SAAC-50 - One for the Ages

[GrabberOrange69]

It was a great show, and very glad I went.  Any idea what the attendance was for SAAC 50?

It's ALL in the First 50 years of SAAC book. You did pick one up at the Cobra Experience event - didn't you? Kopec and Brock were signing them. Mike Shoen was there and he was signing his book that was available in the store.
I was hoping for more from the T shirt. I bought one but it's very boring.

I do have my copy of Rick's book. And agreed on the shirt. (I did start a thread about an anniversary shirt, but no one has any interest.)

I was hoping for a retrospective at dinner, maybe a display of old convention stuff, things like that. So many people have been a part, should have been acknowledged.

Old convention stuff is only t shits, dash plaques, trophies and photos people took. SAAC 1 didn't have any of those things. Kopec made SAAC 1 dash plaques a couple years after the event just so there would be a complete collection. I think the first T shirt was SAAC 5 - which reminds me there was also a belt buckle for that one. I'll see if I can find mine - I don't know if it was an "official" SAAC product or something a member made up to sell. The club wanted nothing to do with the book. Drew Sherb stepped up and published it on his own as written. I think a typical SAAC round table panel would have concentrated on why Kopec left the club not all the accomplishments SAAC made under his 50 year stewardship.

Since the opportunity was missed at the Celebration someone might just want to start a thread where people could post pictures these items for all to see and remember in one thread focused on those official items.

Just a thought

Agreed, but in it's own section, not in any convention forum. I am sure there are plenty of old pictures and stories out there. I have many.

Yes 98SVT, a major distraction which I felt caused SAAC to loose sight of the celebration.

Let's hear suggestions fo the sub-forum name and which section... we'll create it.

HQ would like some of those memories to rebuild the club archives

It might have to be something in the Members Only Lounge.

Great idea. A sub forum of pics and stories would be great

There is an EVENTS section with the conventions There are pages for the last 10 years and a "looking back" page for older ones.
Maybe they could do 5 sections 1 for each decade limited to 10 pages in each section (1 per convention) for people to add stuff to.
There should also be a page for the SAAC Does Vegas events.

there was a thread about all conventions that was lost   i think 2  f ing   times  s that included all of the above mentioned   when we didnt back up the files and everthing was lost

Ron,

In the "SAAC Forum" Forum part, but it's own section, not under looking back.

Call it: "50 Years of SAAC", and it's for all members to post memories and pictures. Covers anything SAAC.

On the SAAC-50 poster I bought with plastic cover over it, the Sonoma is 2025 with two 1991.  FYI
