We closed 2009 with our annual club Christmas Party. 

As I look back over the year, it was certainly a year full of highs and lows.

Dan and Cathy poured countless hours of work and planning into all the Club Events

and every one of them were flawless successes.  On behalf of the entire So Cal Club,

I want to Thank them for all that they do for us.  They are the true "Member's of the Year" !!!

Without their strength, knowledge and ability to manage ALL aspects of the Club, we would

not have the Club we all enjoy.

Losing our dear friend, Dave Cawthorne, was a huge loss to the Club and he was sorely

missed at every event.   He will never be replaced or forgotten.

In spite of the depressing economy, the Viper remained strong and the Club has gained

many brand new Members.  I congratulate and welcome each and every one of them to

our Club and encourage them to come out and enjoy what the Club has to offer in 2010.

I am hopeful that all our Viper owners renew their VCA membership and help support our

Club.   2010 promises to be another banner year with some new events and  VOI-11  !!!

I must also take the time to send a very special  THANK YOU to my incredible wife, Lori.

Without her love, support, and trust,  I would not have the time or opportunity to do the things

I am so very privileged to do.   She is my inspiration and the reason I am able to accomplish

all that I do every single day.    I love you Hon !   

I managed to take a few pictures throughout the evening, but I must admit that I spent more time

visiting, eating and enjoying the party with all the great people that came out.

I have to Thank Dan and Cathy, and Nino for the awesome framed VOI-5 print !

It is proudly hanging on my office wall.

Welcome brand new member Jiri.
