Secretary’s Column

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!
