Carousel of Happiness. Don’t delay Joy!

As the VMCCA gets into full swing for the 2026 touring year, I get more and more excited about its future. My previous messages have included themes like “Getting Louder” and “The Carousel of Happiness.” Don’t delay the joy!

The future of the VMCCA can be as bright as we want to make it. There is new energy coming to the Board of Governors in the form of new Officers and new Region Directors. I believe in the strength of local chapters and know that chapter presidents and their tour committees keep their members engaged.

Many of you have made positive comments about the appearance and content of The Bulb Horn magazine. It is one of the best vintage car enthusiasts’ publications! I hope you are sharing it with other enthusiasts as part of an on-going membership growth campaign. On many occasions we have used the analogue of “If each member brought in one new member, we would double in membership in a year.” That is unrealistic, but we can grow by making our club more visible and sharing our publications.

The future is looking bright; we can make it as bright as we want! Jump on the Carousel of Happiness, don’t delay the joy!
