2012 "CERTIFIED" & "MEMBER SUPPORTED" Event Calendar
#1
2012 "CERTIFIED" & "MEMBER SUPPORTED" Event Calendar
This Event Calendar is posted EVERY YEAR to help guide new members in choosing the events that CL members post in this section. Events are categorized into three basic types as described below. The descriptions should be helpful in deciding what type of event you wish to attend and it also allows you to plan your schedule with the dates posted far enough in advance.
The other reason for the calendar is to strategically organize the dates selected in order to minimize conflicts with other member planned events. The event organizers go to great efforts to plan out this calendar and select the dates. As a result these events will take PRIORITY over any other event occurring on the same weekend and not listed below.
NorCal Certified Events :
ClubLexus member Hosted event
- This event is Hosted by a Veteran NorCal member with past experience and a proven track record in hosting successful events/ activities
- Good attendance guaranteed
- Well organized activity
- High likelihood to see many veteran member cars that ONLY come out to these big events (GS , LS and SC model participation is a bit rare outside of these big events)
- A great activity for new members to meet the veteran members ( Active members already know each other and it is easy for us to tell who the new members are)
NorCal Member Supported Events :
This event is NOT a NorCal Member OWNED activity, though it is an event that a Veteran Member "might" Host or Support at some capacity to represent Nor Cal participation
- Some Member attendance, though participation level varies
- Some level of CL member support with the activity, possibly arrange roll in, caravans, allocate dedicated spaces, etc.
- New members may or may not be able to locate veteran members who know each other ( We don’t know you and you don’t know us)
- Meet and greet process usually not in place
- Some of the meets tend to be smaller and more personal, so it’s a good event for first time members to attend
- Other events may be larger and CL members may play a smaller role in participation, so these may be a bit harder to locate veteran members without having a planned contact
All other meets not listed
The intention of the event calendar is to guide new members as to which events that the Veteran members support and have some level of involvement with the activity to ensure a good first experience.
- An event that is NOT being listed here is NOT an indication that you should not attend.
- Meets not listed here may in fact be events that members will attend and a thread may be posted, however the expectations as noted in the Certified Meets and Member Supported Meets are not necessarily supported, or the event may be hosted by a non-senior member, posting their first activity, etc.
- NorCal member attendance is not guaranteed
- Organizing caravans, roll in, etc. is not guaranteed
- People who are not looking to meet with veteran CL members and find it easy to meet people on their own should be fine with attending this type of event.

On occasion there will be a "Reserved" space POSTED on the thread where we will make space available for CL members, however it is required that you stay the entire event period and you must arrive early. If you cannot do this, then there is no guarantee that you will be able to park as a group unless you organize amongst yourselves to roll in together.

Glad to see veteran members like vrmRollLex and zsc3 still out there checking the forums.
I can't emphasize enough to the new members, that the smaller meets don't get much participation from the veteran members. I know you guys will come out for our Traditional BIG events. New members need to realize after 3, 4, 5 or more years on the forums that many active veteran members will not come out to the smaller activities.
The larger events such as BOS may by the ONLY opportunity to see a lot of Lexus models come out to represent.
Hope to see you guys come out this year !
