[lcollierhyams at cox.net]

That's Monday! Our next tech session is Monday 5 Nov 2012. 

Hi Club members. I hope everyone survived the storm. 
I was stranded out of town for several days and missed the fun. Consequently, this email is later than it should be. Please note that the Dealership has asked that we cap attendance at 15 so contact me soon regarding available space. I suspect we will be able to fit you in.

This is a great chance for you to come out and learn a few things on your car or 
prepare your baby for the winter months! 

Please note that the dealership 
 
RSVP to LCOLLIERHYAMS at Cox.Net Those of you that have told me in person please 
send and email note so I can verify. 
 
There have been some changes requested by the dealership which include a cap at 
15 member participants on the lifts. This means that getting a spot is more 
competitive than in the past so please RSVP as soon as possible. 
We will also have a startup briefing before work begins. The dealership has 
asked that we make sure that the parts department notates our purchases for the 
event. If there are any jobs to be done that may be considered above and beyond 
minor technician support we must ask permission ahead of time. I believe this 
means things such as inspections, alignments and other projects that might 
include the state of Va or legal matters. 
 
All Mazda vehicles are welcome from the super racers to the banged up daily 
commuter.  - pretty exciting as several of us have some big jobs to tackle. 
  
If you need parts get your orders to Dave in parts asap. His email is 
Daveinparts at aol.com and can be contacted directly. 
  
Come to Rosenthal Mazda (Tyson's Corner) Vienna from 6:00 
until 8:00 PM. There will be a lift fee of $10 which includes food (such as 
pizza and soda - In Dec we had a big seasonal spread!). 
 
The parts  department will remain open until at least 7:00 PM. Please, do not 
abuse Rosenthal's hospitality by arriving prior to 6:00 PM as they need time 
to clear out their day customers. You are welcome to buy parts prior to this. 
  
This is a great opportunity to raise your Mazda on a lift and perform 
minor maintenance with the help of professional mechanics and/or Club 
members. You will need to be an MSCW member to use a lift. You have the 
option to join on the spot. Bring your own tools and RSVP if you wish to 
attend. Visitors are encouraged to socialize and see what goes on. RSVP 
is required, those with reservations receive lift priority. 
  
NOTE: Tech Session participants should give serious consideration to 
purchasing parts from Mazda Dealer the night of the Tech Session to help 
ensure continued support. We have a discount parts account under my name 
set up by head parts man Dave. 
  
Regarding membership requirements for the event - on occasion potential 
new members attend the sessions and join on the spot. The lift fee 
can be paid at the session and you can become a member or update your membership 
as well. 
  
Recent projects have included brakes/pads/discs, rotations, all fluids, exhaust 
manifolds, window hardware, shock work, intake manifold cleaning, coolant hoses, 
etc.
