Hylton, I'd like to leave a message for the employees if I can...

Dear Oshawa plant employees,

I'd like to sincerely thank you for the hard work you do every single day in building these Camaros. I cannot even begin to describe how I felt when I first saw my Black 2SS RS. To make it even better, the first time I sat in her and drove her made me feel like I was in a dream.

In all, I had to wait about three months to get my car. At first I thought that was a long time and that I would go crazy waiting for her to come in. But now that I have her, I can see why some people have waited up to a year for theirs to come in. I can now say that if I had had to wait even longer for her to come in, in the end it would have been well worth the wait. This car is truly special and for that I sincerely want to thank you for the amazing job you have done and continue to do every single day for future owners just like me.

This car is a thousand times better than anything I could have ever hoped for, so I want to thank you for being a part of that.

Enjoy the meet and greet with Camaro5 members - I really wish I could have come!

Thanks again - I love my Camaro!

Sincerely,

Justin Scott Newberry (Albuquerque, New Mexico...Black 2SS RS 6M Camaro #33,982)

Write it down in a letter and send it to Hyton for printing and inclusion in the letters book to the plant employees he's putting together.

Here's the thing...I'm currently out of the country (in Mexico) on a semester exchange and I know for a fact that the mail isn't too reliable down here (I've heard stories of Christmas greeting cards arriving in June haha) and I don't know if it'll reach him in time or at all...(The out of the country thing affected me once before in the fact that I've only gotten to drive my Camaro for one weekend and then I had to park it for 5 months!!! =/ but it was a very good weekend with my car)


Hylton, what should I do? I can definitely try the mail system and see if it works

Thanks for all your help guys! I'd really like to get a thank you message to the Oshawa guys and gals because they really have done an awesome job!

I am pleased to announce that Camaro5 will be hosting a meet and greet with Oshawa Camaro Assembly workers on October 2nd (Friday). It is a way for Camaro owners and Camaro5 members to say "thanks" to the brothers and sisters who spend their days putting our beloved cars together.


Here is the hotel info - ask to speak to Amanda Hannah and state you are with Camaro5:

10-19 rooms confirmed $ 115.00 CDN/room/night

Holiday Inn Oshawa Whitby Conference Centre
Phone: (905) 576-5101 ext. 6649
Fax: (905) 576-3296

www.hioshawa.ca

I will be arriving late on Thursday October 1st. All participants should arrive no later than noon on Friday October 2nd and count on staying over that night. I am currently negotiating Camaro5 exclusive parking which will include overnight security.

Final details of the 2 day activity will be posted this upcoming Tuesday but for now, I can say we will all be leaving from the hotel as a large 2010 Camaro caravan to the venue (awaiting confirmation). At the venue, finger foods will be served and a plaque presentation will be made to CAW Local 222 from Camaro5.

Following the presentation and speeches, we will all be moving to the parking lot where Camaro5 members will have the opportunity to have their cars, books, posters or whatever signed by those who built it.

After the meet and greet event has finished, Camaro5 members will then return to the hotel where we will have our own Camaro5/beer tasting/get to know each other party.

On Saturday, we will all be going to the Canadian Automotive Museum to see some of the contributions Oshawa has made to GM's growth over the many, many decades.

Finally, we will all have lunch together at a local restaurant before saying our good-byes.

This will be your opportunity to meet Super60, 80Zedder, The Mole and a few other notables here on Camaro5. We estimate we will be feeding about 200-250 plant employees as well as anyone who will be attending. Financial contributions will be greatly appreciated. Those who would like to make a financial contribution can Paypal me at HyltonJ@aol.com.

In addition, I am asking all those who are happy with their cars to spend a moment and write a letter to the plant workers expressing how this car has brought you joy and happiness. Perhaps you would like to share some stories about the car. I will be collecting all these messages and creating binders for all plant employees as a keepsake of the occasion. All financial contributors will also be identified in the the binders to be presented to plant employees. Send your letters to HyltonJ@aol.com.

I would like at the MINIMUM to have at least one car of every color attend this event. Many of the plant workers never get to see the final product (believe it or not). They certainly do not see the cars with stripes or GFX on them so I need a show of hands of Camaro5 members who are willing to attend. Please identify your cars color if you plan on bringing it.

So please post if you are attending, if you would like to make a financial contribution, if you are going to write a letter to the employees or a combination of all 3!

I know this is a weekday but I hope to see as many of you as possible come out and say thanks to the men and women who have had a hell of a year and despite all the bad news, have done an outstanding job with our cars! Hope to see as many of you as possible.

Hylton Jorssen

Hylton, looks like I'll be there WITH my IBM 2LT. I'll forward some $$ to your paypal and a letter for the guys in the plant. PM me and tell me what you need from me (I live five seconds away and am willing to help you however I can. I owe Mike (Super60) a huge thanks at the least for everything he's done for me.
