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

Club member Taylor has started a Chicago MINI Motoring Club group on the linkedin professional networking site.
If you are a CMMC member feel free to drop by and join. The link to do this is: http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/59613/55076D56E121
We may have to check your name briefly against our current membership list (we’ve had a few odd people ask to sign up from far far away) but the goal of the group is simply to be an informal professional networking group.
