What Have You Been Doing This Summer?
he Summer Season is well under T way and there is no better time to get out and drive your Mercedes-Benz.
Two great events will be happening before the summer ends. August 29 come out to White Post Restorations and celebrate their 75th birthday. Then on Sunday August 30, join your fellow members at Redskins Park for Redskins rides. Getting out to an MBCA event is easy and a lot of fun. Meet new friends, and connect with old ones. We still have plenty of driving time for you with the monthly autocross at James Wood High School in Winchester VA. Or how about hitting the track, with Looking to play with your car on the track, well you can do that August 19-21 at Gem端tlichkeit 2015. This year it is being held is just outside of Pittsburgh, and it is just a few hours away at Pittsburgh International Raceplex. For those of you who got out to the Deutsche Marque in May or joined us for the GWS picnic in July, you know you will have a good time. Plenty more where that came from too!
With this issue of the Metro Tri-Star we will be scaling back the USPS mailed newsletters to two per year, and two digital editions, as well as sending out updates via the GWS e-blast and producing more digital content in the year to come. We have heard from members, and they are looking for more online, more digital format newsletters from the club. If you have not updated your e-mail with the National Business office in Colorado, please do so. That way you will receive all the club news. Also join our Facebook Page where members post and share about Mercedes-Benz topics on a daily basis. Fall is shaping up now with a couple of great events, the DIY in September at Mercedes-Benz of Arlington, as well as the GWS Annual Meeting. So much to do, and a lot of fun to be had this Fall. We look forward to having you join in with all that we do. This fall is a great time to volunteer to help your fellow GWS|MBCA members by volunteering to help out. Contact our Section President Katie Gleeson and offer to help out.
