Your Organizing Team

"Commander" Sherry Maples was the first appointment to the 09 SoCalCar O.T. and is currently overseeing the gathering and analysis of our marketing survey data. Maples will also act as the SoCalCar's "CFO" once fund raising activities begin.

"Commander" Tony Megowan is directing the SoCalCar's "Route Book" project. Preparing the Route Book is perhaps the most time consuming task the organizing committee undertakes. A copy is given to every Caravan entry. It contains the information Caravanners need to travel across the country on the National Corvette Caravan.

"Commander" Ron Cohen is overseeing all of the Team's relationships with hotels, car dealers and other vendors with which we'll work with along the Caravan route. In addition, Cohen's business, Gorilla Travel, will be available to make hotel reservations for Southern California Caravanners.

The Organizing Team wants to add one more person to this "Commanders Council" which makes up the core leadership of the team of people which will plan, organize and stage the Southern California Caravan.

To become a "Commander" requires leadership and teamwork skills. You must reside in Southern California. Membership in a Corvette Club and past experience with club event planning and organizing are also required. Participation in the past National Corvette Caravans is desired. Also, past experience with setting-up road tours for large groups of cars would be helpful. Commanders must make a two and half year commitment to the SoCalCar Organizing Team. The job will require free time, especially in the final 6-9 months of event planning.

Anyone interested in volunteering as a Caravan Commander should email a brief resume and a short introductory letter to Hib Halverson at captain.socalcar@charter.net or it can be mailed to: Hib Halverson, 1469 Oahu St., West Covina, CA 91792.

SoCalCar Captain, Hib Halverson, is looking for two individuals to serve as Local Leaders of two "feeder caravans" which will depart from the south end of the Central Coast region and the San Diego area a day before the main Southern California Caravan departs from the L.A. area. These "Lieutenants" must live in those areas. They will be responsible for organizing and leading modest-sized groups of cars to the SoCalCar departure point in the L.A. area. These local leaders must be capable of organizing a small "event" at the departure location of their feeder caravan

Those applying for these positions on the SoCalCar Organizing Team should have some prior experience organizing club events. Also, experience in planning and organizing road tours or small caravans would be useful.

Those interested in volunteering for such a job should contact Hib Halverson at captain.socalcar@charter.net

Best regards,
The Southern California/Southern Nevada Caravan Organizing Team
