President’s Message
Happy New Year !! I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Holliday Season, I wish you all the best in the new year ahead. I look forward to continue working with the Board of Directors and all of you to continue to grow our club and protect our hobby.
In November, we partnered with GoodGuys to help promote their events, I want thank them for supporting us by placing an ad in our Newsletter. They also gave the AAHC a free booth at the November event and we proudly displayed our new AAHC tent for the first time. I want to thank all those who volunteered to man the tent for their 3 hour shift, I hope they enjoyed their free ticket exploring all the other vendors and the beautiful cars. I hope to find more opportunities like this to increase the visibility of our club and give our members opportunities volunteer and have fun at the same time. We had 6 individuals become new members and talked to hundreds of prospective members of clubs not affiliated with the AAHC. I am very optimistic that some new clubs that we spoke to will be joining us very soon.
We are working on creating a new E-mail tree that will allow us to contact all clubs and their members. We will be sending out 2 types of email, first is an info only email and the second type will require some kind of action. These emails will be sent to Club presidents and individuals , club presidents will forward the email to all members of their respective clubs. The AAHC has accomplished some great goals that could only have been achieved by a show unity and strength in numbers. This is why this Email tree is a critical asset to our organization and I hope everyone will embrace it and participate when called to action.
Your President,
Steve Wingenfeld

History
Our organization was formed in 1973 to combat and support, good and bad legislation. We have proudly served the HOBBYIST of Arizona for over three decades and have been very effective in beating back the constant, year after year, threats that could severely injure our HOBBY or completely destroy it. We have been on the job as your watchdog for our HOBBY ,to take on the challenges of, scrappage proposals, new vehicular taxes, aggressive zoning laws, anti-cruising efforts and many other issues that would harm our HOBBY.
Our organization has a great history of clout, purely due to numbers. If we have 100 member clubs, out of the 221 clubs in AZ, with an average membership of 50 members, that is a base of 5,000 people. With an average of 2.3 voters per household that is 11,500 who can influence 3 people each, we now have clout of 34,500 persons to vote on issues or candidates that effect our HOBBY. When you consider that some local and state elections have been won by 10 votes or less, not to mention the last presidential election, we have a tremendous amount of clout. This is why it is so important for every car club to join the AAHC! If all 221 car clubs in AZ joined the AAHC we would have the clout of 76,245. It’s almost scary when you sit back and look at the possibilities those numbers could have an effect on. PLEASE JOIN NOW!!!
We are requesting for your club to join the AAHC now and be a part of our clout. We hope to see you at our meeting first Monday of each month meeting as a new or renewed club member. The dues are $15 for individual members, $30 for small clubs (under 30 members) and $40 for large clubs (30 or more members). Please print the application form and send with your check today. 2010 dues form
