The door to 2016 has closed and a new era is upon us. We have a New President, Vice President, members of Congress, and Cabinet Members. Your sierra Chapter of the BMWCCA has also made some changes. The new list of officers and board members is located else ware in this publication.

I have been appointed by the board to be the Club Newsletter Editor. As most of you know, Carol Villar has moved to Florida and will remain our Webmaster. I’m taking over her duties as the editor of the newsletter. This will give you a local voice and perspective on most of the club activities. If any of you have articles of interest to the general club members, be sure to send it to me. My email address where things can be sent is [email protected].

This year the board has voted on a very busy agenda for 2017. Some new events and some are the most successful from past years. Please make every effort to join in the fun. Remember that we are a bunch of BMW guys and gals who enjoy these great vehicles. The purpose of BMW CCA is to enhance the BMW and MINI ownership experience. Our Chapter Mission is simple: Have Fun! After you look over the list of events and activities, make sure that you make notes of the event and dates on your calendar.

Here’s hoping that this is a fantastic year for all of us.

Fred Watson, Editor
