It’s really good when the members of a nationwide organization have the opportunity to meet together. Such was true when I had the opportunity to attend the MBCA Fall National Board Meeting in St Louis. I was able to compare notes with other section leaders and members of the National MBCA Board of Directors. It was nice to hear accolades as other sections heard about our own Spassnacht and the First Saturday Speaker Series that the Kansas City Section hosts every month. But, I came away from this particular outing with an event idea I’d like to implement, thanks to the San Francisco Bay Area Section. They have a unique program called the First Sunday Drive. This event focuses on the common bond between our members; our cars, and what we do with them; drive.

The task is simple enough. One drive sponsor is appointed for each of the 12 months of 2010. He/she is responsible to plan a route and a destination. The starting point will always be US Bank 119th & Row at Noon. We meet up on the First Sunday of the month, and follow the driving route as a group to our destination. Sometimes the final destination will be a secret until the Sunday Morning, and sometimes announced in advance. I think we want to keep it to 90 minutes or less from the I-435 loop, in any direction. We'll usually use some of the scenic back roads of the area, and finish up at a place for lunch/picnic, or roadside attraction.

There is so much to see within a short drive from home, so, why not experience it with your “Benz Buddies”?

Hope to see you at the next "First Sunday Drive!"
