Once upon a time in Rochester, N.Y., Gary Voleshen and Chris Nau belonged to an auto club that did not serve what they considered to be their needs (too political / not about cars).As they discussed their ideal situation Gary casually spoke the words that forever changed the local landscape, "WHY DON'T WE FORM OUR OWN CLUB". With this decision they began to assemble other Mopar people who felt the same. In early January, 2004, a group consisting of Gary,Chris, Jack Barry, Jim Acker, Ken Hale, and Pete Buhan met at the Churchville Family Restaurant to decide what we wanted in a club. Taking these ideas Chris Nau wrote an early draft of the club bylaws. In February, 2004, at Chris' home the group met again (Ken Hale was absent, Ron Delvaux, who was involved from the start but missed the first meeting, attended). The bylaws were reviewed and changes were recommended. In early March, 2004, the entire group met at Best Burger (in Irondequoit) for the first official meeting. The bylaws were ratified and officers were elected as follows: President=Chris Nau, Vice President= Gary Voleshen, Vice President= Ken Hale, Secretary= Ron Delvaux Media Manager= Ron Delvaux. Within 4 months the club expanded to be the Rochester areas largest Mopar club giving creedance to the belief that a clubs strength is in its membership and their diversity.
