Due to COVID-19 Restrictions, we have to reschedule the February 13th Car Show

The Steering Committee is working hard to secure an alternate date in the spring. We are communicating with the Indian Wells Tennis Garden to finalize a date and will announce it as soon as it is confirmed.

Stay Tuned.

Thank all of you for your early registration. For those of you who have requested a refund if the show is cancelled, we will provide information on the cancellation and refund process as soon as we confirm an alternate date. We should have that information within a week or so. Thank you for your patience as we work out these details.

As you can imagine, we disappointed by this postponement, but understand that everyone’s health and safety comes first. We are looking forward to scheduling the show. Our priority is to stage the best and safest car show in the region. Thank you for your support.

Numerous club members met in the Ralph’s Parking lot in Indian Wells to collect toy, food and monetary donations for the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission. A caravan of twenty vehicles cruised to the CVRM facility in Indio to drop off the donations.

As anyone who has worked in the Club trailer would know, it has been many years since it was cleaned out and rearranged. Thanks to Diana and Bill Finnegan, Angel Hernandez, George Dray, Erik & Belva Baltzar, Ross McMullin and Craig Korthase, that job was finally accomplished in the air conditioned comfort of Dave and Sunny Hancock’s shop at GarageTown. All of the boxes were removed and the inside was completely vacuumed. After a thorough inspection and inventory, necessary supplies and equipment were reloaded and labeled. Several broken and/or unnecessary items were chucked or set out for donation to a charity. We now have lots of space and clean equipment. Some new tables will be purchased before the season begins to replace the broken ones. We think it will be much easier to find what you are looking for and know that it is much cleaner and better organized now. Thanks to the team that worked hard to accomplish all of this. Great Job!!

On Father’s Day some of our club members arranged a drive-by car show for the residents of Atria Assisted Living in Palm Desert.

The Annual Dr. George Charity Car Show took place on February 8, 2020 under sunny skies, our biggest and best attended show ever. Over 1000 vehicles were on display and several thousand spectators showed up to check out the cool rides.

As a result of the show, we were very happy to present the Desert Cancer Foundation with a gift of $120,000! This means there will be over $1 million dollars in new cancer care available to our neighbors and friends in the Desert!
