Wanted Dave Rudderow                                   www.ocpanteras.com

October 2007

Vote  Dave Rudderow is running for POCA President to continue the club’s forward momentum initiated by John Taphorn.  Like John, Dave urges us all to help each member to get his/her car on the road.  He encouraged me to establish tech sessions for TPOC members.  His efforts go well beyond the role of just cheerleader.  Dave does all scheduling and staffing including gathering tech support expertise.  Garnering new members too is on his priority list.  This seasoned owner loves and drives an immaculate Concourse first place winner that attracts the public to stop and talk.  Note that he displays our TPOC banner at every show to peak the interest of the automotive enthusiast in our marque.  Both his TPOC business card and POCA pamphlet are always at hand for prospects. 

As a successful businessman, his understanding of marketing is key.  Constant pursuit of the customer occurs naturally.  Adapting to changing environment and client needs is essential to success.  In our chapter, he promotes hosting and participation by each member.  He willingly supports new ideas and events to explore member’s broadening interest.  Creativity drives his designs to appeal to everyone as the times change.  And finally, he brought the best word in the dictionary to the club…FUN.  Growth in our Chapter is the result.

Dave plans to set multiyear objectives with the Board.  Enlist project leaders to establish clearly defined goals and get teams of volunteers to achieve each milestone.  And, he promises to give you frequent reports on the progress from each project team.

He asks both you and your associate to vote for him.  And, I, Rod Kunishige, urge you to support him.

New Mtg Place was outstanding. A broad menu is offered at Bella Marri’s in Anaheim. Ask any of the 24 attendees.  If you have a place you want to offer, contact Dave Rudderow (714 969-1301).
