Active Regional Coordinators Needed!

Do you have the interest and enthusiasm to be a regional representative for ROA? If your area is not represented here, we need your help. As a RC you would be expected to keep local members advised of local activities and host at least one exclusive ROA event a year, such as a picnic or tour. The ROA will support you with updated members lists, mailing labels and pay for postage. The RC program is vital to ROA, lets keep it alive. For more information contact Ray Knott #1 at .

March 1, 2025—ROA members met at the Habitat for Humanity Strawberry Festival and Car Show in Ocala.

The day was marked by clear, blue skies, 70-degree temperatures and a refreshing light breeze, and we had a small but mighty turnout for the annual Strawberry Festival and Car Show.

Although several members had to cancel just before the event, on hand were Gary Bibb with1972 boattail, guest Hayden Sands with his 1964 featuring a very nice custom interior, guest Ron Snyder driving Bob Wannall’s 1982 convertible, Charles Courture with his 1999 Silver Arrow, which took first place in his division at last year’s ROA National Meet, and Bob Wannall in his 1964.

The event attracts thousands of festival-goers, so our Rivieras garnered plenty of attention and admiration. We agreed it was an outstanding event, and we’ll be back next year.

March 2, 2024, Saturday. A soggy weather forecast slowed our Central Florida Region gathering at the 10th Annual Habitat for Humanity Strawberry Festival and Car Show, but we had a fine time and the rain held off until the show ended, and we were enroute to dry garages. The event earned enough to build a Habitat house. Pictured here, left to right, Joyce and Gil Volling, Charles Couture, and Bob Wannall. Not pictured: Jay Mesquita and Debbie Riecks.
