RANCHO CUCAMONGA PT CRUISER CRUISIN’ CLUB 2009
FEBRUARY 2009 NEWSLETTER ISSUE #27
January 12 2009 Club Cruisin' Membership.
Hello Cruisin' Cruisers
I will continue to add more cruises throughout the year so
check out the web site every so often to keep informed of
the events going on. Also I am contacting places that we
will be cruisin' to and asking them if they will give us a
discount when we show them our I.D. cards. Already
several have said they will acknowledge our Cruisin' Club
I.D. Cards for a discount so hopefully I can get some more.
As you know this club has no stationary Meet & Greets
and we have no business meetings, or contact other than
the scheduled cruises so if you want to use the web site
message board or comments board on the web site, go
right ahead and type anything you like.
Remember though, this club is not one to take away your
allegiance from a car club you might belong to, but one
that cares about your membership and happy you join this
club to cruise. I have heard nothing but good compliments
from many people in other clubs about the club members
and about the cruisin’ club.
This club went from a stationary Meet & Greet Club to a
full time Cruisin' Club this year and I believe we are the
only first full time PT Cruiser Cruisin' Club in the entire
state of California, and possibly the United States.
Dale Brooks will be calling on the club cruisin' membership
for a reminder of any upcoming cruise a few days before a
cruise. In addition I have U.S. mailed the entire 2009
Cruise Schedule to the club members that have no access
to a computer so that they will be informed of what’s going
on during the year.
