Greetings from the new guy.
I sat across from Olivia at Zeeks the other night. I'm still unsure if it's possible to pay my club membership in time for this event. Can that be done on Saturday prior to starting the drive? I don't mind paying an additional $25. To attend, even though I'm allergic to alcohol, and don't care much for chocolate, but would enjoy getting to know the attendees, and visit an area I've yet to explore. My 2010 clubman is in need of a good run as well. Is it possible to hear back from someone with answers to my queries? That'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks for creating a dynamic and informative association! Cheers, Michael |

Hi Michael!
You do not need to pay your membership dues to join us! Please do come out. Let me know if you plan on joining us for lunch too as our rallye master is trying to get a headcount. |

Thanks for the good news my friend.
I'll be there! My employee also has an R-55, and had that look of surprised disappointment when I reported how much fun the event at Zeeks was the other night. I'll ask him if he wants to attend as well. |
