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.

CMMC Spring Forward Drive March 9th

WRAPUP: A total of over 50 MINIs from the Chicago MINI Motoring Club and the MilwaukeeMINIs invaded the Lake Geneva area. We explored a few twisty back roads, and had a great time despite the not so spring-like weather. Francis raised quite a bit of money in Tom’s name with the MINIs Motoring Against Cancer banner, and associated raffle.

Huge thanks to Kevin, Dan, and Laurel from Knauz for opening up shop on an early Sunday morning and providing coffee and donuts to the caffeine and sugar deprived, Theresa from the MilwaukeeMINIs for teaming up with us, and to Dustin for planning the route and providing giveaways.

Please forward a link to your pictures to steve@chicagominiclub.com, and I will add them here..
