The Chicago MINI Motoring Club would would like to bestow the honorary
position of Club Road Warrior upon Conrad Alexander in recognition of all
the behind the scenes work that he has done over the years to help out our
club.
Conrad has provided a tremendous amount of planning and logistics
assistance on a number of our longer drives including many of the Starved
Rock drives, both MINI Takes the States events, and the Kings Island
event. Conrad has also worked as a liason with the MINI dealerships to
help make arrangements for event starts.
Fun fact: Conrad was the very first club member to join using our PO box
way back in 2003!
Conrad can be reached via e-mail to RoadWarrior@chicagominiclub.com

WRAPUP: Almost 40 cars and over 70 people participated in the best Starved Rock event yet. We had participants from as far away as Wisconsin and Peoria including many new people, and lots of old MINI friends. The day started out sunny and warm-ish but got much colder and more blustery as the day progressed. A mid-point lunch spot provided a nice break and a chance to socialize. The second leg backroad route took us past cornfields and more than a few twisty bits. There was a bit of dodging and weaving around fallen branches from the high winds that passed through. Several people braved the weather at the park and took the trek up to the summit of Starved Rock.
Huge thanks to Dustin Krause from Bill Jacobs MINI for opening up on a Sunday, and providing the Donuts and meeting spot. Thanks also to the many people who helped to make this another home run caliber event including Cathy and Gary, Conrad, Kevin and Arnie!!
Please send links to pictures (but not actual pictures) to steve@chicagominiclub.com and I will post them here to share.

WRAPUP: Over 100 Milwaukee and Chicago club members met for a fantastic baseball event!! 20-somthing MINIs met early in the morning at Knauz MINI for some coffee, donuts, bagels and hanging out time. We then headed up the expressway to meet up with the MilwaukeeMINIs. We all took a short drive, and got into Miller Stadium parking area more or less together for a really great catered cookout or grilling on our own. After that we headed in to the park to watch the game. One club member snagged a foul ball, and one caught a flying cell phone from the balcony above us. Final score, the MilwaukeeMINIs and Chicago MINI Motoring Club won (as did the Brewers).
Huge thanks to Theresa for all the planning, as well as purchasing the tickets way back in March so we could have this event, and Knauz MINI for opening up on a Sunday and bringing in the food!!
If anyone has pictures of the game, please send a link (but not the actual photos) to steve@chicagominiclub.com and I will put them here..
