Welcome to our Signal Seeker Spring edition. Many of us will question the term “Spring” after our great Ice Bowl followed by more snow. It took me at least a week of chipping thick ice off a long walkway and a 130’ driveway but I suppose my dormant physical program thanks me. I heard from many of you that got hit and I hope all of you weathered the icy conditions and came out ok! This edition usually comes off slow after the big activity build-up through our Christmas Season of last year. We sure had a great year for 2025 with Judging Events, Pop Ups, beautiful drives through the Southern Neck and Western Maryland to Gettysburg, a super Carlisle time and our Annual Meeting in Fredericksburg. This year promises no less. To add to our social activities, we’re working a request for a Corvette show and shine at a nice Country Club with no cost appetizers and welcome party. More to come. Take a look at our calendar in the back. We no longer have 3 judging events, only 2, but we’ll have more Popups for the convenience of our members.

As a close, despite a great year for 2025, we lost some members. All of us on the board and managers called the members that appeared to be late renewals, and we picked up a dozen or so that forgot. But about 20 left MAC. Since we were in touch, we asked why. At least 4 were moving, 4 disposed of their cars, and several have “aged out” and weren’t active anymore. But since then we’ve picked up several new members. Transition is a natural thing, and we can expect it every year. The key is tracking with the interests of our members. Remember, you can always talk to any member of the board or managers for any questions you have. I answer several emails a month. And if you want to see anything different speak up and let us know. We’re leaning more into socials and we’ll continue that practice. We have suggestions to do IMSA and racing events. Let us know if you’re interested.

Stay tuned and we’ll see you soon!
