Superdawg Cruise 04/18

Wrapup: The predicted bad weather held off, and it was a beautiful night for a get-together. We had over 30 cars meet up for a short casual drive, and we were joined by a bunch more at Superdawg. There were lots of newer and prospective members, a few people who haven’t been out to an event in quite some time, and also many who attend lots of events. There was plenty of time to socialize as well as time to hang out and check out all the newer R56’s, a Clubman and a fabulous classic. Big thanks to Arnie for helping make arrangements with Superdawg to allow us to take over their place for the evening.

CMMC Linkedin group

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.

CMMC thanks Dustin for his service…

And looks forward to seeing him at Windy City Miata Club AutoX events.  Dustin Etheredge has resigned from the board of CMMC to pursue his passion for AutoX.  He will be working with the WCMC AutoX Team this season.  Look for info about the season and special MINI Cooper classes on NAM
WCMC will also offer a Car Control Clinic more details to follow soon. Dustin continues to offer CMMC members a 10% discount on any parts at www.AutoXCooper.com

We would like to Thank Dustin for the countless hours invested to create some of our clubs biggest and best events over the last 18 month.
