This Sunday 9/11 there will be a Vanagon GTG from 11ish to 3ish in
South San Francisco at Alta Loma park.This is an annual version of Van O
Rama.
          Technically we all just happen to meet there at the same time, as
we do not have permit. So no Burnouts or other stupid things. If you are
bringing parts to sell, keep them in your van.
          If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

                                   Stacy
