However, I have heard previously that it was going to be in the Michigan area. _________________________ The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

Seems like I heard as far back as 2000 that the VCCA was planning on having the meet in Flint, Michigan in 2011 for the 50th anniversary. $\:D$ $\:D$ $\:D$ _________________________ The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

I did win the bottle of Two Rivers wine at the banquet, do you think that`s what did it? _________________________ Four doors are great Hoppy

I think St. Joe would be a good place myself. closer to home and we could subsitute some corn squeezings for the vino, OK? _________________________ Lone Star Region Chat Group Region member http://www.lsrclub.org Life's a long winding trail, ride a good horse!

cordman cordman Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 02/09/02 Posts: 123 Loc: Broken Arrow, Oklahoma	2011 is VCCA's 50th More importantly Chevrolet's 100th It only makes sense to celebrate Chevrolet's 100th and VCCA's 50th where it all began. Flint, Michigan. _________________________ cordman

MrMack MrMack Registered: 12/14/01 Posts: 9135 Loc: Central Texas	Well maybe we will have to celebrate by ourselves. Aren't we locked in for 2011 for the 50th Anniversary meet? I hope there is still a GM & a Chevrolet Division by 2011, keep your fingers crossed, and keep on buying those Chevrolet Trucks! After all we are the ones (VCCA) with the REAL CHEVROLET CARS! He!

ChevyBill ChevyBill Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 11/22/01 Posts: 118 Loc: Katy, TEXAS	GM (Chevrolet) has not decided when, where or if they're going to celebrate their 100th. The VCCA decided to go ahead with its own plans to celebrate our 50th in Flint in 2011. Maybe Chevrolet will join us! If we wait until Chevrolet makes a decision it might be too late to get the venue we need. As an example, take a look at how long it took Chevrolet to decide to donate money to our 45th Anniversary meet. We found out a few weeks before the meet that they would give us a donation - too late to plan for it. The wheels of Big Business sure do grind slow!!!

Bill Barker Bill Barker Chatmaster Registered: 11/20/01 Posts: 1867 Loc: Issaquah, WA	My understanding is that we (VCCA) haven't completed our negotiations with the appropriate entities yet, so as of now we haven't officially selected Flint as the final location for 2011. In case any spies are reading this, there is a second location that is still in the running. I assume that when we get the contracts all locked-in, that the Board will officially announce the site selection. In the meantime, let's keep our fingers crossed that Chevrolet (and GM) are still around in five years to offer some support. --Bill _________________________ Bill Barker VCCA CHAT Administrator

Back Roads Back Roads Registered: 04/03/02 Posts: 1124 Loc: Beavercreek, Ohio	If Chevrolet made a donation to late to plan for it I suggest that money be placed in an account for the 2011 meet. We shouldn't have to scramble every five years to get the money to cover expenses. As the person who purchased the awards for the 2001 Anniversary Meet when it came time to make a deposite I was told that VCCA did not have the money until registrations started to come in. This is operating to close to the belt. We know there is going to be a meet in five years. Plan for it. _________________________ See you Touring on the Back Roads.

MrMack MrMack Registered: 12/14/01 Posts: 9135 Loc: Central Texas	Back Roads, That sounds good to me, I think it had been suggested that the BOD set aside an amount of "Seed Money" to the Anniversary Meet Committee, in the past, but it didn't pass. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.... _________________________ Lone Star Region Chat Group Region member http://www.lsrclub.org Life's a long winding trail, ride a good horse!

MrMack MrMack Registered: 12/14/01 Posts: 9135 Loc: Central Texas	I have come to realize that we VCCA members are having some good dialog about VCCA operations and policy affairs here. I like the idea of open discussions between the VCCA general membership in a location such as we have here, I think it will be better when we have a portion of the site open only to current members, we may tend to be more open and frank and not take up the time of our visitors to the site. We do need to continue to allow non-members to benefit from the information here about our members and the club in general, that is one good recruiting tool.

Chipper Chipper Registered: 11/22/01 Posts: 4870 Loc: The Great State of TEXAS	Seed money has always been available to the Chairs of an Anniversary Meet. It is the option of the Meet Chair(s) to use those funds. Actually in order to run the meets, contracts are signed that obligate the assets of the entire VCCA. So despite what some are told, the fact is that VCCA funds are always available until the accounts are depleted. It is a sobering responsibility of the Chair(s) to be financially prudent knowing that a major financial mistake could result in the demise of the VCCA as we know it. In the two meets where I was most directly involved both received seed money. One time we returned the seed before the meet. The other will be after the meet was over. _________________________ How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
