It’s official, we are the Audi Club of Georgia

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Two weeks ago, we announced that our club was attempting to undergo a name change. Well, now the voting is closed and the results are in: 100% of the votes submitted by our members were ‘YES’.

What does this mean? It means that we are officially the Audi Club of Georgia (a.k.a. Audi Club North America, Georgia Chapter). It also means that people looking in to joining our club will no longer be confused by our name (many people thought that we only represented Cherokee County, Georgia).

It is our sincere hope that this change will bring about increased membership and improve the quantity and quality of our events. We will still continue to host events throughout the southeast, and members of neighboring chapters are still welcome to attend our meetings, HPDE’s, scenic drives and social events.

Stay tuned as we update our website content. From now on, you can find us on the web at: http://www.audiclubga.com
We will also be holding a contest to see who can come up with the best logo for the club!

Chapter members can contact us to request a full break-down of the voting results. Our privacy policy does not permit us to member names or contact information publicly.

Important update from your Audi Club

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Since it’s founding, the Cherokee Audi Club has represented ACNA members across the state of Georgia. While our members understand this, many non-members do not, leading them to believe that we only represent a portion of the state, or even just Cherokee County. Last month, the Audi Club North America, Cherokee Chapter Board of Directors decided to address this issue. After hours of discussion, they unanimously voted to change our name to “Audi Club North America, Georgia Chapter”, operating as “Audi Club of Georgia”. Last Monday, the ACNA National Board of Directors approved this change, leaving one final, but very important, step: approval from the chapter members.

If you are a current member, we need to hear from you!
Please send an email to: vote@cherokeeaudiclub.com and tell us: Yes or No to the name change and your member number.
Your member number is located on your membership card and on the back side of the cover of each Quattro Quarterly magazine. If you have an idea for an event or a suggestion for the club in general, please feel free to send us your feedback at any time!

Deadline for voting is June 23rd.
