5. Richard’s next brunch outing will be in August. He is finalizing the plans.  This year marks the 25th year!

6. Aaron shared that he is looking at the last 2 weekends of October for the Hidden Drives Rally. This year 

7. Give back to the community event. Clyde reached out to the contact for the Indy based Habitat group. He is waiting to hear back from them. Discussed volunteering for other organizations including Gleener foods. Still a work in progress. Discussed Million Meal support, Wheeler Mission and Second Helpings. Toby will learn more about opportunities later this week with Second Helpings.

8. Clyde to investigate, to learn more about an Autocross event. Dick and Clyde will work on getting something posted on this.

9. Clyde shared that the teenage driving class that someone at the Presidents Luncheon spoke to him about is not being offered this year. There is no state funding this year.

10. Had some discussion about making a donation to a local non-profit. Will discuss next month.

11. Last month Clyde asked how we could get more women involved. Toby volunteered to do some investigative work on this at the next few events. Her investigative reporting starting with the recent event at Renee’s indicated that the women tend to attend non-rally events. More investigation will continue.

12. Discussion was started about allowing non-Miata drivers to be part of the club. Discussion centered around allowing other Mazda cars to be a member. More to come on this as a change to the bi-laws would need to occur when the group is together which we talked about happening at the Presidents Day brunch in January

13. Still looking for more rallies, so please contact the club leadership if you want to rerun an old route from the clubs website or one that you have created.

14. Aaron provided Bob with Administrative access to the Wild Apricot software.

15. The next meeting will be August 17 @ 8pm on TEAMS. Anyone interested in attending should reach out to Clyde.
