Although the Mercedes-Benz Club of America is a not-for-profit organization, and is not an affiliate of Mercedes-Benz USA or Daimler-Benz AG, the Club does enjoy the unique position of being sanctioned by MBUSA. Since MBCA's inception, a Mercedes-Benz representative has provided liaison in support of the club's functions, activities, and business affairs. In addition, Mercedes-Benz and Daimler-Benz have supplied generous quantities of historical and technical information and assistance. The club is very proud of this relationship and its permission to use the name and trademark of Mercedes-Benz. |
| President's Message |
May will be a busy month for the Orange Country Section. On May 6 we are having our annual new member picnic, and on May 12 Fletcher Jones
is hosting a series of educational seminars along with providing refreshments. Both of these events offer a great opportunity to meet with
other club members and friends.
As always, the new member picnic is free to all new members of the OC section (those that have joined within the past year). Others must pay the princely sum of $6 for a fabulous catered Bar-B-Q lunch with a wide selection of beverages, a chance to win some great prizes and the privilege of spending the day with other MBZ enthusiasts at White Horse Ranch. Check our website at www.mboc.info or this issue of the OC Star for more details.
If you are receiving the newsletter through the US postal service (snail mail), then we probably do not have an email address for you. I encourage you to send me your email address so we can include you on our list. This helps you and the club in two ways. First, it enables us to get the newsletter and other information to you quicker so you can plan ahead for activities. Secondly, it saves the club printing and mailing costs. This enables us to subsidize the cost of more events for our members.
The search for more members to become active in the OC section continues. Currently the most pressing need is for a newsletter editor who actively participates in club meetings and events. Participation is desired so the editor has first-hand information about what is happening. The editor is then able providing much of the information needed for the newsletter without relying on others.
