Volvo GATHERINGS Forum

Hi Everyone,

The newly reformed Sacramento Chapter of the VCOA will be holding its second event of the year at the Towe Auto Museum in Sacramento:

Sunday, July 20, 2008
10:00A - 12:00 noon (or later if you would like to stay for lunch)

Towe Auto Museum
2200 Front Street
Sacramento, CA 95818
http://www.toweautomuseum.org/

Here is the copy and paste from the event flyer:
We will be upfront about this: there are no Volvos on display at the Museum, other than the ones that members will be driving to this event. But if you want to shore up your knowledge of automotive history and learn about the technological ancestors of your Volvo, this is the event for you. The Museum is biased towards early Ford products (Model T & Model A), but since Ford owns Volvo, I guess that's the tie-in, if you need one. Seriously, if you want to learn about automotive history, this is the best place in the Sacramento Valley to do so.

We will have a reserved parking area outside the museum for our members, where "Volvo" will definitely be spoken. After the museum tour, which should take about 90 min., attendees can visit the Museum's gift shop and/or gather outside in our reserved area and meet fellow Volvo enthusiasts. Around Noon, we will adjourn to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Lunch is optional and is a separate cost from the museum visit-- restaurant choice will be by popular vote after the tour, please bring your location suggestions, we'll bring ours.

We will be receiving a special discounted admission rate, the maximum charge is $5/person. A local VCOA event, cheap (cheaper than going to the movies!), and it won't take a whole day. What more could you ask for?

Important note: So that the Museum may have enough docents on hand for our tour, you must RSVP by Sunday, July 13, 2008 to: Jon Manji or Jeff Molander. Their e-mail addresses are at the bottom of this page. In your e-mail, please state the number of persons in your party that will be attending (include yourself).

Your reservation is a financial commitment; please call or e-mail and cancel if you cannot attend.

If you are in the area, we hope to see you there!

Also stay tuned for our next events (we'll post more details as the plans are finalized):
-Scenic drive in the Foothills
-Technical session at Sacramento's Volvo Service (SVS), possibly followed up with a visit to area pick-n-pull(s).

We do not have a website yet, but are looking to get one. If you're a web site designer and would like to help, let us know.

Take care.
