We'll park our own cars - but there will be a $5 valet charge.

Breakfast will be in the Huntington Beach Room overlooking the ocean and pier.

Note from Rich Link, AZ Club President:
Our event this year includes a continental breakfast at Bill Luke Dodge, and entry to BOTH Russo and Steele and Barrett-Jackson auctions.  As always, we would love to have your So Cal members join us again this year!   I've attached our flyer, which you can forward to your members.  We look forward to seeing you again in January!

When are you going to come out to play again?

Hello Viper Club Members!

This year we have a very special donation from Viper Club Member, Lance Kouchi.  He has handcrafted and customized this beautiful Ukulele for some very lucky member!  This is to be auctioned off at the Christmas Party next weekend.  We have opened up the auction for all members to bid (whether you can attend the party or not).  Lance's hand crafted Ukuleles have sold for thousands of dollars...before customizing.

If you're interested in this beautiful instrument, sign in and place your bid.  If you  have trouble signing in, please feel free to email me. [email protected]

The Ukulele is made from Koa wood, with wood accents of Mango, Ebony,
Curly Maple and Rosewood, along with inlaid Abalone shell.
Lance has invested well over 50-hours in the build.
An embroidered case is also included.

If you're serious about winning and cannot make the Christmas Party, find someone attending that can do your bidding via phone  <1

=3    Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
