MPAS has lost a true kind soul

Daniel was a true, kind, gentle soul who always had a kind word and positive outlook.

He was someone you could meet for the first time and instantly feel like you had made a true friend.

He will be greatly missed.

We may go straight to the final destination, or do an abbreviated cruise around the Peninsula depending on the weather & everyones state of mind.

If you have questions, need directions, or have any other concerns please feel free to contact Mathias via the Yahoo Group mpas_vw@yahoogroups.com.

We had a great turn out again this year; even with the last minute planning! Pictures of the event have been posted on the Yahoo Group site .

November Cruise

Thanks to everyone that participated in the short but sweet cruise. It was great to see some of the members from years past make it out and as always BLTN made an excellent showing.

We have decided the next event will be a cruise up to Half Moon Bay in January.

Stay tuned for the specifics.
