Two VW owners, Doug mcMasters and Tom Johnston were officers of a local car club. The two of them were interested in finding out about a club, that focused on Volkwagens, to participate in. There was a local VW club
with just a few members listed on the roster at that time. When Johnston and McMasters attended their first meeting they quickly realized how unorganized and uninterested the members were. McMasters and Johnston, interested and determined to have a Volkswagen club, decided that htey would take the old one over adn rejuvenate it's interest. It was important for the club to have a new name. A reputation for a club comes greatly through word of mouth, and is how most people find out about and judge clubs. The new name was a crucial part in establishing a new reputation for the club. And in May 1987 the "Volkwagens Enthusiasts of Colorado" club was born. The club slogan was determined through means of a contest. The winner was a gentlman who came up with a Colroado license plate design that read VWEN2ZS. The beginning membershiop was between ten to fifteen peoople and by October of that first year it had grown to twenty-seven members. This growth indicated that there was an interest for a club and people were responding. Now, towards the end of 1994 there are only one or two of the original members left but the numbers have grown substantially. And as Tom Johnston says "it was just a whim that got it started."
