JULY 25 - 27 2002 -- KENOSHA
****************************************************************************
2002 AMC's Rambling to Kenosha in 2002!

Or Bust!!!

AMC:  100th Anniversary of Thomas B. Jeffrey Co.'s Rambler.  This meet is sponsored by the city and county of Kenosha, WI, not by the clubs -- so ALL of the clubs are welcome.

Let's work hard to make this an ALL-AMC-Family Club meet.

AMO -- American Motors Owners Association
AMCRC -- AMC Rambler Club
AMCPC -- AMC Pacer Club
AMCWC -- AMC World Clubs (joint club with CACI, the Classic AMX Club, International)
NCCA -- Nash Car Club of America
MOCNA -- Metropolitan Owners Club

The above clubs have now confirmed this date as their National meet for 2002.  100th anniversary of the first company in the AMC family: Thos. B. Jefferey & Co.'s conversion of a bicycle plant to auto production in Kenosha in 1902.

RAMBLER		METROPOLITAN
JEFFERY		58-88 AMC
NASH			55-57 HUDSON
AJAX			70-88 JEEP
NASH HEALY		83-87 ALLIANCE/ENCORE

If you have any suggestions, complaints, offers of help, etc., about the 2002 meet, please contact your club officers by mail, phone or e-mail.

Those of you with contacts in the clubs not already committed (Nash-Healey Car Club, etc) please contact your leaders and convince them to make their NATIONALS (not just one of many regionals!!) in Kenosha in 2002!  Let's call this our National Unity Meet!

I think it's way past time for a 1,500 +++ car AMC family meet, don't you? There certainly was room to spare on that field in '98!

2002 AMC'S TO KENOSHA 2002!

There's a caveat to all of this, you know.  Studebaker meets are sometimes larger than ours, and S-P produced fewer vehicles than the Kenosha boys -- if we can put aside the hotheadedness and get everyone onto one showfield, it makes it more likely the city of Kenosha and the state of Wisconsin will open their doors for us more in the future.  There's no place like home -- it's not like Luchenbach, TX has any stake in preserving AMC history!!

We should aim to get 2002 cars to Kenosha -- because with those kinds of numbers, Kenosha will work harder to 1) find donors for the AMC museum; and 2) put out the welcome mat in another three years or so after 2002 -- hopefully every 3 years thereafter.  But we need to make an effort to get ALL of the clubs together there in 2002!
