Volume 4 Issue 2 —— NEWS UPDATE —— MARCH 2012 Sun Shines on 2012 AGM/Western States Meet By Candy Williams Publicity Chair The weather couldn’t have been better March 9 -14 for the 2012 AGM/Western States Meet. But considering the combined events were held in Phoenix, AZ, who would expect anything less? A busy six days was filled with meetings, awards presentations, Jaguar events, side trips and a golf tournament. The Jaguar Club of Central Arizona couldn’t have packed much more into the late winter agenda. Even those of us who couldn’t round up enough vacation days from work to experience the whole package had a pleasant getaway in the Arizona desert. We were able to make it into town in time to participate in the Western Roundup Dinner Friday night at Rawhide, a Western Town and Steakhouse at Wild Horse Pass. A sundown cookout and stage show complete with cowboys and gunfire followed dinner at this throwback to an 1880s Western town. Carolyn and Dennis Eynon were perfect hosts, decked out in their Western garb. One of the guests included veteran Jaguar test driver and JCNA friend Norman Dewis, who has been a part of four AGMs with the addition of this one. Although he’s a Brit, Norman is a big fan of the Wild West and looked right in style with his Western gear. He is truly the ultimate gentleman and a really fun guy! Norman also was a big attraction at Sunday’s Western States Concours. Look for more AGM coverage in your MarchApril Jaguar Journal. You can find results of the AGM business meeting at jcna.com. Make plans to attend the 2013 edition of the JCNA AGM in Mexico City. The event is being planned by the Jaguar Club of Mexico and should be another great event. Details soon!
