Don&Patty Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 A couple of years ago the Tempe Kiwanis (Nuevo Club) put on a car show and according to there letter they had 83 entries one of which was me. For what ever reason they did not have a 2007 car show but are having one this coming March 1st. They sent me a letter wanting to know “if the car club to which you may belong would be interested in being an official host”? I know that we have talked about a car show but never had one and to the best of my knowledge have never been a host so maybe this would be an opportunity. I have no idea what a host does but the letter did say “a goodwill ambassadors might be a better description for your services along with promoting the show.” They do not expect any financial aid except for registration fees for car entrants. Anyway, though I’d raise the idea and see what you think.EDIT: According to Don and Patty, we need 10 cars in order to host this. Sign up ASAP so we can get our name on the flyers. $30 per car for car show entry. You get a $5 reimbursement at the show for being there as an ACE representative. No other monetary needs are necessary for this. Lets go ACE!!!!List so far:Don and Patty-paidRobert and Elizabeth-paidAZ78Vette-paidracingchesterPete2000bigmike32172 (maybe)1EvilC5-paidBigfoot99-paidp51tj-paidmr husker-paid84vette (maybe)If you are interested, pm me your email addy and I will send you the flyers I was sent with all the info.Location: On Baseline just east of Rural on north side of street. It is about 1/8 to 1/4 mile east of Rural by a Village Inn (I think). You will see the big 2 story balloon set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also suggest sending the admin of ACE, Dwayne (Desertdawg), Phil (1EvilC5), Eddie (Eddie44) and Tim (P51tj) a PM about this so they are all aware of it and can make a timely decision. E~UPDATE: I sent the admins a PM regarding this today (12/14). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P51tj Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 http://www.kiwanisnuevo.org/content.aspx?p...;module_id=4246This would be a good event to get us all together to break spring in. Dawg please chime in to make sure this dosen't conflict with the GB event or any other known ACE events. Others chime in with your interest and Don, are you grabbing this bull by the horns?

Don&Patty Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 When I get back after the holidays I plan on talking with the Tempe Kiwanis and asking a few questions and I need your help. The following are what I came up with off the top so if there are any other questions that shold be asked let me know.What does a car club “host” do, what are the duties, responsibilities and functions?What liability, if any, would the hosting club have? As a club “host” is there a minimum number of participants required? What is the latest date on which notification can be received as to being a host or not?

Don&Patty Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 OK, here’s the info on being an “official host.” I talked with Susie Chuck of the Kiwanis Nuevo Club. She stated that for us to be a host we have to have a minimum of 10 entries, that’s it. If we have the 10 entries we will be listed in the flyer and other publications as an official host of the car show. There is no out of pocket expenses except the $25.00 entry fee per car and no other duties. So if we can get ten entries we’re a host. The entry form must state that you are an ACE (Arizona Corvette Enthusiasts) member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
