NJ ROA Archives: The History of Events
Saturday, February 24, 2001: The first meeting of the New Jersey Riviera Owners Association (NJROA) took place! In addition to meeting some very nice people, we discussed ideas for the 2001 season: attending shows as a group, tech sessions, social events (getting together just to enjoy each other's company), finding a sponsoring Buick dealer and a few other issues. A special thanks to Anthony Gatta of the Long Island Region of ROA for sharing his ideas with us.
