The MADMEN Odometer – January 2013

MADMEN started off the new year by being contacted by reps from MINI of Tucson! Your co-chairs had a meeting with members of the marketing department which went very well. We discussed the makeup of the DMC, the functions of the officers and of the chapters and the goals of the club. The dealership will be opening soon, projection is March, and we will be involved in the planned events for the grand opening as well as partnering for future events. They are very excited to help us increase our membership and some of the perks for us will be a discount on accessories, First Saturday Coffee Chat at the dealership, use of meeting room, promotion of the club with our flyers to new owners as well as partnering with us in some of our events.

Mini Munchies was at Mays Counter Chicken and Waffles and everybody agreed it was fantastic. Mays also serves breakfast and we will definitely be returning, for dinner as well as breakfast. We were joined by 2 of the sales reps from MINI of Tucson.

Last Saturday of the Month Breakfast was at Millie’s Pancake Haus. The decor is Old Country Grandma and she still had her Christmas decorations up but since it was cold and rainy it was the perfect vibe. The food was delicious and the company was great. Afterwards several of us drove out to Saguaro National Park East and had a nice, but wet, drive through the park. it was too wet to stop and do any walking but enjoyable nonetheless.

February will find us putting on some miles as we head out of this world as our MiNis Invade Roswell New Mexico for A MiNi Abduction-Roswell February 15-18. We will be leaving Friday afternoon and coming back on Monday. Our trip will include a visit to Carlsbad Caverns as well.

February 23 after our Last Saturday Breakfast we will be making a drive to Maricopa Arizona to visit a Dwarf Car Museum.
