Several weeks ago, we hosted our annual car show. It was one of the best shows in our club’s history, and thanks to our amazing members, sponsors, vendors, and attendees, we were once again able to raise money for Joshua’s Camp.

On Tuesday, July 14, we proudly presented a check for $5,500 to Joshua’s Camp! ❤️

This incredible donation was made possible through our silent auction, Joshua’s Camp store, individual cash donations, and the generosity of so many people in our VW community.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated items, contributed financially, volunteered their time, and supported this cause. Your generosity helps make a real difference for the families served by Joshua’s Camp. 💙

🏆 CVVC Kids’ Choice Award Winner Spotlight! 🏆

One of the highlights of last weekend’s CVVC Show was seeing the kids cast their votes for their favorite vehicle—and they made a great choice!

Congratulations to Bhat and Robyn (Rochelle) Levant on taking home the Kids’ Choice Award with their incredible 1971 Bhat Trike. The unique Batman-themed ride was a huge hit with attendees of all ages and definitely caught the attention of our youngest judges!

We’re also excited to welcome Bhat and Robyn as one of our newest CVVC member couples. We’re glad to have them as part of the club and look forward to seeing more of this amazing trike at future events.

Please join us in congratulating them on their award! 🦇🏆🚲💛🖤
