I just took over as "Organizer" of this group from the previous organization that was running "incubator"-like training events. I am ready to help make this group what you members want it to be. Let's get a dialog going and see where it takes us. My proposal: I have 15+ years of experience in starting and running small businesses on a shoestring budget. Sometimes out of choice, more times out of instinctual necessity. My current specialties are in small business technology, free & open source so …

Founded in 1975, the Washington Volvo Club is the continuation of a club begun in 1958 for the care and feeding of Volvos of all years and styles. In 1978, the WVC was chosen to participate in a print and TV advertisement for Volvo Cars (the photo from that advert is on this page). After that, everything changed, and we ceased being a purely local Club. We went from fifty members to hundreds of members, from Sweden to Malaysia, from Maine to California, and in various places in between! We mai …

Let’s do direct and organized trading to help each other in these tough times. T …

Hikes will tend to be 4-6 miles during the weekdays before or after work with options for longer hikes for those wishing to do so. It sure beats …
