February is the hardest month of the year for me.  At this point I’m sick of cold weather and I want to tell “Old Man Winter” to shove it!  So, I tend to focus on the coming months instead of dwelling on the current one.

If you are a baseball fan, then you are excited that pitchers and catchers have reported for spring training.  If you are a fan of the Olympics, then you are zoned in on watching the USA collect some gold and probably find yourself checking the medal count (which at the time of writing this blog, we were winning ).  If you are an NFL fan then you are starting to catch up on all the latest mock drafts.  Hockey and basketball are in full motion and “March Madness” is just around the corner.

However, if you are a VW fan (if you are reading this, then chances are that you have DUB in your blood) then you are probably itching to get your dub out of storage or maybe, like me, frantically trying to get your project road worthy.  I take a great deal of solace in knowing that my fellow VW nuts are just a call away and that I can always scratch that itch every month at our member meetings. 

One thing you can bank on is that our club is planning a number of summer events. 

Starting in April we will be hosting a our first “Harsh Winters Cruise Night” which is slated to take place the 1st and 3rd Thursday night of every month at the Doggy Diner (the old Swonys) on Hill Ave in Aurora.  Plan to see club members there after 5pm til whenever.  (I’ll write up a separate blog on this later).

Next on the agenda for the summer is our annual Spring Jump Start.   This event will be hosted by JC Whitney at their retail location in La Salle, IL on May 1st.  We are looking forward to seeing everyone come out, dust off their VW’s and take advantage of some great goodie bags and door prizes…along with the JC Whitney 20% discount on all items purchased that day at their store.  We had a blast last year and it’s FREE… so come on out and join in on some sun and VW fun!  Also be aware that JC Whitney has their spring show the very next day and they have added an award for the VW class.  Yay us! 

There are many other events that we are planning and I will continue to post up information as we solidify our plans.  Please don’t hesitate to sign up on our FREE forums.  We are an extremely active online community with lots of VW knowledge.  Also feel free to come out to our monthly member meetings if you want to get to know us better and find out more about who/what we are all about! 

Stay tuned!
