What is ECV?MEMBERSstoreKJPS


Welcome to the E Clampus Vitus®-Squibob Chapter Web Site!
San Diego County  *  Imperial County  *   Baja California

“E Clampus Vitus®” and “ECV®” are registered trademarks of E Clampus Vitus®, Inc. and are used by expressed permission. All Rights are reserved.
E Clampus Vitus® is a non-profit, men's fraternal organization, currently involved in humanitarian and public help programs while maintaining a steadfast program of historical preservation. The history of E Clampus Vitus® involves an old organization of the same name, started in the Ol' West's gold rush era and revitalized about 1931 at the Clift Hotel in San Francisco and now encompassing Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Washington DC, and in the near future, Washington and Oregon States.

The prime requisites to becoming a Clamper are a sense of humor, an interest in Western history, an open mind, and a cast iron stomach. If a man has those qualities, and strikes up a friendship with a Clamper or two, he may find himself taken in to (and by) the Ancient and Honorable Order. But one can't simply walk up and say, "Can I be a Clamper?" It is for the Brethren of ECV® to invite prospective members to join. And if a man is asked, he should know that the invitation is only given once. If it is refused, it is never tendered again. But a man of any intelligence and character so invited would hardly be likely to turn down such a signal honor. And remember, as the Brethren of E Clampus Vitus® maintain, Clampers are not made, they're born. Like gold, they just have to be discovered.

 Bring your 4x4 vehicles out for a fun weekend of desert off-roading and ECV merriment!

Highway 8 Clean-up Saturday, March 20th. Meet at the La Posta Café, La Posta, CA at 8:00 am for breakfast and dis-organization

The last Highway Clean-up only had 8 Red Shirts show up. It really works best with at least twice that number so that we have four guys per mile (I have equipment for 22). We are finished by 11:00. Please RSVP and come out to help with our civic pride project.

Take Interstate 8 to the Kitchen Creek/Cameron Corners exit, 1 exit east of Buckman Springs Rd. Go south then east one mile to the La Posta Café.

Wear long pants & sturdy shoes/boots. Gloves, vest, hats, water & refreshments, and equipment provided. Kids 16 or older welcomed.

Questions?  Call XNGH Larry Van Rickley for more info.

FROM THE DESK OF NGH ANDY...

Brothers of Squibob Chapter,

Over 150 redshirt brethren and guests attended the recent RESCUE 6015 (“Eddie’s Lost Legion Escapade”), held at American Legion Post #853 in Borrego Springs. An emphatic ‘SATISFACTORY’ goes out to 1st VNGH Ed “Captain Cactus” Ketchem for organizing a get weekend, as well as to our fantastic hosts at the American Legion. Thanks also to our Lost Leaders (Dennis Calton, Dennis Spelts, Bob Stuckey, XNGH Doogie Teasley and others), for a series of great 4x4 runs on Friday and Saturday.

Coming up next will be the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, to be held on Saturday, March 13th in the Banker’s Hill section of San Diego. Squibob Chapter has been a participant in this parade since the beginning. Our Prayed Organator, Mike ‘O’Neville, will be emailing information on the time to gather to get our vintage Seagrave fire engine all spruced up and ready for this grand occasion. Erin go braugh!

The first of our highway cleanups for 2010 will take place on Saturday, March 20th. Highway Bossman, XNGH Larry Van Rickley says to have everyone meet at the La Posta Café in Pine Valley at 8:00a (earlier, if you want breakfast). Be watching for more information from Larry in the coming days.

Be watching your mailboxes very soon for flyers for the 2010 Squibob 4x4 Extravaganza, to be held March 26-28 at the famous EGL Ranch in Imperial County. Squibob Big Wheel, XNGH John “Five Hats” Eugenio promises a fun weekend with some great runs for all skill levels.

Our Spring Clampout will be upon us soon as well. Please join us at Ocotillo on April 24-26 for what is shaping up to be a really fantastic weekend. Plans are being finalized to dedicate a moment to noted archaeologist Jay von Werlhof. Brother Jay was a member of Squibob Chapter and was also the person whose vision and efforts led to the formation of the Desert Museum at Ocotillo. Lost leaders Dennis Spelts and Bob Stuckey are planning a great 4x4 run across the Yuha Basin for those arriving early. And there are many other things planned as well – watch for your flyer arriving soon!
