CONGRATULATIONS TO THE COVVC ON OUR 23ND ANNIVERSARY!

The COVVC celebrated its 23nd Anniversary at our April meeting.  We were privileged to have three of our founding members present for the festivities:  Ted Cheney, Stark Hughes and Mark Garrett.


ABOUT THE COVVC



Our club was originally founded by a group of twelve enthusiasts in the spring of 1991.  These like-minded individuals were looking for a way to pool their parts and resources as a way to maintain their vintage VW cars.  The COVVC was born! 
Now in our 17th year as a premiere Vintage VW club based in Columbus, Ohio, we welcome everyone interested in both air-cooled classic VW's as well as newer water-cooled VW products.  Our membership spans many states from California to the East Coast, totaling over 200 members strong.  We are the sponsors of the COVVC Volksfest held each August in the Columbus area.  Come see what all the fun is about!
 

OUR MISSION
To have fun!  To boldly go where Vintage VW's are welcome (i.e. anywhere!) while spreading a spirit of camaraderie with fellow vintage automobile enthusiasts.  Nearly everyone has a VW story to tell, and that thread binds all of us together.
 

QUICK VIEW OF OUR CLUB
Literally hundreds of VW families fill our ranks.  Our club is full of people from all walks of life, incomes, and age groups.  From doctors and dentists to students we all "got the bug" somewhere along the line.  If you've been bitten please join us!  You do not have to own a VW to join--just a passion for these way cool cars.

Our monthly meetings are always on the second Thursday of the month at 7:30PM.  Check out our Calendar link for meeting locations and upcoming events!

Our Volksfest vintage car show draws over 3000 spectators and over 300 show cars each year - and it keeps growing!  Part of our annual proceeds from the Volksfest show goes to Kids 'n Kamp - we're giving back to the community that supports us.

Our newsletter, Zündfolge, is published monthly, full of member articles and pictures. It's simply one of the nicest enthusiast newsletters out there and something we're very proud of.  It's a monthly tribute to our strong club and its members.
 

CONTACT INFORMATION
A key core group of members keeps our club running.  A completely volunteer effort on their part, these dedicated individuals make it happen.  We're always looking for new members, and we welcome new volunteers to keep our club strong.  Feel free to contact us today!
