2nd Annual Buyers & Builders Oshawa Meet & Greet - August 20-22

[CanadianCamaro]

Announcing the 2nd Annual, Buyers & Builders Oshawa Meet & Greet (BBOMG)

This August we (Camaro enthusiasts) will once again be hosting a meet and greet with the Assembly workers of GM Oshawa August 20th – 22nd. This event is a way for owners to say "thanks" to the people who spend their days putting our beloved cars together. Over the last year of turmoil the wonderful people of GM Oshawa have produced strong numbers of the Impala, continued to impress with the 2008 North American Car of the year the Malibu and sent shockwaves through the industry with the 2010 Camaro – building nearly 100,000 units in its first year of production! And they did all this while maintaining some of the highest build-standards in the industry .

Last year we focused on 2010 Camaros - This year we would like to see ALL YEARS in attendance! Of course we expect a big showing of Camaros and Firebirds, but we won’t turn away any GM car enthusiast.

Letters to the Builders:
Similar to last year we are 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 share stories about the car (of course we’re focusing on Oshawa-built vehicles here). These letters will be published in the plant newsletter. Send your letters to buyersandbuildersstories@gmail.com

A special thanks goes out to the corporate sponsors and supporters of this year's BBOMG including:

Others I should mention include:
- North Oshawa Lions Club
- Limestone Emroidery (Kingston)
- Many others that I can't remember right now
and,
- All of you! The Owners!
