Mark your calendar for Great Lakes Division Spring Training Conference on March 2, jam-packed with sessions, and be sure to come in time for the not-to-be-missed Friday Night Social March 1.

The agenda is already building and will be jam-packed with sessions led by GLD specialists and SCCA National staff. If you have a session you’d like to see hosted – or you want to host a session – reach out and let Val know (see below).

Spring Training Conference will be held in Fort Wayne, in a new location, The Summit, an amazing corporate setting (1025 W. Rudisill Blvd, Fort Wayne, IN 46708). We’ve got the entire facility for GLD – it’s all on one floor for full accessibility, with an auditorium, ample large classrooms, open spaces for gathering, and a ton of extras, including the highest technology in every room. It’s surrounded with parking and easy to find in the city. Check out The Summit by clicking here: https://eventsatthesummit.com/meetings-events/meetings/

A group rate for hotel guest rooms will be secured on both the north and south ends of Fort Wayne’s I-69 to make it easy for you, no matter which direction you come from. The Friday evening social will most likely take place in the south I-69 hotel; another detail in the works.

All day Saturday we’ll have the Information Table again, so if your region or you have something to share, pass out, give-away, etc, start gathering now. This will be a great place for a Region Event Schedule or an Event Promotion Flier, for example. Yes, this is separate from the Silent Auction!

We’ll offer the Silent Auction again, too. Think about an item(s) you might want to donate, then put it on the list to bring with you. Last year we had motorsports memorabilia, hand-crafted designs, race ties, specialty creations, jars of home-grown catnip ... each was fought over in ongoing bidding!  You will set a minimum bid (if desired) and be recognized as the donor. Proceeds will be split 50/50, half to Great Lakes Division, half to the SCCA Foundation. Contact Val for more information or simply bring your donated item(s) with you and we'll fill out an Auction Bid Sheet.

Watch for the agenda and registration details to be posted in the first weeks of the new year. Questions? E-mail or call/text Val McCammon (pyramid@bluebirdview.com; 260-437-6707)
