We need run leaders for our Hop, Skip, and a Brew for MAR/APR/MAY and an Open Run Leader for APR. If you have never been a run leader, let us know you want to do one and we can help you set it all up. You can also talk to us during one of our scheduled runs in February (2). There is also a runs repository where you can select a route of your choice at: https://dcmetrominis.org/forum/forum/28-run-route-repository/ Remember, runs don't happen without all our participation. It isn't hard to do, and others will pitch in during the drive. It's a lot of fun having many MINIs in your review mirror. Just drop us a line. You won't be disappointed.

Sounds great. I am sure Corey will be fine. I will just update the listing above using the 14th. Thanks again and good luck on your exam this weekend.

I guess you have Corey on this to ask him if it is okay to take the run over. I will put you down for the Mistress Run (Open Event) in the listing above for February. I wasn't sure which day you wanted to do it (14th is Valentines Day, so the 15th?) Also, do you want to create the event on the Events page or do you want me to create it using the 22FEB25 Mistress Run event? Thank you for doing an event. I will put you down for the Run for the Roses (Open Event) in the listing above for 16MAY26. Also, do you want to create the event on the Events page or do you want me to create it using the 13MAY23 Run for the Roses event? Thank you for doing a run and we will see if anyone wants to continue the Great Falls run.

Will do. Thank you Eli!

As we begin the New Year, we all need to think about what kind of 2026 driving season we want as a club. In this pursuit, DCMM is providing a link to a questionnaire that requests what types of events, etc. you may want for 2026. We will continue our member Hop, Skip, and a Brew runs (hour long sprint to a brewery or winery) as well as our Open Runs (Ice Cream Run, Mistress Run, Little Virginia Town Tours, etc.). But what else do members want from the Club and what do you want to give to others in pursuit of all things MINI (run leader, event planner, etc.)? Please use this link to the questionnaire and let us know your thoughts. It is your club and we want to provide events you want to attend. https://forms.gle/AjRWKQzAexdtcwwz8
