Time to get started on the 2025 Calendar. Really!

I am posting this in several places, but we need to start the ball rolling on the 2025 calendar now!! As a general rule, we don't get started on the new calendar until late in the year, which creates quite a strain for Eric and Greg. Greg because he has to hustle fitting editing the photos (no small task!) into all of the end of year/holiday season jobs the rest of us have. Eric because he has to assemble the membership packets, go to the post office during the busiest time of the year and mail out hundreds of packets during a very short time frame.

Both Eric and Greg have said that the calendar is the worst part of their "SAOCA year", entirely due to the last minute nature of the task. Membership Director and Webmaster are the two toughest jobs in the SAOCA. Let's not make them any harder than they have to be and thank Eric and Greg by making next year's calendar go smoothly. I am sure all of us would love to have the calendar on our shop walls on January 1st, so this is a win-win! Please send your Alpine photos to Eric or Greg now! Let's make the 2025 calendar the best and most timely ever!

Dan, it's a great photo and a perfect example of how to get yourself into the calendar.* That said, we would need the original file as this one is too small to be used in the calendar. And in this specific case, I've heard rumors that BringATrailer sends somebody out to take pictures of your car. If that's the case, we'd have to get permission from the original photographer. There are plenty of great calendar-worthy photos on that BAT listing.

*I'd prefer just a little more of the area around the car so that it didn't completely fill the page edge to edge. At a certain point, I have to worry about whether either the headlight or taillight of the car will be cut off when the printer cuts the paper.
