A Letter from the President…

Welcome to the newsletter for November 2025, Felis Onca.

First I would like to offer the Jaguar club’s condolences to the family of Gary Buxton. Gary was a very cool guy, very kind, and had some very nice Jaguars.  We who were blessed to spend time with him and Diane, and see his magnificent cars, will all miss him and his passion for adventure.  See his obituary in the Club News section.

Our year culminated in a fantastic trip to the Las Vegas Concours D’Elegance around Halloween.  See some great photos of the many amazing cars we shared the field with.  I also have some post event impressions which I would like to share on the following pages.

As we approach the end of 2025 we look forward to an amazing 2026.  A couple things we need from YOU to make it a success:

-         TIME TO RENEW YOUR DUES!!  Dues will remain $80 for 2026.  We continue to 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 2026. Nominations have now opened. Please submit nominees and names for the following illustrious offices:

o   President

o   Vice President

o   Treasurer

o   Secretary

Please submit within the next 2 weeks so we can open the vote and have our officers in place for the new year.  Email inlandempirejaguarclub@hotmail.com  to vote.

Very important announcement for IEJC members:  at the AGM this year our club has submitted a proposal to host the International Jaguar Festival to be held in Central CA in 2026.  You can see the proposal details in the club section of this newsletter. This is a great honor and responsibility and a chance to really put our club on the JCNA map after almost 20 years. Please consider volunteering your ideas and time to help make this the best IJF ever!

Turning our attention to this month, we have a club event planned for next weekend in Palm Springs at the fabulous McCormick’s auction.  See details in this month’s edition.
