A Letter from the President…

As we wind down 2024 want to start by passing along some key reminders:

-         Services for Chuck Leuthen are still pending, but most likely in January.  Keep Kathy in your thoughts during the holidays.

-         TIME TO RENEW YOUR DUES!!  JCNA has mandated a $10 increase in membership dues for 2025.  In the interest of fairness to our IEJC members we will NOT be raising your dues to compensate for this increase.  Your dues will remain $80 for 2025.  Instead we will do our best to control costs and maximize value for you with the intent that we can capture this revenue loss through the volunteer and participation elements of our fine members.

-         It is also time to elect new board members for 2025.  Nominations are now open, so please submit for all 4 following positions:

o   President

o   Vice President

o   Treasurer

o   Secretary

Voting will occur with next month’s newsletter in December.

Great to see those of you who attended the Cal Clubs event in Monterrey a couple weeks ago.  The I-Pace made the trip and stopping to charge was a minimal nuisance as I am learning to take breaks during road trips anyways.  See some great photos from the event in this edition.

As we wind down 2024 here are some remaining events upcoming:

-         December 14th - Cruise at The Beach – Redondo Beach CA (see info below)

-         Feb 2025 – Dr. George Car Show – Palm Springs(see info below)

Please note the creation of our NEW IEJC website! https://iejc.mailchimpsites.com

Now you can quickly catch up on the latest news, renew your membership, and see back issues of Felis Onca dating back to the beginning of time!

Here is a summary of this month’s newsletter: 

·        We have a date for the unveiling of the Jaguar Vision concept car – see an article which describes the event and what we should see

·        See an official press release on appointments made within JLR to help facilitate the reimagine campaign for Jaguar

·        As we end 2024 see a great treatment detailing all the vehicles being discontinued – interestingly most ifnot all are bowing out to electrics….

·        See a very good condition Jaguar V12 engine for sale – these will be getting rarer over the years but check it out to remind you what was so special about these power plants.
