John Hennes has been selected as the new Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) Chapter Director of the Cadillac V-Club effective as of today.  John has been a member since 2015 and owns a limited edition 2018 Glacier White CTS-V Sedan.  His previous vehicle was a 2016 ATS-V. 

John is very active in the local car scene and has attended the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch V-Performance Academy, a Cadillac V-Performance Lab at Circuit of Americas (COTA) and numerous drag racing and 1/2 mile land speed events.

John replaces Jamie Rawlyck, who completed a 2 year term as the DFW Chapter Director and recently resigned due to personal family and business commitments combined with the fact he has decided to sell both of this Cadillac V's.  Jamie owns a 2009 CTS-V sedan and a 2011 CTS-V Coupe.  Jamie will remain as a member until his V's find new homes and hopefully we will see him return as a member in a Cadillac V one day in the near future.

We are pleased and very proud to announce that 6 year member Chuck McCormick is returning as the Austin Chapter Director.  Chuck expressed his interest and commitment to serve in the leadership position and we are excited to have him back in the role.  Chuck first joined the Cadillac V-Club in May of 2013 and served as the Chapter Director for almost two years.   Chuck's first Cadillac V was a CTS-V Coupe and now he owns a 2018 Limited Edition Glacier White CTS-V Sedan. He is looking forward to planning some activities and events for the Austin Chapter in the near future. Some cruises in the hill country, track days at COTA and V-Club meet 'n greet events will be scheduled on the calendar as soon as the COVID-19 pandemic guidelines allow him to schedule and host the events.  Chuck is a retired FBI agent and is also a military veteran. 

Brian Ross  was recently nominated by the Cadillac V-Club Board of Directors as the Chapter Director for the newly chartered Los Angeles Chapter.  Brian joined the V-Club in September of 2019 and owns a white 2019 CTS-V Sedan.

Brian and his wife, Christina are both Los Angeles natives and currently reside in Woodland Hills. They are new to the Cadillac family but have already fallen in love with the Cadillac V-Series brand. Their recent visit to the IMSA race at Laguna Seca last year solidified their passion for the Cadillac V Series. As Chapter Director, Brian will be responsible for arranging quarterly meet and greet events as well as attending local car meets. 

With this announcement, the Cadillac V-Club now has two local chapters in California (San Francisco and Los Angeles) and will soon be announcing a third chapter based in San Diego.  It only takes 10 "regional members" to launch a local chapter and San Diego currently has 7 members.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has impacted the health and well-being of individuals and communities around the world. Businesses all over the world are having to evolve and adapt to accommodate this fluid situation. We have already seen some industries grind to a halt, while others will be forever altered.

We understand that priorities will be revised as you personally adapt and I want to reassure you that the Cadillac V-Club Board of Directors is very concerned and care about each and everyone of you. We are fortunate that we can use our website, social media and email to communicate with you.  National, regional and local chapter events are on hold for now but when the "shelter in place" order is lifted, once again we'll be proudly driving our cars, planning and attending events.  Once the ban on social gatherings is lifted, I have asked each Chapter Director to schedule a special "celebration" meet 'n greet event for members. Spouses and children are welcome to attend this special event and there will be no guest fees for regional members or members with a single membership.

Public health officials are stressing proper sleep, good nutrition and plenty of exercise to keep our immune systems strong. More than ever, sports and recreation will help take care of your mind and body even if it is simply exercising at home. I firmly believe our V-Series community is strong and we will overcome whatever comes our way.

During these uncertain times, I am sure some of you will be directly impacted financially.   If your membership comes up for renewal during the next couple of months and you don't have the funds to pay and you would like an extension, simply reply to this email and I will extend your payment due date for your invoice by 3 months.  If you simply cannot pay your renewal until you return to work and require additional time, we will do whatever we can to assist you. 

We do not want to see any member leave the V-Club because they have been temporarily been laid off or furloughed.  Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need some relief financially and would like to remain an member of the V-Club. I hope this small gesture helps you and your family. We are facing this challenge together, America is strong and I am confident we will win the battle against this virus. 

You may have read online that we recently launched the San Francisco, CA chapter. We are proud to announce that we will also be launching chapters in Los Angeles, CA, San Diego, CA and Oklahoma City, OK in the near future. Even with year-to-year membership attrition, we will soon exceed 400 active members for the first time in our 6 year history.

Thank you for your continued support. Stay safe and healthy!
