December Lunch and Meeting

Saturday, December 14th at 12 - 1:30pm

Coach’s Neighborhood Grill, 6412 Sessions Ct, Clemmons, North Carolina

This is our monthly day that we have our meetings and lunch. The 2nd Saturday of the month. Always a different location. Do not let “Meeting” keep you from coming and having “Lunch” with us. We are more about friendship and food than we are the “Club Politics”. I am hoping to have information regarding the Spring Drive for 2025. Map planning for the WNC area is a bit tricky since tropical storm Helene came to our state. Good thing I have plenty of maps!

November's Lunch & Meeting

Little Italy Pizza & Italian Restaurant

South Main Street, King, NC

Come join us for food, fun & fellowship! Hear stories from our most recent adventure to Wytheville, VA for the Miatas on the Backof the Dragon, Season 8! No spoiler alerts will be mentioned here. Do you want to know how many cars we had shown up? How many people to feed and find bathrooms for while out driving these great back roads? Yes! And I know you all are wandering how much money we raised this year for the Autism Society of Surrey County. Well, you just have to come to the lunch to get all these answers! Or wait till the answers are sent in an email or posted on Facebook.

As always, if the weather cooperates, there will be a short drive that will end with ice cream for sale!

Until we meet again, keep on zooming!!

We are having a Picnic in the Park!

Saturday, September 14, 2024. 12 Noon

Dan Nicholas Park, 6800 Bringle Ferry Rd. Salisbury, NC 28146

This is such a great park in the Triad area. It might be a bit of a drive for a few of us, so make a day of it! We have the spot for most of the day. We will be under Shelter 11. Go to the website and look at map or download it, to find directions. Bring a camping chair just in case there aren’t any more seats at the picnic tables. There are a ton of trees out there, so no worry about sitting in hot sun. Also, there are a variety of activities to do at this park. Miniature Golf, fishing and paddle boats to name a few.

Burgers & Hot Dogs will be provided. Please RSVP to find out what else will be needed to make this a successful afternoon. Email us at Countryroadsmiatas@gmail.com.

There will not be a drive following the lunch. There are some backroads I’m sure you can find, for your drive home.

HPU Christmas Light Show Drive

Tuesday, December 20th 6:30 pm we will meet at the Food Lion Shopping center at 1107 E Lexington Ave, High Point, NC. At 6:45pm we will proceed to drive over to the High Point University to drive thru the campus and enjoy the Christmas Lights. This is a nice short (maybe 20-30 min depending on traffic) drive. We had a great turn out last year, and appreciate Lorie Leisen, for discovering this event and creating a “New Holiday Tradition” for our Club.

Afterward we will be driving over to the High Point Library for a free selfie photo op with a sled and reindeer, weather permitting. We realize this is during the week and not everyone can make this event. Distance and work schedules are tricky, not to mention other holiday activities with families are booking up the weekends.

Merry Christmas to you all!!
