ABOUT OUR CLUB
The date June 6, 2004. Five PT Cruisers carrying eight Dayton area PT enthusiasts met in the Wilmington
Pike parking lot of Home Depot, to discuss the possibility of starting a Cruiser club in the region.

PTs on Home Depot parking lot for first gathering - a Cruser club begins.
Those eight, Harvey Cohen, Bob and Pat Riffle, Gracie Kline, Alice, Susan Lucas, and Katie and John Dattalo,
decided that day that a club was needed. They began organizing the brand new Gem City PT Cruisers. Two
weeks later, the five cars grew to 20 for the club's first official event at Quaker Steak and Lube in Beavercreek.
Cars came from as far away as Columbus and Cincinnati to help kick off the new club. And a good time was
had by all! The date: June 26, 2004 - the anniversary date for our club. The first anniversary was celebrated
with a Show and Shine at QSL.
We are a club without any formal organizational structure. However, in the interest of avoiding total chaos,
volunteer Coordinators have provided leadership for the club. The first Coordinator was Harvey Cohen. The
second was Bob Riffle, and recently a third Coordinator stepped forward into the leadership role: Jack Smith.
