Volkswagen Family Reunion Click here for flyer
The Volkswagen Family Reunion was on June 16th, 2007 at the Morrison Auto Group on Dimond and Old Seward, 10:00 am till 5:00 pm, featured awards for Volkswagens, Porsches, and Audis, and was a good time for the whole family. Thanks to everyone who brought out their cars to make it such a success! We had 37 cars register. Not as many as last year, but we only had 2 members of the Porsche Club show-up. Thanks again to our sponsors: Underground Performance and Off-Road, Allstate Insurance, Northstart Audio, Alaska Highway Safety...and of course Morrison Auto Group! Morrison bought radio and newspaper ads to promote the show, paid for the hot dogs and supplied a ton of door prizes. Thanks guys! Thanks also to the four men from Midnight Sun Street Rod Association who volunteered their time to judge the show. Good job! See the list below for the winners.

Membership
We've initiated a program where members will receive a membership card upon paying their annual dues. On the back of the card are boxes. Boxes can be checked off every time you participate in a club event (meeting, cruise, show etc.). At next year's Christmas party, you'll be able to "cash in" your cards for incredible prizes (OK, fun stuff anyway). Just the club's way of saying "Thank you" to everyone who was involved over the year.

Mike Brown is organizing a new chapter of the AACVW...the AORVWs (Arctic Off-Road VWs) for all you off-road enthusiasts. The AORVWs will be planning off-road and camping trips throughout the summer...so watch for announcements.

Recruitment Cards
Have you seen an aircooled VW in a parking lot, and want to introduce them to our club? Leave them one of these club recruitment cards!
