The London-Windsor-Detroit Event Weekend
Hello Everyone,
Get ready to RSVP and attend our fabulous Event Weekend July 23-25th, and to book your hotel room by July 1st! We're touring the Windsor Assembly Plant, and we've just confirmed a once in a lifetime tour of the incredible Chrysler Design Studios in Detroit!
We also need your RSVP's to plan our Viper feature at the Ferrari Concours on July 19th!
President's Message
Welcome to “Viper Summer”! I believe this is a far better title for a movie than the classic “Corvette Summer” movie of the 70’s, and our team of Directors and area event planners have been wasting no time preparing our Viper Summer to be a very memorable one! The great weather is now upon us and temperatures are rising daily!
Our many fun-filled July events are coming up quickly, with many more exciting opportunities to meet other members of our club. Please reacquaint yourselves with our great Events Calendar and scroll through our listings. Simply RSVP to the organizer of each event if you're able to attend. https://www.viperclubofontario.com/events
We look forward to a great summer and hopefully we can put many miles and smiles together in the near future.

We have a block of rooms reserved at the DoubleTree Hilton Windsor Hotel & Suites until July 1st for the July 23 & 24th event days, but also for the 25th for those who'd like to stay over another night. We stayed here for our Conner Center event in 2024 and it was excellent. They have a restaurant for our early breakfasts. There's covered parking and we'll have our own reserved area, along with overnight security for the 23rd & 24th only.
See our June 30th emails for room booking and cancellation details.
