CRUISE-IN to THE SIDEKICK DINER

Sunday, July 19
It's summertime and that means drive-that-VW time! The MVVC July event, currently in the works, will be a driving event meant to get the oil flowing in your vintage Volkswagen. The Sidekick Cafe Diner, located just beyond Michigan's Irish Hills region, has invited the MVVC to cruise on out and in for a day of fun and VW fellowship. The 50's/60's-themed diner offers great diner food as well as ice cream and this cruise-in makes a great way to give your VW some exercise, tour the southern Michigan countryside and hang out with other vintage VW enthusiasts.

Details are being worked out as you read this and will be issued shortly, including the time of the cruise-in, meeting location/time and route (back roads, of course) for those wishing to caravan out to the diner, and more on the diner itself. Stay tuned to your e-mail and save the date!

July 19th
Reslife Church in grandville.
Its Sunday July 12th. Cost is 10 bucks, but it goes to

"Proceeds from this event will help make Power House inner city kids ministry possible. Power House gives children in the inner city the opportunity to respond to Christ, reach their destiny and radically impact their world."
