Italspeed Open House/AROSC Meeting - Nov. 14th - Los Angeles

From the October AROSC newsletter:

November Meeting: Saturday - 14th, 1PM

Elections, White Turkey Sale, and Tour of Dirk Stoehr’s Collection

Here Ye, Here Ye: ELECTIONS!!! As said many times before, attendance at this meeting is the surest way to avoid being nominated from the floor and elected to the Board of Directors. You do not have to be present to be elected, but if elected “you will serve”. Actually the BoD is not a bad job. You get to have dinner out with some friends once a month and you get to be the volunteer selector as opposed to being the volunteer.

NOVEMBER 14th, 1PM to 4PM – The Saturday that could change your life. (not just because of the snacks and beverages) We will have a General Meeting at Italspeed: 3101 S Main St. (the intersection of S. Main and 31st St., 90007, in downtown Los Angeles, the new home of Dirk Stoehr’s eclectic collection of Alfa Romeos and etceterini. This location is about 5 blocks east of the Harbor Fwy (I-110) between Jefferson and Adams, or about 3/4 mile south of the Santa Monica Fwy (I-10). This is one of the friendliest venues we attend. Don’t believe me, just checkout all the prior kudos on the AlfaBB. Dirk is an outstanding and generous host with an automobile and memorabilia collection as outgoing as his personality.

There is ample street parking in the area.

In addition to browsing Dirk’s collection, the other reason for attending this meeting is the Annual White Turkey sale/auction. Clean out the garage. This is an opportunity to load or unload your garage of stuff you reeeaaallly need. If Charlie Schwartz shows up to act as auctioneer, with a dash of wit and wisdom, everything will sell.

Generaly, you need to be a sincere Alfa enthusiast to attend one of these deals. Your level of enthusiasm will be checked at the door.
If after a few minutes of looking at Dirk's place we don't detect a noticible rise in your heart rate you will be asked to leave and for you to consult your cardiologist or next of kin.

The Auction is fun only if we/you bring some interesting items to auction off.
I am bringing 1 odd 13" BWA Fiat/Alfetta wheel, and that set of SPICA velocity stacks I bought last year.
We attempt to sell everything that is brought in. Bent valves were sold as "potential artwork". The club keeps a little of the selling price.
You don't have to be a member to participate - selling or buying.
See you there.
