Meet & Greet Time

Sometimes when the cars need a rest, or we just need a respite from driving them, we like to do dinner with friends, a yard party, an outting in the park, an Amtrak road trip, camping for a weekend, or other pleasantries with our friends. If you don't find something you like here, we're always open to suggestions for more fun.

Meetings - Events - Newsletter

The club meets on the third Monday of each month at Mack's Golden Pheasant in Elmhurst, IL (just west of Route 83 on North Avenue (Rt-64) at 8:00 P.M.   Come early for dinner or chat.   Natter & Noggin is held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:30 P.M., currently meeting at various locations.

CMGC and VMGCC
joint MG Holiday Party

December 12, 2009
at Elmcrest Banquets by Biancalana - Phone 708 453 3989
7370 W Grand Ave. - Elmwood Park, IL 60707 - (click for map)

The Chicagoland MG Club and the Vintage MG Car Club of Chicago are working together again for the 2009 Chicagoland MG Holiday Party. Can you think of a better way to start the Holiday Season than to enjoy a couple of drinks, dinner, some gifts, and maybe even another performance of the Abingdon Players together with all of your Chicago MG friends?
The party will be on Saturday December 12, 2008 at 6:30 PM at Elmcrest Banquets by Biancalana's, 7370 W Grand Avenue, Elmwood Park IL 60707 -- 708-453-3989. There is valet parking at the facilities parking lot, right across the street. Please note that unlike many, many previous years, this is not the first but the second Saturday in December.
The cost for members of both clubs is the same at $28/person, and both clubs will subsidize the evening a little bit. The Cash Bar will open at 6:30 and dinner will be served at 7:30. Dinner is the same for all and includes soup and salad for starters, followed by pasta, then chicken and beef with potatoes and vegetables for the family style main course, and Italian ice cream for desert. Please mark the registration form for the vegetarian option.
After the dinner we'll have an, optional, gift exchange. We encourage every guest to bring a small MG or Holiday gift (there is no real minimum or maximum but about $10 is a good guideline) When you bring a MG or Holiday gift, you are also getting one from a fellow member. The order of selecting will be determined by drawing raffle tickets. There will also be some small items provided by the clubs for those who are unable to bring a personal gift.
And last but not least, we may again see the Abingdon Players and Singing Magnettes. They had spectacular performances with great audience participation in 2007 and 2008, and hopefully an Elmwood Park engagement can be arranged again for this year.
After the formal program you are also invited to join us at TJ's Halftime, a small sports bar just down the road. It is only 1 mile west of Elmcrest on Grand Avenue (but the name of the town changes to River Grove) The designated driver of each vehicle should be able to find a parking spot at their lot. TJ's Halftime, 8166 Grand Avenue, River Grove, IL 60171, phone 708 453 8686.
Please send in the reservation form [below] to the address listed (along with the check) before Saturday November 28, 2009. And don't forget the mark your club association; Vintage MG Car Club of Chicago, Chicago MG Club, or both and check the box if you want the vegetarian menu option.
