Steak and Beans

A little competition never hurt anyone.  For the month of July the newly appointed manager John Vanwieringen at the Truck Center challenged Tom Rebek manager of the Main Store to a friendly wager.

Whoever sold the most cars between the two locations would eat a steak dinner while the other ate beans.  A bet was set and as July came to a close the thought of steak was on the minds for many of the sales people.

Tom Rebek and the Main Store which consisted of Scott Ledford, Dale Dunks, Chris Streuli, Shar Phillips and Sal Roccaforte won the wager.  Alan Gamblin hosted the dinner at his home where he served steak to the victors.  While the main store ate steak the Truck Center crew got a hearty helping of beans.

The Winners get Steak!

Nice Evening Eating Steak and Beans

Enumclaw Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament

Enumclaw Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament

Art Gamblin Motors participated in the 2011 Enumclaw Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament at Enumclaw Golf Course on August 3, 2011.  The weather could not have been better for the event.  The Chamber of Commerce announced it was the largest turnout for the tournament on record.  It was a Shotgun Start with about 30+ teams.

Team Gamblin Motors consisted of Tyson Gamblin, Teddy Sherwood, Jaren Jokela and John Vanwieringen.  The fearsome foursome started on the par 3 3rd hole.  Teddy Sherwood wanted to thank the Chamber of Commerce for putting team Gamblin Motors right behind the Fugate Ford Team.  Teddy said that driving into the competition wasn’t a bad thing nor on purpose.  Teddy was the long man of the day as he won the long drive competition on the Par 4 11th hole.

Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet

It has been well over 30+ years since the Chevrolet commercial that had everyone singing Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet.  A lot has changed since the 1970’s but baseball is still America’s past time and Chevrolet is still alive and kicking.  Over the years Chevrolet has been a proud sponsor of baseball from the highest level all the way down to the little leagues.  The tradition continues as Chevrolet has donated money to little leagues all over the country part of the Youth Baseball Sweepstakes.

Art Gamblin Motors had the opportunity to present the Chinook Little League in Enumclaw with a $500 check at their Jamboree April 17, 2010.  John VanWieringen and Tyson Gamblin were excited to be part of Chinook Little Leagues opening ceremonies to kick off the little leagues 2010 season.  Along with the $500 check Chevrolet is sponsoring a raffle where little leaguers will be selling tickets for a chance to win a brand new Chevy.  It is a nation-wide drawing and tickets are only $5.  All the proceeds go directly to the Chinook Little League.

The Chinook Little League has the opportunity to earn as much as $10,000 via raffle sales!  Not only are the raffle tickets good for a chance to win a new Chevrolet, but the raffle tickets are valid for $5 off an oil change at Art Gamblin Motors Quick Lube.

The Chinook Little League was very thankful for their $500 check from Chevrolet and excited to participate in the Chevrolet Youth Baseball Sweepstakes.  It was a nice day out and it was a great day for baseball.  So next time you see your little neighbor outside with his glove and ball ask him about the raffle.
