GHOSTS ON THE COAST - The Annual Winter Fling is coming up next February 2024, and this year it will be held in Newport Beach during Valentines Day. The event is being planned by our fellow West Coast Members, Gary and Sheryl Hunter, and we couldn't be more excited about their ideas for this year's event.

Please take a moment to review the flyer, which includes information about accommodations and events. You can find it attached to this email or on our website. We are confident that the Winter Fling will be a great opportunity to connect with fellow car enthusiasts, and enjoy some of the best sights and sounds that Newport Beach has to offer.
