Driving Events
This year’s driving events are being scheduled in anticipation for a better year. The schedule so far has dates for Lake County Fun Run (June 6), NAMGBR 2021 Convention (June 14-17), Blackhawk Farms Raceway outing (July 5), Westmont Cruise Nite (mid-August), Lagrange Pet Parade (September 18) and Halloween Rally (mid-October). The Arlington Park outing is still tentatively planned for late July or early August.
Old Business.
CMGC Website – Progress has been made and a trial mockup is being generated and tested. Wild Apricot is the vendor selected for managing the website. The trial includes testing registration, upcoming events and creating links to the current technical website.
New Business
In-person Club Meetings - Discussion on reestablishing future club meetings in-person at a new venue. The past venue – Mack’s Golden Pheasant – does not appear to be reopening. A video vote was taken and was almost unanimous to utilize Perry’s Pizza Joynt for future meetings. Phil Wydra will contact the establishment to confirm.
Natter N Noggin’ – Participation has dwindled for the past year and a discussion regarding the need for two alternating sites. The suggestion of having one session on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at Finn McCool's Irish Sports Pub Schaumburg. Dave Bralich volunteered to host the event.
Garage Tour – It was noted that one of the events that hasn’t been organized for several years was the Garage Tour. Walt Kreitling will investigate.
With no further business to discuss, meeting closed at 8:39 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Victor L’Heureux,
CMGC Secretary
