SNO was founded by a group of Alfisti in October of 2004, at the annual Concorso Italiano in Monterey, CA.  The charter
members live in the San Francisco Bay Area, mostly in the region south of San Francisco widely known as Silicon Valley.  They include
three engineers (Tom Sahines, Richard Lane and Ben Lamprecht), an auto parts manager and former Alfa mechanic (Steve Smith),
a former Yahoo web wizard who now works for the government (Ted Williams), and former business owner turned lay-about (Gary Williams). 
Cars include several GTV's & GTA's, an assortment of Giuliettas, a Junior Zagato, a Giulietta Spider race car, a Milano Verde, a stunning Turbo
Alfetta GTV, and an ever growing list of other Alfas, Panteras, Ferraris, Maseratis, and other Italian makes.

There are only two requirements to belong to this group:
(1) You must be more enamored with Italian cars than is emotionally or financially healthy, and
(2) You must not be offended by fellow enthusiasts who change the wheels on their cars, modify
      mechanical systems, or make other changes, such as painting their cars non-stock colors. 

Other than the two points noted above, there are NO rules, NO meetings, NO dues,  NO activities, and NO reasons for joining. 
That said, in early December of 2004 we opened the group to our first new members: Antonio, who lives in Milano, and now -- by
virtue of being our only member in Italy -- heads the Italian branch office; Russ Turner, who like Antonio was the first member in
his country, and thus becomes head of the Texas branch; and Richard Banks, first to join from England, heading the U.K. branch. 
More continue to join as word gets out about our exceptional NO benefits.  You'll find their names listed below in order of membership.

2.  Send an e-mail to : SNO at greend dot com.                                                
     In your message, state that you accept our membership rules and -- though
     you have no idea why -- you'd like to become a member.  Be sure to include
     your name, city, state, country, and Alfas you own (or vice versa).  If you want
     to attach a digital photo or two, we'll put them on the web site.

3.  Wear your colors proudly. 


Two choices available:
a.  NEW -- Shown Above -- Fabric scuderia patches with velcro backs, 3" x 3" size, $4 donation each.
          Great for hats, driving suits, your grandchild. 
b.  Vinyl stickers of the club logo (as seen at the top of this page). They come in
          one 4.5" size (Smaller size is out of stock).   These are exterior-quality with adhesive backing. 
          They are a $3 donation each, including postage within the U.S.   If you're outside the
          U.S., we'll need to add a little to cover the extra mailing cost.  Please write
          and we'll let you know  what to add.  

E-mail gary at greend dot com and I'll give you my mailing address.
