FCA-SW Hawaii Members

Any of the local guys know how many active FCA-SW members there are in Hawaii? I just received my new Sempre Ferrari copy and notice that 3 new members joined. It looks like the Hawaii members get lost among those of us here in Southern California.

I just floated out to one of the directors the idea about a FCA-SW trip/gathering in Hawaii. What would the interest level be in the Hawaii members hosting/arranging some drive or event? I'm not an officer or director but it sounds potentially like a fun idea to me.

 

Bumping this again to see if there is any traction on the Hawaiian side. My initial inquiry to FCA-SW got bumped up to the next level so maybe some FCA event in Honolulu get to a planning stage. Anyone have a good contact at Ferrari of Hawaii?

 

Trying to push the idea to FCA. Its a good excuse for another Island trip and a chance to embrace our FCA brothers. As mentioned earlier, I'm not an officer or a director but I have passed the suggestion on and have volunteered to work on setting something up if the club goes for it. If they do, I'm sure that I'll be provided the Hawaii members list and will need some help and suggestions to organize something. Probably be more of a social event than anything else.

Any of the locals have any idea on how Ferraris or Ferrari owners there are in Hawaii? I found out from FCA-SW that we only have 8 members currently listed in Hawaii which I found to be surprisingly low. Of that 2 were on the Big Island, 2 on Maui and 4 on Oahu. It may be that several are owners transplanted from other parts of the country and have membership elsewhere or it may simply be that the local owners have not seen enough benefits to warrant joining. We need to change that.

I'm trying to get something off the ground for a FCA-SW meet in Honolulu in 2016. Its starting to pick up some traction now.

 

The next question is how many of you Hawaii Ferrari owners are not currently an FCA member? Those who are members are easy enough to track down. If you are not a member, I'd like to get a count and what Island you are on.

 

You are not showing up in our totals then. Trying to get something going. Just wondering if there are a few non-members who haven't bothered to join. I have had a few tell me that they don't see much benefit being in Hawaii.

 

FCA-SW Board Meeting today and it looks like a gathering with our Hawaiian brothers (and sisters) will be a go for sometime late this year or early next year. We hope to reach out to the local dealer as well as the local members for support and organization help. It will be a chance for our chapter to socialize, maybe a drive and hopefully recruit some new members.

I'm assuming that with a dealership in Honolulu, that they are selling some new cars in the Islands as well. The 10% off parts and service alone should make membership worth the price.

In any case, I'm looking forward to a fun event. Who in the islands is interested - (Members or not)?

 

I know what you mean as I used to live there, be it 30 years ago.

In any case, its really three fold: Socialize with the Hawaiian members of our FCA chapter and increase involvement (good photo opp. too), chance to add new members and if all else fails, it's a good excuse to So. California members to take a trip to Hawaii.

I'm there at least once a year anyway. I might as well combine the two.

Maybe we will convince you to transfer your membership to our chapter.

Chance for you to join! Some of the events will be members only but I am hoping that they will see this as a potential recruiting tool and open some events up to non-members.

 

Thanks Bruce! Its not my Ferrari but I may just rent a Mustang for the trip. (It has a horse on it!) I'll look like a thousand other tourists there but I can still enjoy the weather and the beautiful scenery.

Looking forward to it.
