Hello Everyone,

Well, now that two major events have been finished in the area (Bucks County and Downtown Philadelphia) and another is now in the works (Cape May & Delaware), CooperSQT and I thought it would be a good idea to start pulling together an impromptu group of area Enthusiasts, and use the Yahoo Groups to send out reminders, take polls and structure monthly MINI Meets.

We're thinking that it doesn't need to be a formally structured MINI Club, with dues, Boards, etc., but just a place for people specifically in the Philly area (NJ, PA, DE and MD if you're inclined) to gather and meet.

One of the key benefits of using the Yahoo Groups is that, once you sign-in, it automatically sends you reminders of up-coming events.

In addition, people can take the lead and pick a Diner near their home, and coordinate the run, or come up with other creative ideas!

So, our thought is to start coordinating monthly impromptu Diner Drives. Simple gatherings at a local Diner (Diners change each month) to get together for dinner and an early evening drive.

In addition, we'll also check all the threads from MCO, MINI2, MINIUSA and Roadfly and make sure those are put into the calendars as well, so everyone can get the reminders.

So, starting in October, we'd like to start the following:

MINI Monday Diner Drives - meeting once a month on the first Monday of each month.

Sign up at the following link:

Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon!!

Cheers,

Scott (and Julie, AKA CooperSQT in absentia!)

 

Hey Scott, count me in.

I've just signed up. Time to dust off the old Yahoo account!

A.

 

Scott and Julie, that's a great idea. I'll sign up, but unfortunately I work most evenings (Mondays especially), so I prolly won't be able to do the Diner thing. I'm a weekend MINI warrior

 

Hey Kim,

You aren't a MINI Warrior, you're a MINI Godess!!!

Hey, you may miss the MINI Mondays, but there will be PLENTY of week-end activities, and maybe a few other week-nights!!

Hope everything is OK in the household!

Will you be coming down for the Cape May Rally in October??? Hmmmm....

PS, thanks for adding two more of my photos to your SIG!!! Now (blushing!) I am truly honored!!!

Cheers.

Scott

Here's my favorite warrior goddess: Kali. And that's a BMWNA lawyer under her foot, not Shiva.

I wondered when you were gonna notice my signature pics. What can I say? Those are the 3 best pics of HARMINI I've ever seen. Kudos to the photographer.

 

Hey Guys, this sounds good to me. I've just signed up. I can't always get out on the weekends for the big events, but Monday nights are almost never a problem for me. I look forward to it, hope more folks come around to the idea.

Well Everyone,

In less than two weeks, more than 47 of our closest and dearest MINIacs in the Delaware Valley have already signed up!!!

COOL!!!

Julie and I want at least 100 of you all to join up (more would be FAB!)! Check out the Calendar, already lots of things in the works for the fall!! Go to the database to register for the Cape May Ferry (Ded GRL's event!), have all the local events from here listed (except VolperCooper's, just listed it today, GREAT idea!), and a special Holiday Event being cooked up!!!

Cheers.

Scott
