Alfisti, 

I want to thank everyone who made it out to our recent events.  The David Markel collection was, as always, a treat.  Thanks Steve for organizing!  Our Winter Lunch was a warm way to kick off those winter blues.  Thanks to all who braved the salty roads and brought out their Alfas.  And special thanks to Ellen Torpey and Bill Conway for organizing and hosting.  It really was a special event.

Looking forward, you’ve got the next few weeks to give your Alfa some love.  It’s a great time to clean it up and do some maintenance in anticipation of the driving season.  But come mid-April, there are plenty of events to keep you busy.  Here they are:

Alfa Romeo of Willow Grove Cars & Coffee

Chris Bertelo (DVAROC) and Mark Lenny (Faulkner) have put together a really special event at the Alfa Romeo dealer in Willow Grove.  This looks like a good one, so make sure to get it on your calendar.

Treasured Motor Cars Open House

Treasured Motor Cars has been maintaining and restoring cars for over 40 years.  They’ve invited us to their open house in April.  I hope you can stop by

Wheels of Wayne Car Show

Start your car show season with the Wheels of Wayne car show.  It takes place in downtown Wayne where you can show your car and stroll the town.

And now, a few notes:

You might notice a DVAROC tradition missing from this year’s events calendar.  Well, Vince and Ruth have decided to retire after many, many years of service to the local Alfa Romeo community.  We wish them a long, well-deserved retirement and thank them for all the great hospitality and help they’ve given to us!

It is with sadness that I note the passing of long time DVAROC member, Dan Diefenderfer.  Dan was a smart, entertaining Alfa (and Porsche) owner who joined us for many events over the years.  We’ll miss him.

Be on the lookout for updates in the future.  May will be a very busy month and before you know it, it will be top-down summer cruising weather!
Ciao,
