From: Vancouver MINI Cooper Club
To: All Members

Dear Vancouver MINI Cooper Club Member:

Happy New -Vancouver MINI Cooper Club- Year!

Thank you for your current and past membership in the Vancouver MINI Cooper Club (hereinafter called VMCC). Without enthusiastic MINI drivers like you, this club and the gusto for driving and living the MINI-lifestyle wouldn’t exist.

Some highlights of events we enjoyed during 2010:

1. The 2010 Classic All British Field Meet at beautiful Van Dusen Gardens where VMCC members took home the hardware and awards for their shiny Coopers and Clubman vehicles.

2. VMCC members “crossed the line,” joining 35 MINI friends of the Puget Sound MINI club for a spirited interclub day trip to Mount Baker, WA, starting in sunshine and ending up at the top surrounded by snow banks!

3. Our ‘Almost to Harrison Run; took us along country back roads of the eastern Fraser valley, where we made it ‘almost to Harrison’ before stopping for a great pub luncheon with old and new friends.

4. We capped 2010 with a fabulous drive to Whistler, highlighted by our ‘colour coordinated’ picture stop at Porteau Cove and a scrumptious meal in the village. The new whistler highway was a dream to ‘MINI’!

5. The new club executive has a full schedule of events planned for 2011 including several social, driving, track and road trip events to the interior and even to the southern USA. We’ve also renewed our partnership with MINI Canada and are pleased to announce several exclusive discounts and sponsorship deals, exclusive savings only available to paid-up VMCC members.
