Volunteers (and Drivers) Wanted

We’re looking for volunteers to plan activities that have been hits in the past -- the antique tour, Wheels & Wings and the post-show picnic, and the high tea, for example – or do something that hasn’t been done before -- a spring kick off drive, a garage tour, a garden tour, a progressive dinner, an autojumble, a gathering at Back to the ‘50s.

If you are interested in being a host, contact our Events Coordinator at events@mntriumphs.org. We have plenty of open dates for indoor winter activities and outdoor driving season events.

Driving Events - Antique Tour Drive, Mystery Drive, Queen Mum's Birthday Drive, Summer Picnic Drive, Fall Color Tour, Before the Club Meeting Drive, Dinner Drives or any driving event you want.

Parties - Summer Picnics, High Tea, Christmas, Midwinter or any other time that suits your fancy.

Tech Sessions - Every 3rd Saturday of the month from January to October a volunteer is needed to host a tech session.

For more information contact our Events Coordinator at events@mntriumphs.org.
