MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
Carlsen Volvo of Palo Alto Invites you to attend our 9th annual car show. We hope that you can join us on Saturday, August 7, 2010 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. FREE BBQ and FREE RAFFLE PRIZES We encourage all Volvo owners to participate and show off your Volvo whether it is Vintage, modified, stock, shiny and new, dirty or beat up. It doesn’t matter what Volvo you bring, just bring it out for all to see! You will be amazed by how many different types of Volvos are displayed. There will be trophies for several categories including a Judge’s Choice Award Registration is free. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged and greatly appreciated. Carlsen Volvo’s 2009 Car Show was the largest car show event we have sponsored to date. Last year’s show featured 100 amazing Volvos, and was attended by approximately 300 true Volvo enthusiasts. We are hoping that this year’s show will break our previous record. Please help us reach our goal by inviting other local and distant Volvo owners to this event. Last year’s swap meet was so successful; we decided to include it again this year. This year’s swap meet will be bigger, better and is likely to please every Volvo fanatic! Come out to buy, come out to sell, just come out and have some fun at Carlsen Volvo! Registration is free. To pre-register your vehicle and/or to sell at the swap meet, or to obtain more information about this exciting event, please contact Larry Fuhs at www.carlsenvolvo.com or lfuhs@carlsenvolvo.com.

Hi Everyone,
Join long time VCOA club member Jon Manji to experience a lecture and demonstration based on his long experience on how to prepare your car for a car show. With Spring ready to Spring, and car club events and shows just weeks away, this is a great opportunity to learn what judges are looking for when evaluating your “rolling” vehicle entry against others. Jon is a member of many car clubs and has also served as a judge at various car shows for years, so please come and take advantage of his knowledge and experience. A few Volvo’s will be available after the lecture to allow Jon to demonstrate his teachings on actual vehicles. Here's a look at last year's event: http://www.sacvolvoclub.org/Home/events/2009-past-events#M4a Meeting location: Coloma Community Center Gold Run Room (located at the front of the Center) 4623 T Street Sacramento, CA 95819 Meeting time: 9:00A to 12:00 noon Due to space limitations, RSVPs are Required Please RSVP by April 2 In your RSVP, please include your name, # of people (including yourself), & contact info (in case of last minute changes) To ask questions or RSVP, you can contact Jeff Molander, Chapter President, or Jon Manji, Event Coordinator, on our Event Flyer page. This information is also posted on the Sac Volvo Club Event Flyer page: http://www.sacvolvoclub.org/Home/events/event-flyer (An interactive map, driving direction gadgets, and detailed download-able event flyer can also be found on the Event Flyer page.) Hope to see you there! Take care, volvie! |

Hi Everyone,
Our first event of the year will be with Peter Mausolf at Volvo Independent Service in Rancho Cordova. Mark Baldwin is organizing this event as he did last year. This will be a Q&A type focus where you can fire any question you have to Peter that you might have on front wheel drive Volvos or post-'75 rear wheel drive Volvos, (This event is open to everyone however!). As he did last year, Peter may put your car on a lift to better demonstrate his answers to your questions or to make comments from a visual perspective. Here is a look at last year's event: http://www.sacvolvoclub.org/Home/events/2009-past-events#M3 Meeting location: Volvo Independent Service 3310 Monier Circle, #1, Rancho Cordova, CA 95742 http://www.volvois.biz/ Meeting time: 10:00A The event starts at 10:00 AM and we will go until noon to 1:00 PM or until questions begin to die down, so keep Peter busy by writing down your questions beforehand! Afterward we will decide on a restaurant in the area for lunch. To ask questions or RSVP, you can send me an e-mail / PM or contact Jeff Molander on our Event Flyer or Contact Us page. This information is also posted on the Sac Volvo Club Event Flyer page: http://www.sacvolvoclub.org/Home/events/event-flyer (An interactive map and driving direction gadgets can also be found on the Event Flyer page.) Hope to see you there! Take care, volvie! |
