2018 will be the 25th Anniversary of the Cape Fear Miata Club. We need to start thinking of what we can do to recognize our Club’s grand accomplishment. Your ideas/comments are welcomed. Paul Reinmann has already offered some suggestions via an e-mail he sent me which I will put forward at the next Quarterly General Membership Meeting.
In 2017 to-date we have gained 16 new memberships (29 members). See the list of new members under the New Members Column. I believe the credit for the gain in new memberships can be attributed to the success of the Coffee Socials held on the first Saturday of the month at Bitty & Beau’s. In 2016 prior to the Coffee Socials I believe we gained only two new memberships.
Thank you Rick and Judy Judson for bringing this suggestion to the Executive Board to have a Coffee Social each month to help raise awareness of what the CFMC has to offer for the southeastern Carolina Miata community. Bravo!
