July 10, 2011 - NJ Z Car Club Meeting

We will have our next Z meeting at the Green Knoll Grille on Sunday, July 10th at 12 noon (645 Rt 202/206, Bridgewater, NJ 08807). The meeting is open to members and "not yet" members alike, and is a also a great time to join. So far, the agenda is:

• Talk Z's in the lot among friends.
  
• Grab lunch at the Green Knoll Grille
  
• Review the calendar for the rest of the year, and set future meeting dates (with the goal of not conflicting with holidays and other car shows).
  
• Brainstorm other activities -- this could be a great opportunity for our South and North Jersey members to suggest North and South based activities (like Diego's Harriman Park Photo Shoot (see images linked near the bottom of the post http://njzclub.proforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=140)). Come out in force, and let's set something up!
  
• Getting the word out -- Ideas to let other Z enthusiasts know they are welcome to join us (flyers we can slip under windshield wiper blades, leave on our own cars at shows, etc.)
  
• New Members - As you know, you are entitled to a NJ Z Car Club tee shirt. Peter will have them at the meeting.
  
• Talk Z's in the lot as we depart...

Note that this meeting overlaps the last day of the Z Car Club of Rochester "4th Annual Jonathan Krenzer Memorial All Import Car Show." That is a great show contributing to fantastic causes, so if you were thinking of going to it -- please do! For more information see http://www.zccr.net/
