By now, some of you know that Shell V-Power has stepped up to serve as title sponsor for MarqueMadness. We can’t think of a better partner, or a better product to co-promote to club members who love their cars. Shell has made available to our committee V-Power gift cards, and we'll be putting these to good use as incentives for early registrations. V-Power is now the number one selling premium unleaded fuel in the country. If you or your members would like more information on V-Power, go to
www.MarqueMadness.com and click on sponsors, then title sponsor and you can link to the V-Power site with lots of information on this new formulation gasoline.
Next - Embassy Suites in Seaside, CA has signed on as the official home of MarqueMadness. Not only are they holding rooms at a good discount, but they will host our Leadership Forum in their conference center on April 29. Also, our MonteMadness rallye, mastered by Bill Jonesi of The Rallye Club, will launch from the Embassy parking lot on Friday the 29th at 9:00AM. (Those who want to do the rallye AND attend the Leadership Forum should be early so they return in time). As there is a service club convention in Monterey the same weekend as MarqueMadness, it will be wise to make plans early. If you'd like to stay at the Embassy, dial 800-EMBASSY and ask for the MarqueMadness room rate under the code "MAD." Thought that was appropriate!
Last: We’d like to thank the Clubs who have committed to participate in MarqueMadness and are now helping to shape its future:
Z Owners of Northern California
Porsche Club of America - Zone 7
Bay Area Cobra Club
NorCal Viper Club of America
Prowler Owner’s Association
BMW Car Club of America - Golden Gate and Sacramento Valley Chapters
The Audi Club - Golden Gate Region
The Ferrari Club of America - Pacific Region
Bay Area Miata Club (BAMA)
There is already a "Team MarqueMadness" of club enthusiasts that is helping build and direct this new concept in marque club events. If your club is still considering stepping up, we encourage you to speak with Terry, Jim, Robin or David with any questions you may have. This is a fresh new idea for your club and its members to expand their horizons - and it should be a huge benefit for your membership development and retention. Come join us, there is still plenty of time!
Best Regards,
The MarqueMadness Team
