Quattro de Mayo 2011

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Hello friends!

Spring is here, though I haven’t actually seen it. Nevertheless, that means that Quattro de Mayo 2011 is right around the corner; May 5th through the 8th! This year, we are headquartered out of the beautiful Brasstown Valley Resort in Hiawassee, Georgia, near Lake Chatuge.

I want to take a moment to personally invite you to this event. While the roads and the cars are, of course, an important part of the event, it’s the people that make Quattro de Mayo so great. Every year, we try our hardest to create a mix of exhilarating driving and social interaction, and this year is no exception.

This year, our schedule consists of 8 routes to choose from:

  • A Scavenger Hunt Thursday evening (earn raffle tickets)
  • Three routes to choose from Friday morning
  • A drive to Helen Friday evening (bratwurst and karting!)
  • And three routes to choose from Saturday morning

We’ve also found over a dozen local, non-driving activites, and will be hosting a banquet, with raffle, Saturday evening.

When you register for Quattro de Mayo 2011, you’ll receive a t-shirt, keychain, sticker, and dinner at the Saturday evening banquet. Can’t make it all four days? No problem.

Want to see what these events are all about? Check out our galleries from 2010, 2009 and 2008!

So, what are you waiting for? Register today!

President, Audi Club of Georgia

Karting pictures and video are now up in the Audi Club Gallery

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

Audi Club goes KartingLast Saturday, the Audi Club went Karting at a private track in Gainesville. We had access to the track for 4 full hours, and members could come and go as they pleased with no time limit. It was a LOT of fun!
Not only did the facility have 2 tracks, but it also had a collection of retired and active race cars.

Although this was a free event for Audi Club members, our donations raised over $600 for Angel Flight!

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.
