VW Auto Show Information:
The Bi-State Volkswagen Club is based in the Quad Cities area on the border of Illinois and Iowa. We are a non-profit club formed to encourage and promote VW driving, restoration, and all around Volkswagen FUN. Whatever your STYLE, be it stock, custom, or race-radical you will find others who know where you are coming from (or where to find the parts to get you there). Ownership is NOT essential; ENTHUSIASM IS. Club membership is open to anyone interested in VWs and is reasonably priced at $10.00 per year for a family membership. Membership includes a monthly newsletter, a club window sticker, and discounted auto parts through FOREIGN CAR PARTS. Club meetings are normally held on the second Sunday of each month. Times and meeting places vary depending on the planned activity. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate at any and all meetings, events,functions, and activities.
