Hello fellow Reno SCCA members,

Congrats to all who contributed to helping Reno Region win the three following prestigious awards at Nationals!

From Dave Deborde:

Reno Region Wins Big At The SCCA National Convention

Reno Region won three prestigious awards at the National Convention. First, we won first place and $750 for our Subaru WRX Membership program for medium sized regions. The Reno program is essentially a club within a club, in our case the Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierra's, which will become the template for other regions across the country. Congratulations to Debbie and all the Subaru Enthusiasts.

Next, we won the contest for the best retention rate. Reno Region retained 57% of Subaru WRX members compared with 8% nationwide. The 57% retention, by far the highest of any region, earned the region the use of a brand spanking new Subaru WRX for one year.

Finally, we were honored to win the award for the BEST DIVISIONAL SOLO2 IN 2003.

A great big thank you to all the members that worked so hard all year to make this happen.

Way to go SECCS!
