A MESSAGE FROM THE NEW BOARD PRESIDENT

Hello! As the newly minted president of the Vancouver MINI Cooper Club, I would like to to take this opportunity to welcome back existing members as well as extend a warm welcome to those new 2010 and 2011 MINI owners.

With our recent AGM behind us, we've set several goals for the club going into 2011:

1) Increase participation and membership.
2) Plan and participate in interesting events
3) Provide value to our members
4) Have Fun!

With the holiday season upon us, we've already put out thinking caps on for ways we can hit these goals!

Watch for regular updates, here on the VMCC Blog, and on the VMCC Messageboard.

In closing I would like to take this opportunity to thank our 2010 executive for their contribution in guiding the club last year. We're all busy folks - but if you want something done, ask a busy MINI owner!
