Hey everybody, Stan Dale, President Florida SunCoast chapter, hope you're doing good. First, uh, first video of the year and here we are, man. We have a ton of things on the, on the, agenda. Really excited about this. Uh, was up in Sarasota this past Saturday for Cars and Coffee at BMW Sarasota. A lot of folks out. It's great to see everybody. Um, literally folks from all up and down the East Coast. So that's a lot of fun always this time of year. See our friends that travel down for this time for the season. Let me jump right into it. We have a lot of things on the calendar. I'll, I'll just hit, uh uh, hit those and then I'll I want to talk about some projects we've got going on behind me. I'll be fast. Um, on the 6th we have, uh, St. Pete/Clearwater, uh, the dinner. On the 10th we have three events: Jacksonville Cafeine & Octane, the Southwood, um, Cars and Coffee up in in Tallahassee and then Lakeland Cars and Coffee. All those are just really taking off. So if you're in that area, can be in that area, jump in there. just really excited about, uh, all these taking off and, uh, a lot of activity at all these, uh at all these, cars and coffees up in that territory. On the 11th we have the Gainesville Cars and Coffee and equally on that day on the south side we have the Naples Cars and Coffee. So, uh, check out the website, uh, get all the details, the locations and all the times and come on out and enjoy the fun fellowship and seeing some cars. Um, this is a message for Meribeth. Meribeth, my commitment for 2026 is I will be at one or more of your events this year. I put that on my calendar. I made a commitment Saturday during a breakfast meeting with some of our folks and so I'm going to hold myself to it. So we'll see you there and and, uh, Keeble and Gary and (all) Al, I'll be in Jacksonville as well. So trying to see that side of the state as well. On the 15th we have the Florida SunCoast and the ZCCA monthly luncheon. That's on a Thursday. And then on the 21st, I'll leave it sort of there. Lunch and Learn. This is sort of exciting, something new for us. John Schneider's put this together. This is a Lunch and Learn with Robert Kirkorion. Uh, it's in North Port. It's at from noon to 2:00 p.m. on the 21st. A Lunch and Learn. It's more of about a health series, uh, a health conversation. Um, and heavens knows, um, if you get to be my age, it's probably a good conversation to have. So looking forward to that. I'm going to try to make that on the 21st. try to work that into my schedule depending on what the travel plans will be. Um, we have three drives on the books already. So, if you go now on the calendar selection, you can see the drives just by the drives. And this is not all of them. This is there's there are some that are in the planning stage that haven't hit that calendar yet. But right now, there are three drives up. Uh, and I'm excited about this one. Chris Schroeder up in the Panhandle is really working on this one. Uh, February the 19th through the through that weekend is the North meets South, uh, drive and that is going to be a blast. I'm telling you Chris has put a ton of, ton of, time in on the planning of that. And then something sort of cool and exciting. Uh, Tony with Dr. ColorChip. We've known Anthony for I don't know eight or 10 years and I probably have 10 or 12 different orders from from Dr. ColorChip where I take care of little rock chips and stuff. In fact, I'll just point to the 550 and just did a color correction on this one and instead of painting repainting the hood, I think I've satisfied myself that, uh, it'll get by at least for another show. Uh, so, uh, Dr. ColorChip going to West Palm Beach on March the 7th, um, to do a color. It's going to and Tony's going to include lunch for us and everything. Uh, it'll be a nice drive over and we've got a surprise return route that, uh, probably most of you haven't experienced and we'll sort of keep that a surprise. But, uh, come on in and join us on March the 7th for the Dr. ColorChip drive over to the West Palm side of the of the country. And then again, uh, October the 7th and I know you go right Stan this is January, why are you talking about October? I'm talking about the October Mountain Drive 5.0 and why am I talking about it? Because it's almost full. So, if you think you might want to go do this, let me encourage you. You might you not you need to get on the bus pretty quick because we're going to close out the attendance on an October drive. So, uh, there you go. If you want to be a part of the any of those drives, go to the drive side and you can see our driving tours coming up. Really excited about that. And I want to put a lots out there to Carol who does a ton of work getting all this stuff in. All of our Area Governors getting all the details in, but Carol getting it loaded up for us...
