The Northern California Dodge Brothers and Sisters has over 240 members. We are a loosely knit group of old car enthusiasts. The following list is of the members who organize and attend a schedule of tours and outings. If you would like to become a member of this group, you can contact Tom Barham at (925) 934-7318 or email Tom at dbbros@AOL.com. If you wish to receive the newsletter on a regular basis, a small stipend to cover the materials and postage is required ($20/year). Please read the last Newsletter of 2009 for more information as to how we intend to conduct business in 2010 and beyond. You do NOT have to own a Dodge Brothers vehicle (running or not) - all you have to do is have a curious interest in these particular vehicles
Tom and Sharon Barham
Tom is one of the organizer of the group and publishes a newsletter on a "demand" schedule. He also publishes a Dodge Brothers owner's roster once per year on a voluntary basis.
