News from the Prez

January marks the beginning of another year of good times with my Miata and fellow Miataphiles.

In 2003, as your new President, I hope to help us all discover even more fun times together. Many of you know how much I enjoy driving "Gina", my '01 Classic Red LS/6 - so don't be surprised to find more driving events - easy cruises and spirited runs, short morning outings, day events and possibly a weekend excursion -- it all depends on what you members want and who will step forward to host each activity, with mentoring support from experienced run leaders always on call if needed. I've rolled up 19,000 miles on Gina during this last year, the vast majority of which has been on fun events with Delta Miata Club and other clubs throughout the state and I hope to bring that experience back into Delta during this upcoming year.

I look forward to working with Mary Diamond as our Vice President/ Secretary - she brings enthusiasm and creativity with her new role. Linda Derby will pick up the financial reins as Treasurer, an important role for a club with a small budget such as ours. Bob Retzer's continuing role as Membership/PR Director will help Delta Miata Club attract new members and also stay in touch with national Miata activities, vendors and other supporters. Our important volunteer positions, such as Bonni Weatherwax as Tech Director and WebMistress, as well as Bob's role as Editor of our monthly newsletter, will continue to bring us useful and interesting information as the year progresses.

Your board will be working behind the scenes to help keep the Club moving smoothly forward, but we depend on suggestions, guidance and feedback from all Club members to determine the directions the Club will take. I hope to enhance our communications this year through easier access to email (for those who wish to receive it) and fax/phones as needed to get the word out quickly regarding upcoming events and other Club activities.

But it's up to all of us to continue making Delta Miata Club a fun and worthwhile club in which to share the fun of our Miatas. I look forward to working with each and every member during these next 12 months of twisty roads, new destination discoveries, parties, dinners, good friendship and interesting events for all.
