Invite to region for a Tesla Motors Test Ride and Drive Event(s)
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2016 7:46 am
Here's a copy of an email I sent to the board and a few other particularly active members Tuesday prior to the board meeting. Oh, and it's already been pointed out that I wrote "SW Springfield" when I meant "SE Springfield". Ugh.

A friend of mine, Dr. Evan Fusco (director of emergency medicine at Mercy) is a Tesla owner and fan. He's been approached by Tesla to host (in conjunction with O'Reilly's) a test ride event 8/30 and a separate test drive event on 8/31. Tesla is providing the cars. The events will be at the Hilton Garden Inn in SW Springfield Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. O'Reilly is lining up media coverage. It struck me as not only interesting, but possibly a good demographic fit with our club. I told Evan I'd see what I could come up with as far as volunteers from OMR to assist with logistics and hospitality on Tuesday night. Wednesday is expected to be a much smaller event and they figure they are not going to need additional help then. I anticipate that we can wear OMR SCCA shirts and maybe have a small banner display and club literature available. Talking to Matt the other night, I think I got him to tentatively agree to help. I'll of course be there. I figure I only need another 2 to 4 club members to properly represent us there and provide the support they need for the event. So, do I have permission to represent the region in this way? and if so, who's in?
Here's a link to the Tuesday night event:

This is kind of an unofficial OMR thing. A few of us are going to be representing the region while providing assistance to somebody doing car related stuff outside of the club. Besides being a nice thing to do, it provides a little exposure of the club to some potentially like minded individuals.
I've already got plenty of volunteers to work Tuesday night, but Evan asked me to extend invites to the entire region's membership, so you're all welcome to attend. The Wednesday morning test drive event is quite limited, though (only so many cars and limited time) so they're asking for serious potential buyers only for that day's event. Anyhow, I expect this to be a good and interesting group, and for it to be a mutually beneficial gathering. Consider yourselves invited.
