RSVPs from past and present members are flooding in and it looks like the SAMOA 40th Anniversary Reunion picnic is going to be a HUGE event.
For any organization to survive for 40 years is a remarkable achivement. Even more so considering the crazed bunch of motoring fanatics that have made up SAMOA through the years. This is the chance to celebrate!
If you haven't emailed your rsvp (positive or negative) please do so now. We've got lots of goodies to get for the picnic and want to make sure there's plenty for everyone. Simply email your rsvp to qwickmini@gmail.com.
Looking forward to seeing you there. Don't miss it!

Regalia Meister, eat your heart out!
Times were simpler when SAMOA was formed. If you wanted some club shirts printed you didn’t shop online for a printer, you went out and bought some silk. Then you stretched the silk over a wood frame. Then with an xacto you cut a design into some film and melted it onto the silk with lacquer thinner and yelled upstairs to your parents that the smell coming from the basement would be going away any minute now. Then you opened a can of some incredibly smelly oil-based ink and started squeegeeing some shirts hollering again that the smell should be going away real soon. It didn’t, of course, because it took hours for the ink to dry but the result was the first generation of SAMOA t-shirts, one of which you see here. How many of these shirts will appear at the 40th reunion in August? More to the point, how many still can be fit into?! I’ll bring mine. For display purposes only. - Ed
