SCMM’s 4th Annual ALL-MINI/Mini Car Show

Time:
Saturday, June 11 ยท 8:00am – 12:30pm

Location:
Enderle Center, 17th St & Yorba, Tustin

When:
June 11th– 8 a.m. til 12:30 p.m.

Where:
Enderle Center, 17th St & Yorba, Tustin

It’s that time again…..give your MINI its spring detailing and plan to attend!

Once again it will be a $10 per car entry fee….which goes 1/2 to our chosen charity and 1/2 to our club treasury. This year’s charity is very close to home — through the Talbert Family Foundation, we will be supporting Elijah’s Fund. Elijah is the three-year-old son of SCMM members Brad and Karin Herman. Elijah is battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. You can read more about Elijah here: http://www.talbertfamilyfoundation.org/pages/Elijah.html

We’ll have vendors there as well showing off and selling their wares.

The past two shows have topped 100 MINIs and we’re out to do it again………

This event will obviously replace our Rubys breakfast but have no fear. There will be coffee from the local Enderle “Coffee Grinder” and sweets. There are also a few restaurants in the center serving breakfast.

Come and join a fun gathering of fellow Maniacs…..whether your car be young or old,…..stock or tricked out,….as long as it’s a MINI/Mini that responds to a cleaning.

Swipe a MINI from Grey Eagle Casino

Win a MINI at Grey Eagle Casino (Calgary, Alberta)Great, just when we think the Winter is over and Spring has finally arrived, down dumps about another 20cm of the white stuff upon us, but hey, if you venture out in the cold smushy stuff you could up your chances of grabbing a MINI thanks to Grey Eagle Casino and the local Calgary MINI dealership (aka Crowfoot).

Yeah, all you have to do is walk up to the front desk and swipe your Grey Eagle casino card — if you don’t have one yet, they are free, and you get a few perks o’course for joining.

If you’re not into gaming bingo or gambling, they have a nice all you can eat buffet, gift shops, and one of the few area bars to serve such tasty heavy non-Canadian brews I like, such as Guinness (yay, Grey Eagle Casino!)

Nope, neither Crowfoot or the casino are a sponsor of Miniology, but they sure as heck should be ;-)

Grey Eagle Casino is located at 3777 Grey Eagle Drive in Calgary, that’s about where Glenmore Trail SW meets 37 street SW, and MINI Crowfoot is located at 650 Crowfoot Crescent NW, that’s just off .. well, North of 1, West of QE2, if you need directions and don’t have a GPS or what-not handy, just call them at (403) 275-6464.
