April 5-6, 2014: 16th Annual Davis Meet Weekend (GGVCOA & SacVCOA)
Hi Everyone,
Please join the GGVCOA and SacVCOA for the 16th Annual Davis Meet Weekend!
Saturday, April 5, 2014 – Sunday, April 6, 2014
Event details for both days are still being finalized, so for the latest details, check the chapter websites:
Home - GGVCOA
Sac Volvo Club
Davis Meet Weekend
Hosted by GGVCOA & SacVCOA
April 5, 2014 - April 6, 2014
This year we will be celebrating the 16th anniversary of this event, and the 31st anniversary of the Volvo Club of America! At the Car Show on Sunday, we will present awards in over 20 different categories with most of them being selected by People’s Choice voting. There will be multiple vendors attending and bringing great gift certificates (IPD, GROM, and many more!). As always, we will have awesome raffles with great prizes and other swag! All this and much more will make Davis 2014 epic!
A brief and incomplete description of the weekend events include (please check the Golden Gate & Sacramento Chapter websites for the latest info):
SATURDAY, April 5th: No autocross this year, but we are scheduling a Poker Run that will conclude with the very popular Auto-X rehab party at the Sacramento Chapter past-president’s personal Volvo-themed auto garage. Good food, an engine blow, dyno-pulls, detailing and window-tinting services are all on tap for this year's party. Check the Sacramento Chapter's website, Sac Volvo Club for the latest details.
SUNDAY, April 6th: After a good night’s rest from the previous day's activities, or a beautiful drive in from wherever you're coming from, comes the main event! Gates open at 8:00 a.m. and close at 10:30 a.m., but the fun continues through the Awards Ceremony at 1:30 p.m. "Volvo" is the preferred language of the day, and there's no better place to hang out with friends, fellow Volvo enthusiasts, and talk with each other about the amazing selection of Volvos (vintage, stock, brick, modified, etc.). Throughout the day, there will be random activities and multiple raffle drawings for amazing prizes.
If you miss the pre-registration deadline, no worries, as you can pay at the gate. The general price for the event will be only $25 per car. If you're bringing a wagon with the optional extra seat and it's full of people it is still only $25! VCOA members will receive an additional value-added service during registration or at the entry gate. (Swap meet sales spaces have a different price.) Details at: www.facebook.com/ggvcoa or Home - GGVCOA
(Now for the Disclaimer: The events, services, and schedule of the Davis Meet Weekend are currently still in development and may change/cancel at any time. We have no control over the weather, earthquakes, vendors dropping out, or traffic :-). The items and services listed above represent only a partial list of the schedule currently in development. There is a real chance the show might be even more awesome than described above!)
See you at the 16th Annual Davis Meet Weekend!

Call for Volunteers!
This year's Show is on track to be a record-breaking one, and as the Show grows, so does the need for volunteers. We estimate that we'll need about 20 volunteers, so if you're undecided about helping out, this is the year to do it.
Yes, it's your chance to give back to the Volvo community, and it's fun, educational, and good for you. Experience not needed, we provide training. Choose your shift— first shift people get done early and avoid the crowd for parking. See the list below, if you can help out, please let us know ASAP!
Gate/Parking: Direct drivers to correct parking area or collect entry fees and hand out registration packets.
-First Shift: 7:15 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
-Second Shift: 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Raffle: Sell raffle tickets and chapter merchandise.
-First Shift: 10:45 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.
-Second Shift: 12:55 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
If you have any questions or are interested in volunteering for the Gate/Parking or Raffle positions, please e-mail Justin Lee, GGVCOA President and let him know the post and shift that you want.
------
Photographers: If you have a good quality, high-resolution digital camera, we need you to take photos of the cars and happenings at the Show. There is also an opportunity to have your photos published in one of two national magazines. Last year, seven members had their photos published!
-First Shift: 8:45 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
-Second Shift: 11:15 a.m. to end of show (approx. 2:00 p.m.)
