(Drinks to be purchased individually.) In addition, our Regional Vice President, David Brighton, will be driving in from Iowa to help us recruit volunteers for different programs and set a calendar for next year. This means you directly get a say in what our chapter does next year and can get involved in your favorite programs. Whether it’s hosting a tour or joining the board, there is always an opportunity for you to lend a hand.

The St. Louis BMW Club is unique in that it spans two states. While many of our members are on the Missouri side, we like to make meetings more accessible to our members from Illinois as much as we can. On Saturday the 25th of September, we will be attending Gateway Classic Cars’ Caffeine and Chrome and heading to lunch after. Caffeine and Chrome is a casual, relaxed cars and coffee-style event at a classic car dealership. This provides a wide array of cars to see from concours-level restorations to rat rods. After cars and coffee, we’ll meet at La Casa for lunch, just a few hundred yards away.

Atlanta Weekender
2021-07-15 - 2021-07-18 | MO
It isn’t every day that multiple chapters of the BMWCCA get an opportunity to meet each other. Take this opportunity to change that! We have a full weekend planned with social events that allow you to get to know people you’ve probably never met before as well as see historical elements of Old Route 66.
Friday, 7/16
We will arrive in Lincoln, IL for dinner followed by socialization back at the hotel. Our accommodations will be In Lincoln, just a few minutes from Atlanta. The deal with the hotel is still a work in progress. More information will be available soon.
Saturday, 7/17
We begin our day by driving to Atlanta where they will have shut down the main drag for us to hold a cars and coffee style event where we can kick tires and have a pastry breakfast. Then, we’ll see a couple museums followed by a catered lunch in the Union Hall Ballroom. After lunch, there will be a guided walking tour of Atlanta, then a photo op on an old section of Route 66. We end our day with dinner then socialization back at the hotel.
Sunday, 7/18
Our Sunday is focused around the Illini chapter’s “Wine N Shine” event at Mackinaw Valley Winery. Once we’re done showing our cars, we’ll each head home.
Cost is TBD and will be announced to those with tickets once information is available. The hotel will not cost more than $90/night, and food should be quite affordable.
If you have any questions, please email the event coordinator, Brandon Merz of the St. Louis chapter at bmerz@stlbmwcca.org.
We hope to see you there!

It’s been over three decades and hundreds of thousands of dollars in community impact… The St. Louis European Auto Show is excited to roar into town for its 33rd anniversary of celebrating beautiful machines and raising funds for St. Louis nonprofits!
St. Louis Arc continues as the charitable partner for this year’s event, which will take place on Sunday, July 11th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at MINI of St. Louis. The show has been a St. Louis tradition since 1987 and occurs each year, rain or shine.

We’re excited to share this very special afternoon with you and wanted to remind that registration is now open. If you’ve already registered, thank you so much for helping us and we hope you tell your friends and family about the show.
On behalf of STL Arc, we hope you will consider joining us to help over 4,000 local St. Louis families and their children. We would love to see you and your car!
Best Regards,
Neil Westfall

Rockwell Social
2021-07-06 13:30 - 15:30 | Rockwell Beer Co., 1320 S Vandeventer, St. Louis, MO, 63110, United States
After almost a year and a half, our social meetings have returned! We’ll be at Rockwell Beer Company for a non-agenda meeting to get reacquainted with your friends.

In addition to extending their usual discount to card-carrying members, Rockwell has been kind enough to provide a closed back room, which will only be open to those that can show proof of full vaccination. This will provide a safe space for us to begin the process of returning to normal without undue risk. We hope to see you there!
