From Alex Mendoza

RCPTCC - Coordinator

This will be
 the first time
that our club hasincluded classic

cars and hopefully this year we
will continue to grow as a car
club and prosperin many ways

so that we as a car club will be

able to entertain 
all who visit us
during our Meet & Greet Events.

This past month we saw

many new faces  here at Rancho
and of course many friends too,

but as every coordinator knows,

it is a good feeling when you

have so many car  buffs come to
any event that is 
scheduled.

The appreciation for all

those that come to our Meet &

Greet and to all who are
commenting about  the club and
the club members  and what we

do through-out the year is very
much welcomed. I do hope that
when you come  here to RCPTCC

you will find yourself having a

good time always. 
