Thank You
All these members of the Board of Directors contribute freely of their time, energy and knowledge with no compensation other than the satisfaction of bringing this fine event to the community of Chico.
A Very Special Thank You
Our association with California State University, Chico was an excellent one. However, out of concern for the health of the aging trees on campus due to soil compaction and cars driving on the lawn during the Concours, it was agreed that we should look for another venue that would be beneficial to all. Thank you Chico State, for many years of cooperation, assistance and good times. All were deeply appreciated.
In Memoriam: Dave Chamberlain 1933-2008
We were all saddened by the loss of Dave Chamberlain on February 21, 2008. Dave, who fought bone cancer for several years, was a passionate director, a tireless worker and a true lover of automobiles, especially vintage race cars. He is deeply missed.
