President's Message
2023 is receding in the rear view mirror and 2024 is full of promise! The past 12 months was a year of renewal for DelVal Chapter. Coming fully back into "Real Life", a number of you stepped forward, volunteered, made things happen for the rest of us and evidently, had a ball doing it!
Starting strong in March 2023, we ran events every few weeks right through into November. You showed us that if we put together an attractive variety of events, you will join us. We watched with delight as before our eyes at each event, new friendships were formed, new business connections were made and the value of membership in our chapter was affirmed and strengthened for so many of you. This energized our volunteer team and confirmed that there is so much to enjoy when you join one of our events, whether a social event, driving event, tour, or just a plain old parking lot meet-up.
Volunteers are the beating heart of Delaware Valley chapter! To all of you who were part of making our 2023 events happen:
BIG THANKS TO YOU!
In this BMN issue, you will see plans already forming for exciting events during the first quarter of this new year. We are bringing back mid-week indoor karting in February. March will see the first of our monthly DelVal CBC (Cars, Breakfast and Coffee - When you go, you will know why). We are extremely excited with our plans for the annual membership social event that was formerly known as the banquet. For this year, we have completely re-imagined this event, moved it to a better place on the calendar and dubbed the event "Das Fest!" You really do want to miss out on this one - read more below.
If you were not part of any of our events in 2023, and you have read this far, I encourage you to join one of our events. I hope to see all of you out there at one or more of our events this year!!
