Citroën Mechanics Appreciation Luncheon
2025-06-01 13:00 - 17:00 | The Home of Dennis and Kathy Deusing, 18353 Blackberry Lane, Meadow Vista, CA, 95722, United States
Save the date for something extra special. Along with the normal club outings this year we have an opportunity to meet and give our thanks for the many tireless years that the professional mechanics have provided services to our community. Without them we would be at the mercy of our best reading of the maintenance manuals and Haynes books to try to make repairs and critical adjustments to cars that bare only a similarity to all others. Citroens are unique, and the owners are eclectic at best. We all enjoy our cars when they are operating like they should, and our mechanics have been there for us to make sure they do. This will culminate in a luncheon being given in their honor come June 1st. Three of the major Citroen Clubs in California will be gathering for a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet and greet them as well as see some fine examples of Citroen cars. It will be a long drive for some and probably an overnight stay. There are many attractions in the Gold Country and those who come early, there will be plenty to do. The luncheon officially starts at 1:00pm, but early arrivals to secure parking and to see cars are encouraged.

West Coast Citroen Rendez Vous October 18-20
2024-10-18 - 2024-10-20 | El Capitan Hotel, 609 W. Main Street, Merced, CA, 95340, United States
West Coast Citroën Rendez-Vous

October 18-20, 2024

El Capitan Hotel Merced, California
Join us October 18-20 for the 2024 West Coast Citroën Rendez-Vous in Merced, California!

Finding a venue that can accommodate a hundred people at a reasonable price proved quite a challenge! After considering dozens of venues, we’ve settled on Merced for our West Coast Citroën Rendez-Vous

A youthful and diverse community, Merced is located in the heart of California’s agricultural Central Valley and was historically known as the «Gateway to Yosemite». The revitalized downtown is emerging as the arts and entertainment centre of the area.

Our home base for the weekend will be the historic 114-room El Capitan Hotel. Designed by architect Edward T. Foulkes, whose résumé includes the grand Oakland Tribune office tower in downtown Oakland, the El Capitan was a favourite in the 1920s of Mary Pickford, America’s sweetheart of the silent film era, and her husband, Douglas Fairbanks. The hotel was renovated and completely modernized in 2021.

Our group rate ranges from $139 to $165 per night depending on the room selected.

As usual, we’ll have a Saturday drive and scenic luncheon. Our dinner that night will be at the historic Mainzer Theatre next door to the hotel.

See you in October!

Citroën Rendez Vous 2022

THE VENUE

After considering venues all the way from Pacific Grove east through Salinas and San Juan Bautista, we are pleased to announce that we settled on Sonora.

In the beautiful Sierra Nevada Foothills and at the very heart of California’s “Gold Country”, the town is named after the miners from Sonora Mexico who settled the City in 1848. Known as the “Queen of the Southern Mines”, Sonora still holds on to its historic downtown charm while thriving as the commercial, government and cultural center for the region.

Our home base for the weekend will be the Best Western Sonora Oaks Hotel. Rooms include a full breakfast, WiFi, and access to the on-site pool. Our group rate is $144/night and they’ve agreed to offer that rate for 30 rooms. After that it is market rate, which is usually about $165/night.

IMPORTANT: in addition to registering for the Rendez Vous, you MUST separately make a hotel booking at this link:

https://www.bestwestern.com/en_US/book/hotel-rooms.05408.html?groupId=3X5TE0C1

THE PROGRAMME

On Friday night we will welcome people at the registration area. You’re encouraged to join us for a casual, prepare-your-own dinner on the hotel BBQ, or drop by for drinks before exploring dinner options in town. We will send more information about that as the date approaches.

On Saturday morning we’ll head out on a scenic drive through incredibly beautiful foothills. Our endpoint will be the home of longtime SFRCCC members Susan and Peter Kendall. There we will enjoy included soft drinks and whichever of these boxed lunches you’ve selected at registration:

Thanksgiving

Roasted Turkey, spiced cranberry sauce, mayo, lettuce, on “stuffing” bread.

OR
Roast Beef

Roasted and sliced tri-tip, horseradish cream cheese spread, caramelized onions, lettuce, on a ciabatta roll.

OR
Veggie

Sautéed onions, peppers, and mushrooms, with alfalfa sprouts, tomato, cucumber, Provolone cheese, fresh hummus, on sliced multi-grain bread.

Over lunch, hang out and chat amongst the cars, and take in a technical session or two under the lift in Peter’s dream garage.

The Kendalls live just 10 minutes away from both downtown Sonora and the hotel, so Saturday afternoon you can either dip into a museum in town, or dip into the hotel’s pool. Your choice!

From 6pm on Saturday we will enjoy finger food and beverages in advance of a 7pm plated dinner at the hotel’s Oak Glen room. You’ll start with an appetizer and whichever of these options you selected at registration:

Grilled Moroccan Chicken Supreme w/ Black Currant-Tomato Chutney, Preserved Lemon Rice Pilaf,

Braised Brussels Sprouts w/ Creamy Sriracha & Shaved Asiago

OR
Grilled Ahi Tuna Steak w/ Mango Salsa, Coconut Rice,

Broccoli, Onion, Red Pepper, Summer Squash Stir-fry

OR
Wild Mushroom Ragout on Creamy Coconut Polenta w/ Parsnips, Chick Peas & Miso

Broccoli, Onion, Red Pepper, Summer Squash Stir-fry

Your three-course dinner INCLUDES all soft drinks, wine, beer, and coffee.

During dinner on Saturday night we will enjoy some very special entertainment and an awards programme.

While there are no planned events on Sunday, we’ll be sending you more information about local sights and driving routes that you can explore individually.

CHANGES TO COSTS and new GLUTEN FREE/SPECIAL DIET OPTION

We thought long and hard about how to share the costs of this event more fairly. So, this year we are replacing the per-PARTY registration fee with a much lower per-ADULT fee of $25. This means that everyone will end up paying the same amount instead of couples essentially paying half as much as a single person.

We’ve also changed the price of dinner. The caterer is charging us $65/plate, but after adding taxes, tips, beverages, and facility charges, that $65 dinner ends up costing the better part of $100/person. The gap between what we collect and what we spend is covered by the hosting Club. With a hundred attendees, even a $5/person shortfall translates into a $500 expense. So, the price of dinner is $65 per attendee, and on the online registration form there’s a place where you can chip in a little extra to cover the shortfall, if you are so inclined. But, no pressure to do so.

Also new this year: there are delicious gluten-free and special diet options for both the boxed lunch and the plated dinner. Just use the checkbox on the registration form and we will get in touch with you to sort out the details.

Register now! Registration goes from $25 to $35 per person on September 1.

NEON A LIGHT HISTORY
Is it possible that (once again) everything we know is wrong? Well, in regards to the history of neon, this may well be the case. Dydia DeLyser and Paul Greenstein have penned a brief, but concise history of the neon sign beginning at the beginning, and covering scandals, murder, fascists, and forgotten inventors. A full-color, lavishly illustrated electrical bodice ripper, aficionados of neon will find this an indispensable “bible” to the history of their favorite collision of art and commerce.
