MBCA-TC Members:  A quick reminder of the Scavenger Rally coming up Sunday, August 8.  The location, Vino in the Valley, is unique, fun and interesting, and the driving through west central Wisconsin will be great!  This is a different style of rally, you will have a good time.  Feel free to contact the event hosts with questions.
Please note:  The entry deadline is extended beyond July 25.
The flyer is found here:

<groan>”A new website…again?”

I hear you, but I promise you will like this.  The previous system was very-high quality and had a million features; our previous web-master Brent did an excellent job setting it up and it immediately looked very professional – I hope to follow his example.

Fine-tuning

There was one fatal flaw though and that is the interaction between members was limited to blog comments – integrating a forum system was very challenging and there would’ve been many inconveniences.

So we’re moving to a system that is built more for social interaction and groups than what you historically see on the web, which is more for marketing and selling products.

So please – sign up here and join your fellow members in celebrating Mercedes-Benz!
