VCA Member's Holiday Party
December 3, 2011 - Saturday
(http://www.kouchicentral.com/images/11-malloy/DSC_9295.JPG)
The So Cal VCA Member's Holiday party will be held at the Malloy Foundation in Corona CA. (close to the 15 Fwy and 91 Fwy)
Mr. Malloy has agreed to hosting our Holiday Party in and amongst his incredible private collection of historic race cars which he has "garaged" in a showroom setting. Time:Cocktails and tour 6:00 pm
Dinner at 7:00 pm
Cost:$75.00 per person
We have a maximum capacity of 100 people, so mark your calendar and sign up early to ensure a spot at this very special venue.
CharityThis year we are proud to sponsor the Orangewood Children's Foundation http://orangewoodfoundation.org/ (http://orangewoodfoundation.org/) This Foundation provides support to the many unfortunate kids that have been removed from their homes due to various conditions like abuse, neglect and abandonment. We are going to specifically target the older kids (14 - 18 years old) in the home, since they are often overlooked during the Holidays.
Our hope is that each Couple that attends the Holiday Party finds it in their heart to donate one gift suitable for a young adult. For ideas, please visit: http://orangewoodfoundation.org/docs/2011_OCF_Holiday_Wish_List.pdf (http://orangewoodfoundation.org/docs/2011_OCF_Holiday_Wish_List.pdf)

Lance announced at the Ventura Run that we are going to a special place for the Holiday Party.
A few clues were thrown out. (Awesome, Amazing, Fantastic, and the Coolest!) I think I figured it out.
Can You? >m Set the Date. Team Izard is in! <1 ^2
As much as I am DYING to post the pictures of what lies behind the double doors, I'm not going to ruin the surprise for everyone. All I can say is that the details of the Party are slowly coming together and we are in for an incredible treat. >r
Looks like the picture was taken on Feb 21, 2011 at 3:19 in the afternoon, so we just need to find out where PCH was on that day!
We have been hard at work getting things in order for the Holiday Party on Dec 3rd.
I have updated the first post and will have a Paypal Link up shortly.
Please note that this is a Private Collection and one of the conditions we agreed to was that we would not post the address of this facility. Specific directions will be emailed to each Member that registers.
Demoe and Laura are in. Looking forward to it and more than happy to donate a gift.
Thanks to all of you for putting this together.
Ray + 1 for the Christmas Party.

Thanks for putting this together!

okay, understood on the secrecy issue, but will this venue require securing overnight accommodations for some members?

The Malloy Foundation is located very close to the 15 Fwy and the 91 Fwy. We haven't booked any overnight accomodations at this point.....however will certainly do so if Members chime in early saying that they want to spend the night.
The biggest issue for the Club in setting up a room block is that the Club essentially has to buy the block of rooms that we reserve. If people don't use them, we still have to pay for them.
Of course we could just pick a hotel and people could make their reservations on their own as well. I can look into that as well....
Hey Lance - when I click on register, after entering no. and Club no, it goes to Paypal site, but no registration or cart. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

I looked into Hotels in the area and there really isn't a lot. Best I can find which is pretty close to the Malloy Foundation is this:
Residence Inn by Marriott Corona Riverside (951) 371-0107 1015 Montecito Dr, Corona, CA 92879
Please count me in, not sure if I'll be going solo or plus one.
That is the same night as my christmas party >o. I am looking into changing it but that might be very hard to do I will let you know. Eddie
Lance,
Of course Laura and I will be there. We will need to set up a photo area again. >u
Add Jim and Judy to the list. Check will be in the mail. Looking forward to the party.
Jennifer and I plan to be there. I'll put the check in the mail box tomorrow morning.
It will be great to see everyone again before I forget your names.
~Jay
Mary and I are in! Check going to Nino.
Michelle and I are in. We changed the world famous shop party to a Sunday, we will see how that works out. Lance said this is one you do not want to miss. See you there.
Eddie
Our Treasurer gave us the blessing to reduce the cost to $75.00 per person ! >t >r >g
For those who have already submitted payment THANK YOU ! A refund will be sent out shortly.
For all others, sign up early as we have a max capacity of 100 people.
Thanks Lance. This is good news indeed.
Teresa and I are planning to attend.
Looking to put together a limo for the San Diego group. >r

THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON PARTY!!!
With Thanksgiving coming up quickly and all of us getting busy for the Holiday Season, please take a look at your calendar and see if you can fit in an AWESOME Holiday Party for the evening of Saturday, December 3rd.
Lance has been working on this for MONTHS and it would be a shame to miss out on it, as it's going to be special. We'll be presenting our 2012 EVENTS CALENDAR at the Party, also, and will have it up on the website shortly after that. So, let's hear from you! Get your names up on the list for the HOLIDAY PARTY!
<14
Lance do we get any sneak peeks of what we're going to see at the Holiday Party location? >v
Well since you asked....Here are just a few of the cars he owns:

I'm purposely NOT showing you the inside of his building, but will tell you that as a "working" garage, it is every man's dream >v
Very cool! Getting excited.
Folks signup this is going to be great!
Lyle and I will attend.
Dan
Melanie and I are all signed up and paid through PayPal. Looking forward to it. Can't believe it is already the end of the year!
-Michael
Diane and I are in and looking forward to it. Should be fun!
Matt and Marcela Chapman are registered. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
I just purchased a couple gift cards for i-tunes to bring to the Party for the charity. I plan to get a couple more from Wal Mart. Such an easy way to provide a teenager with a gift, and a great way to contribute to our chosen charity project! Try to remember to grab something like the gift cards and bring to our Party! Pam

Laura and I will not be able to attend.
Hope all of you enjoy the evening.
Izzy and I will be attending the party and have already purchased are tickets!!
Excellent Christophe! Look forward to meeting you.
Matt and Marcela...happy to hear you'll be able to make it.
Dan and I are in! Look forward to seeing everyone! =24
Hi Pam,
Looks like Melanie and I may be double counted on the RSVP list. On the paid list as Michael Vaswani (2)and the "not paid" list as Mike & Melanie. Can you verify.
Thanks,
-Michael

Ditto, sorry Lance! We'll be a little late, save us two seats, THX Mike
I'm glad you guys are coming out.
Any other last minute people??
I'm turning in the final head count first thing Tuesday morning so this is your lasy chance !
Lance,
I just made my payment through Paypal. See you guys this weekend!
Angel
I know this is a Viper Club event, but considering that it will be after dark are most of you planning on driving your Vipers?
~Jay
Hi Jay,
Many will drive their Vipers, many will not. We will be indoors the entire time away from our cars, so drive what you prefer.
We have over 90 people for our Holiday Party ! It will be a really nice event and I look forward to seeing everyone.
We will start signing people in at 5:45 and the doors will open to the main room promptly at 6:00, so don't rush to be there an hour early.
Dinner will be served at 7:00 =19
I received something in the mail today and can not wait to get it up on the auction table >r
Drive safe and we'll see everyone Sat. evening
Jay,
What Lance says.
We'll be driving a comfortable new sedan, i.e. not a Viper.
Dan
Team Izard rented a limo. And you know who is driving <q
>4
Too cool, Team Izard! And we want to see that at the drags! Or maybe the AutoX; it'd be quite the sight going around those tight cones!
It's going to be a really fun, really nice Party tonight! See ya-all there!! Pam & Paul
<u
Paul & Pam
<m Fantastic...a Viper Quatraporte!
Should be a great night.
Don't forget the charity gifts >r
If you usually don't bring a camera to events like this, please due so this time. You will see some VERY historic race cars that you may never see again. I'm not saying he will, but Mr. Malloy is usually pretty generous about letting people sit in some of the cars. His memorabilia collection is also amazing. You know I'm biting my tongue Lance!
The Party was great! Thank you to all that put in the time to make it happen!!
Lance - it is hard to believe, but you and your team keep raising the bar ...... a truly great Xmas party!
What was everyone's favorite car. I think mine was the GT 40. So much to choose from!!!!
Lance,
A really classy Holiday Party. >s
Great to see some old friends, and make some new ones.
A wonderful, and special night for the SoCal ViperNation.
Paul
Thanks everyone for putting this together, it was really fun and it was great to see everyone again. I had a busy morning and forgot my camera... I won't make that mistake again!
I'm really looking forward to the next event.

We closed out 2011 with our Holiday Party at the Malloy Foundation and everything turned out great!
Once again, a HUGE thanks to our Club Officers which did so much for me all year long.
Of course all our efforts would be wasted if the members did not come out and support the Club at all the different events throughout the year, so THANK YOU VCA members ! You are the true ingredient to all the fun.
I tried really hard to take some pictures, but only managed to get a handful. They are now posted on my site
www.kouchicentral.com (http://www.kouchicentral.com)
Here are just a few:
(http://www.kouchicentral.com/images/11-misc%20malloy/DSC_9272.JPG)
This truly is a working garage and the work they do on Mr. Malloy's cars is incredible.
(http://www.kouchicentral.com/images/11-misc%20malloy/DSC_9278.JPG)
He has quite a collection.
(http://www.kouchicentral.com/images/11-23%20holiday%20party/DSC_7537.JPG)
As you can see, we had our tables set up for over 90 people and still were dwarfed by all the room and magnificent cars.
(http://www.kouchicentral.com/images/11-23%20holiday%20party/DSC_7539.JPG)
Our table centerpieces with Viper ornaments inside.
(http://www.kouchicentral.com/images/11-23%20holiday%20party/DSC_7542.JPG)
It is IMPOSSIBLE to out-do what Dan and Cathy established as the norm for our Club events.
The only thing I could do was to put a small part of me into the event and hope for the best.
Each attendee got a special So Cal Viper desk clock. Mr. Malloy got the large wall clock in appreciation from our Club.

Thank You JonB from PartsRack for donating these beautiful watercolor prints which we auctioned off.
(http://www.kouchicentral.com/images/11-23%20holiday%20party/DSC_7544.JPG)
How many automotive CEO's interact with their customers on a first name basis? ONE !
I am still in absolute awe of the fact that he would take the time to write a personal letter and mail out a signed poster for our club to auction off at our Holiday Party. THANK YOU Ralph and Doris !!!

Thank you Judy Kenehan for creating such a cool quilt for our Club.

Lance - I am BLOWN away by your craftsmanship. I don't know where you found the time to crank out ALL those beautiful hand-crafted clocks (not to mention the DVD and everything else you did for this party)! Thank you for your incredible generosity in time and talent!
