Annual Brunch at Tanque Verde Ranch - May 15th, 2010 It was High Noon, on May 15th when 27 members of the Chaparral Section and 2 guest--Bud Cloninger and his wife from the Phoenix Desert Star--met at the old Tanque Verde Ranch for brunch. The Tanque Verde Ranch has been in operation since 1868 and has over 60,000 acres (the largest dude ranch in the USA) as well as the best Brunch in Tucson. The camaraderie, food and prizes were great fun. The line up of Mercedes was impressive. President Mike Zonnefeld highlighted for the attendees the many upcoming events scheduled for the remainder of 2010. Included in our line up is: the continuing commitment to support local charities, a meeting at the Pima Air Museum, support of the Rotary Club, a joint event with the Desert Stars and attendance at the Tohono O'Odam Cultural Center. The second year of the revitalized Club has more and more events and interesting activities for our members and guest. Annual Casual Classic Car Show - April 17, 2010 Davis - Mothan AFB, Tucson, AZ. The Chaparral Section continues our commitment to the community and local charities in 2010 with a commitment to the active service men and women and their families at Davis Mothan AFB in Tucson AZ. Fourteen Mercedes-Benz and Chaparral members turned out in support of DM-50, a local charity committed to helping active duty service men and women and their families by sponsoring a fun filled day on the  Base. DH-50 hosted their 2nd annual picnic to show appreciation to the US Air Force and Davis Monthan AFB. Included in the festivities is the Annual Casual Classic Car Show sponsored by the Porsche Club. This event was a FUN event with no rigid rules and only one special class; a special class just for Airmen to show off their classic cars. A wonderful BBQ, games for the kids and demonstrations by various sections of the AFB personnel made this event a very special day for all attendees and a different and patriotic opportunity for car enthusiast.
