AMS Car Show, May 15

Posted on 05/07/2021 by rustybug

The AMS Car Show starts at 10 am on Saturday May 15th. We previously discussed using this show as a potential May meeting: let’s make it happen! In typical RADC fasion, we’ll meet at the Fort Collins Donut Company (234 N College Ave a1, Fort Collins, CO 80524) at 8:30 am. Then we can cruise to AMS together as a group.

Rusty will have club shirts with him at the donut shop and the show, and says that he will soon make an announcement about a Father’s Day car show in June (he’s still working on the details).

Club Shirts and Dues

Posted on 03/11/2021 by syoho71

Everyone is welcome to join our club and get this year’s shirt. Please place your order by March 31, 2021. Here’s what this year’s logo looks like in just 4 of the 10 available colors:

Dues are $25 for the year, $15 for junior members (18 and under). This will get you this year’s shirt, a club sticker, and a vote on any official club business. For ease of shirt order, we will place just one order in April so we need your order by March 31. After that dues go down to $15 for the year; you still get the sticker and the vote, just no shirt.

Shirt colors include black, sport grey, royal blue, red, navy blue, cardinal, carolina blue, Irish green, purple and desert sand. The ink will be black, white and grey, allowing the color of the shirt to color the lower half of the bus.

Paying Your Dues

Because of current challenges attending club events, we have two dues payment options:

OPTION 1: Make a payment via PayPal (there is a small PayPal fee). When Rusty receives your payment, he’ll follow up with an email asking your preferred email address, phone number, and shirt size(s).

OPTION 2: Snail mail a check, made out to Rusty Pooler, at 36795 Brian Ave. Windsor, CO 80550. Please include your preferred email contact, your phone number, and your shirt size(s). Once received, Rusty will email you to confirm receipt. This takes a bit longer, but works fine, too.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Rusty at oildripper69vw@gmail.com.

Monthly Activity: Jackson’s Birthday Parade – Sun, Feb 21

Posted on 02/17/2021 by syoho71

Hey dub nuts, for February’s club activity we are going to do a Birthday Parade for a local 12-year-old who loves VW Busses.

We will meet at the back parking lot of Spokes Inc. bicycle shop (421 Main St, Windsor) at 9 am to get prepped. There will be donuts! We will proceed wit the parade drive by at 10 AM.

I will have Hot Wheels-sized gift bags available for everyone, so each car can give Jackson something as they drive by. I will also bring a supply of Hot Wheels cars. If you have some that you would want to donate, that would be cool. I’ll also pick up some balloons on Saturday to tie on the cars.

If you could, please respond to this event post so we have a head count. I look forward to seeing everyone this weekend! And seeing some big birthday smiles!

Rare Air Dub Club Dues & Donuts

Posted on 01/15/2021 by syoho71

Because it can be tough to connect in person these days, we’ve worked out two ways to pay club dues this year:

Make a payment to this PayPal link. (There is a small PayPal fee.) When I receive the payment I will follow up with an email to ask you for your preferred contact information and your shirt size/s.
Snail mail a check, made to Rusty Pooler, to: R. Pooler, 36795 Brian Ave. Windsor, CO 80550. Please include your email, phone number, shirt size(s). Once received, I will email you to confirm receipt.

Dues are $25 for the year, $15 for junior members (18 and under). This gets you this year’s shirt, a club sticker, and a vote on any official club business. On annual shirt order will be placed at the end of April. After that dues will go down to $15 for the year and will include the sticker and the vote without the shirt.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. I will do my best to help work through them with you. – Rusty Pooler

Donuts This Weekend!

BTW: Join us for January Dubs and Donuts at The Donut Haus in Loveland this Sunday, Jan 17 at 10 AM.

Annual Holiday Lights Cruise: Saturday, December 12

Posted on 11/20/2020 by rustybug

This year we will again festoon our vintage VWs with all manner of holiday lights. It’s a good time for all and it puts smiles on so many faces. If you need help with lighting tips, post questions to our facebook page and we’re all glad to help.

As part of our route we are arranging to circle a few more assisted living facilities to help spread additional holiday cheer. We will also include a stop at City Park and run several laps around old town Fort Collins.

We will be partnering with the Larimer County Food Bank for this cruise this year as well, so please bring some non-perishable food items to share. Here are their food donation guidelines. Ed Carroll VW has kindly offered to be a collection site for donations.

We will meet at Ed Carroll (3003 S College S Ave.) around 4:00 pm to start decorating. The curise will begin around 5:30 pm.

Please note that we will be adhering to all CDPHE guidelines for this event. Face coverings are required on site, and anytime you are out of your vehicle. We ask that everyone maintain social distancing. Please do not attend if you are sick, have been in close contact with someone who is sick, or if you are unable to wear a mask for any reason.

Thanks for your help in keeping everyone healthy. We hope to see you there – this year AND next year!

June Cruise on Sunday 6/7/2020

Posted on 06/03/2020 by rustybug

June Cruise

As mentioned previously, we are temporarily suspending in-person meetings. This month, instead of just one more online meeting, we’re taking a cruise.

On Sunday, June 6 will meet at 9 am at the Windsor Taco Johns. Find it at 7605 Royal Vista Circle, near I-25 and Highway 392.

At 9:30 we’ll head east on 392 to Lucerne and likely do something like this:

Turn left on 85 and go north to Nunn
Turn left again on 100 and head west to Wellington
Follow Cleveland Ave (which I think becomes Hwy 1) until 287 in Ft. Collins
Turn left to head south on 287 to the Dairy Queen at 1805 S College. They open for treats at 11 AM.

Save this Date?

At this point we hope to simply postpone our 3rd Annual Mountain Mixer VW Car Show. We’d like to see it happen in September and we’re seeing what we can do to make that happen. Stay tuned.
