Key Takeaways from the 2025 Annual Planning Meeting
Officer & Staff resignations needing to be refilled: President (Bill Bright), Secretary (Jan Bright), VP North (Dan Dallich). The rest of the Officers ran for re-election. Historian (Don McCann) also resigned and needs to be replaced.
Various ideas were discussed to increase member involvement such as increasing the number of winter events, have events for new members. Having more drives/events on Sundays received positive feedback.
The 35th Anniversary was very successful. About $1400 was collected by the Silent Auction. A donor to the Wisconsin Humane Society tripled our contribution of $725 to bring the donation to $2175!
We created a new Officer position titled VP Motorsports. Mark Mrozek was elected to this position.
Don Jones showed the Minnesota Miata Club website on a TV. The BMC voted to create a new website through the same company that created the Minnesota website at a cost under $3000 (after approval of the budget).
New Officers include President-Don Jones, Secretary-Cari Zorns, VP North-Mike Stratz.
Don Jones will store the hard-copy scrapbooks until someone volunteers to digitize them, as Don McCann is no longer able to do this. No one volunteered for the Historian position.
