pair of trumpet horns for his or her favorite ride might be more rewarding. "They" say it’s the thought that counts, but sometimes “they” lie!

The next important date on your calendar should be the 2025 VMCCA Annual Membership Meeting, which will be held February 18-21 in Newport News, Virginia. I hope to see many of you at this meeting, which really is for the membership.

I am looking forward to another fun year of great tours in great places with friends both old and new. Join me. You won’t be disappointed.

... Duane
