    1. Gilson Tech Session – April 5.  Gilbert finally has the Dyno from New Zealand that got stuck in Australia for two months.  Will have a demo of Dyno on your vehicle for $100.  It does two runs through to get the torque and horsepower.
    2. Picnic – Sharon Goodrich – July 13.  Sharon had looked at Bowers Mansion for a picnic in July.  After discussing with Pat McGoff, location was changed to ArrowCreek.  It can be used for three hours without cost and has swimming, barbecue and many other features.
    3. Barbera Festival – June 14.  There are four couples so far who have signed up.  It must be done on line and should be done soon as it fills fast.
  3. BMW i5 Launch in 2015.  Pat McGoff provided a November 2013 article on the new car and said that it may actually be coming out this spring
  4. BMW Front Wheel Drive Active Tourer.  This car is mostly 2014 Mini Coopers so far; no BMW number has been assigned to one.
