A word of thanks to a few of our members! 
On behalf of the ACFL we would like to express our appreciation to Brian F., Jeff P., and Joe C. who in conjunction with their ACNA renewal added a little extra for the chapter. As I believe most know, the ACFL does not receive any direct financial support from the members’ dues paid to the ACNA. Your additional funds included with your membership renewals help defray chapter expenses. 

Once again, thank you, 
Cheers and Safe Motoring 
Bob Greving and the ACFL Board of Directors

Have a picture of your car or some Audi-related news of your own you'd like to share? Send your photo to Walter Moore walter@audiclubfl.org. 

If you have a special Audi such as one of the S or RS models or a pre 2000 that you would like to sell, we will list it once in the newsletter. I will need the year, model, color over interior color, and your email address. Longer and non-member postings can be placed in the website. We will also list DKW, NSU, and Wanderer motorcycles. If you are looking for a particular car, once again S, RS or pre 2000 model plus a bike, we will also try to accommodate you here. 

For Example: Wanted: Wanderer or DKW motorcycle of motorbike pre 1950 walter@audiclubfl.org

Final Words..

Welcome to our new ACNA members. Our membership numbers continue to grow; we are now well over 270 members, which mean additional critical mass in different regions of the state and hopefully more events and greater participation. Those of you who are new to the ACNA will receive an on boarding note from David Loppert. If you have any questions feel free to drop a line to David. If you have not had a chance yet check out both the ACNA website, and the Audi Club of Florida website. There is a great deal of good information plus some excellent photos of member’s cars. 

And.. thank you to our sponsors!
