Who is EMC2? We are a non-profit MINI Car Club based in the Southern Willamette Valley. Our website is up and running (http://emeraldmc2.com/). By non-profit, I mean that we do not charge any dues or fees to join.
Right now, our website doesn't have a lot of content on it as I've been working on a new design/layout (it is actually very sparse at the moment as I put content back into it). Over the next 2-4 weeks I should be able to fill it out with more content. I will be adding in a photo gallery and other components soon.
Our website is a community website, what does this mean? It means that our members can easily submit content and have it published on the site!
We should have group events every couple of months....all are invited! We are a group of MINI enthusiasts who enjoy getting together and sharing our love of MINIs.

Congratulations, Gary. Glad to see you got a group started up there. Hopefully, you'll be able to get some of us Douglas County drivers to return the favor of having you come down here and we'll be able to join you on some of your runs.
I see it didn't take the Mini lawyers long to see your logo and give you a friendly suggestion to come up with a new one.

Thanks John! That would be fantastic, I will of course send out messages when we have any upcoming runs and of course I'll continue to activately participate in the UmpquaMini group.
Actually, I knew the logo was probably trademarked which is why I submitted my idea to them before I ever put it up on the site or used it. I don't know if they ever would have found out about the usage of it but I thought it would was a much safer idea to do the CYA thing.

Yes, that would be fantastic if they did, but I doubt they will. I probably should get around to sending in the application for PDX MINI that I have . I think it is always a good idea when neighboring clubs have close relationships with each other .

Hey, join the club. I sent in my application in October, since they have a carryover policy during the last three months of the year.
The PDX club is supposed to be planning a "Ring of Fire" tour next summer with the northern California group. Would include the dormant volcanos of northern California, Oregon and Washington.
Gary, I've seen that you've mentioned the AMVIV meet; have you also given consideration to the Magical Mystery Mini Tour in San Francisco next September? I'm interested in that one.
Still getting use to my new Mini, I'll be watching out for upcoming events!
Our next group event is tentatively scheduled for Sat. June 21st. If you haven't joined our Yahoo Group please visit our public site and follow the link to join the group.
We are looking forward to seeing you for future events!
Cheers!
Gary

I should be receiving our first batch of window stickers and grille badges the middle of next week. Shoot me an email or PM if you are interested in purchasing one or both of them.
I'm also investigating a couple of companies to provide us with club apparel. One company is in Maryland and the other is in Eugene. I haven't gotten any details from the Eugene company yet but I'd prefer to give the business to a local company. I should be able to provide additional information within a week or two.
