Dear all MINI Club of Calgary members,

Winter has arrived in Calgary at full force it seems, and we are getting closer and closer to Christmas. It has been an interesting year, especially for our fine club. We had our largest event ever, with 92 cars present to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of MINI, in support of the YWCA. As we enter the Christmas season, the MINI Club of Calgary is once again supporting the YWCA with our "Stuff a MINI Campaign"

Stuff a MINI 2009

On November 21st, we kicked off the Stuff a MINI drive at Crowfoot MINI. The goal - to stuff as many MINIs as we can in support of those in need at the YWCA. This year we are looking for gifts that nourish, suitable for children aged 0 - 14. For a list of suitable gifts, please visit:
Stuff a MINI Gifts
On December 19, the club will be gathering at MINI Crowfoot once again to deliver the toys to the YWCA. Please come out and join us.

MINI Club of Calgary 2010 Calendars

The Calendars are ready! These 13 month calendars are for sale for only $15, with all proceeds going to support club activities. These are great stocking stuffers, and we will have them at the Stuff a MINI Drive on Dec 19 as well.
We also have lots of other Club Gear that would make great stocking stuffers, such as Grill badges, flags, T-Shirts, Car Decals, etc

Next Meeting

Our next club meeting will be January 20th. We are still looking for new meeting spots, so if you have ideas, post them on our forum.

Group buys

As always, we are trying to leverage the great size of our club to help save some money for cool MINI stuff. There are a few group buys being started, and can be seen on our website. If you are interested in one of them, go ahead and sign up. They will be ending soon, in order to try and get stuff before Christmas. There will be more though, and if you are interested in something, post it up, as I'm sure others will be too.
Some of the items for group buy include:
- Classic MINI 2GB USB flash drives.
- FES-Auto window and cabrio auto-open circuits (or whatever else they have).
- Wet-Okole Car seat covers.

MINI Club Newsletter

In the new year we will be starting a newsletter, and featuring some club members, and club happenings. We are always open to individuals who want to help out. Look for it in the new year!

Well that is it for the Winter update. We hope you are staying safe in snow, and have a wonderful Holiday season!
Regards,
MINI Club of Calgary.
