Hello Viper club,

First, I want to thank you all for renewing this year. We have had 47 out of 64 renew so far. Which is great, far ahead of where we are at this time in previous years.

I know you have been anxiously waiting to hear about this years plans. We are going to try something different this year. The plan is to do 4 major events, one each quarter. These events will be planned by your club officers with some help from local members. These events will be 2-4 day events. The tentative plans will be below. We will also continue the Viper Family Winter Vacation, after a successful and fun carnival cruise this year.

The months in-between the major events are open for any of you to organize single or half day events in your area. Officers will be available to help you and guide you with planning the event. For example, Member John Doe wants to plan car & coffee in Greenville SC with lunch after then a cruise thru mountains followed by dinner. John Doe will get with an officer to notify them of the plans or ask for help to plan, AT LEAST 30 DAYS PRIOR. They will give the officer the date, location, times, and hotel details (if required). The officers will post the event on the website and social media, then email all members. During the event you will oversee communicating with everyone attending, making any decisions to alter the event and notifying everyone of changes, and leading the drives and overall flow of the day. Again, officers will be available to help if needed and offer advice. So please reach out ASAP when you want to do something in your area. It can be anything from C&C, scenic drive, winery/brewery, car show, dragstrip, dinner, white water rafting, whatever you think will be fun as a group.
