The chapter has improved its email notification system, known as PEWAS. Notifications include meeting reminders, event reminders, special information. We have about one mailing a week. The email addresses for this list are maintained monthly from the BMWCCA membership list. To receive these notifications, please make sure your email is on file with the BMW CCA. You can update your information through the website (http://www.bmwcca.org) by creating a sign-on. You will need your membership #. You can also call the BMW CCA office at 864-250-0022 to update your information. Another improvement in chapter communications is the ability for members to have informal discussions through an email list. The list is 100% voluntary. You may join or leave at any time. For further instructions please see the Halfmoon article you will receive in the coming weeks.
If you have something to add to the website, please contact me. Scott G.
