President’s Message – July2024

How did July sneak up on us so fast?  These past six months have gone by quicker than usual, and I am thinking many may agree with us.  It seems a lot of club members have been enjoying some wonderful vacations to some faraway places.  We were gone for one month enjoying a trip to Europe, a first transatlantic adventure for us.

Even if we are not in our beloved little cars, it is good for us to enjoy all the wonderful adventures we can. “Life is about the adventures you take, and the memories you make. So, travel often, live life with open eyes and an open heart.”  (Unknown)

We hope everyone is making plans to celebrate Independence Day, and to take a moment to remember how young and fragile our democracy is.  America will celebrate its 248th birthday as independence was achieved from Great Britain following the Revolutionary War. The founding fathers signed this declaration on July 4, 1776.

Please mark your calendar and come out for our coffee social, the second Saturday of every month. The group of attendees is getting larger, and it is a good way to make and deepen friendships with club members.  Also mark your calendar for our July 16th event. This is a first of a kind for us personally. Bill Emerson, a Florida Miata enthusiast, will be meeting with our club, making a presentation, and having dinner with us on his 9000+ mile trip circumnavigating the USA in his 1999 Miata. He should be quite interesting.

Zoom Zoom!

President’s Message – September 2019

Welcome to September! Our Labor Day celebrations remind us fall is just around the corner. As we reluctantly say goodbye to summer, we need to remember that we’re heading for the peak portion of our hurricane season. As I mentioned last year, it is the perfect time to make sure that we have our hurricane preparedness plans in place and ready to…
