Join us in Santa Barbara for the National Regional Combo Meet - Saturday, June 27, 2009.
Yes!!! This is going to be a great day for the So Cal Chapters of the EOC, ROC and CR-VOC, as we join together on Saturday, June 27 for the National Regional Combo Meet in Santa Barbara, CA. What a great opportunity for members of each club to get together and meet one another!
If you've never been to any one of our previous meets and have hesitations about going for the first time...get rid of them! This event will be fun and nothing we do is required. You can confirm your attendance now by selecting one of the poll responses above, check in at the meet and hang out in Santa Barbara by yourself if you choose to do so. But, I have a feeling you may want to mingle with the others after you get a chance to meet a few of our many friendly members. So, confirm your attendance today. Please let me know by selecting one of the poll responses above. This is important because I want to make sure that I have enough event badges and other items that I am working on. Join us on Saturday, June 27, 2009! I look forward to seeing you there!

Caravan to Santa Barbara
Are you up for a road/day trip? How about driving to the Meet with a couple of meeting/gathering points along a prescribed route to Santa Barbara? Sort of like a Tour d’ Elegance.
