Upcoming Events
Because FOG covers such a large state, we have both statewide and local events. The statewide events shown below include both FOG-sponsored events as well as other events that may appeal to our members. If you are a sponsor of an event that you would like listed here, please contact Mark Pribanic, our webmaster. pribanic356@yahoo.com
Local events consist of monthly breakfasts and tours that are organized by members in various parts of the state. One of the major benefits of owning a 356 is the opportunity to meet and socialize with a truly marvelous group of people. These low-key events are a great way to get to know your fellow members.
Please note we are looking for volunteers to organize local gatherings in certain areas of the state. Please contact Frank Hood, our Events Chair, for more information: fhood@tampabay.rr.com
