Presidents Message

Not yet!  March is here and with it, St. Patrick’s Day and the much awaited coming of spring.  We’ve been teased lately with spring-like weather, but the 70- and 80-degree temperatures that have blessed our area for the past couple of weeks are premature  As any native North Carolinian knows, when March comes in like…

Hello February! The new year of 2023 is well underway. Although we’re in the midst of winter, spring is less than two months away. The CFMC has lots of great events and activities in mind for this year. We started the year with a very well-attended holiday party and annual meeting on Sunday, January 8. …

Happy New Year!  As 2022 fades in the rear view mirror, we look forward to what 2023 might bring.  As far as the Cape Fear Miata Club, 2023 represents our 30th year as a club.  Many things have changed over the past 30 years but a constant of our club have been the hallmarks of…

Welcome to December along with winter’s official arrival on the 21st. Remember that the days’ daylight hours start to become longer on that day as well!  What a year it has been.  But is it really almost over?  Believe it or not, we’re heading into the final days of 2022.  As we look back on…

As we enter into the final two months of 2022, we begin to plan for the upcoming holidays and the hustle and bustle that they entail.  It also offers us in the CFMC time to look back on the year and forward to what we want to accomplish in the year ahead.  We will begin…

October brings us to the final quarter of 2022.  I had to stop and think about that before I mentioned it in this month’s column.  We welcome the cooler nights and milder days that tease us before the colder realities of November and December arrive. I hope that everyone survived hurricane Ian and its impacts.…

Is summer really almost over? As Labor Day approaches, we make plans to celebrate our last holiday of the summer season. The coming days bring later sunrises, earlier sunsets, moderating temperatures, and hopefully, lower humidity. As I have mentioned in my previous columns, we are in the peak of hurricane season here in southeast North…

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable July 4th holiday.  Historically, we are in the latter half of summer.  The waning of visits and vacations and the Labor Day weekend is just a month away.  It is also important to remember that the height of hurricane season in our area runs from late August…

Well, one half of 2022 is in the books.  Summer is in full swing, and our thoughts turn to warm (hot!) days, visitors (lots of them), trips to the beaches, and the other beckoning attractions in our area. But don’t forget to be prepared for our unscheduled visitors; hurricanes.  Make sure to have those preparation…

Welcome to June and the arrival of hurricane season, Flag Day, Father’s Day, and the first official day of summer.   We also welcome the thousands of visitors, family and friends to our area who will make southeastern NC their temporary home for a portion of the next three months.  I want to use this month’s…
