The national tour team met on January 26th and got right back to work after our holiday break. The main focus of the meeting was to discuss the logo and get an update from the tour committee.
Cindy Vining and Patty Girman are busy getting all thefinancialbusinessofthetourorganized. The tour committee is doing a great job getting our tours planned. We will begin testing our planned routes in April. The tours will leave and end at the Double Tree in Rohnert Park. We will be asking each tour participant to follow the guide directions exactly as written and provide feedback. No follow-ing the leader! The logo is still in the planning stage but we are get-ting there. What we have so far looks great. We have alsowrittena“SavetheDate”articlefortheVintageFord we will be submitting for the next issue.
