Welcome to the Windy City Miata Club

The Windy City Miata Club (WCMC) is a not-for-profit organization designed to promote the enjoyment of good will and fellowship derived from owning a Mazda Miata. Though most of our membership is located in the Chicagoland area, we have members in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and other states. As of the end of 2021, we have 314 great members, with 205 Miatas.

New and prospective members are always welcome at our events. Some events may require an RSVP to the organizer. If you want more information about an upcoming event, please email the event organizer at the address shown on the event page or you may contact us here.
 

A Word from our President - May 2023

Well, we had our April showers, and thunder storms, so we will have May flowers. This is actually a good thing. First, all the road salt is now gone. Second, for all the back roads we will be driving this year, the flowers will be beautiful. I’ve always loved rural drives during the Spring, as we are out of the grey dreary winter months, and now we see a whole lot of green and other colors.

 Speaking of rural tours, we just finished going on Kenton and Leonie’s Indiana BloomIN tour. The bulk of the tour was in Brown County, in southern Indiana. The roads were probably some of the best I have ever driven. Yes, I’ve done Deals Gap and other “twisties”, but these roads were awesome. What I really like is that they didn’t have to build a new tour from scratch. They found an old tour by Chris and Judy Dunn, and twicked it. Anyone in our club can do the same thing. Contact our historian Sheila Luxon. She has archives of many tours. You can redo the same old tour, or use it to plan a new tour. Some of these wonderful tours have not been done for over 10 years, and should be done again. Old members will love the memories, and new members will enjoy the best tours they have ever been on.

 Many years ago, our club has had many tours each year, but due to issues like Covid, the last few years have been lacking. I’m very happy to say that this year we have three major tours. The Indiana tour which was great. In the coming months we will also have tours to Michigan (John and Judy) and also Door County (John and Barb). Note: note the same Johns (ha ha ha). What our website and newsletter for more information.

 And finally, WCMC is a social club, that loves to drive their Miatas. I’ve recently found out that several of our members are also part of the Moose Lodges. Yes, it’s a different social club, but the same kind of members. They like to socialize, and meet people of the same interests and passions. It’s nice to see our active members involved in different activities.

 I hope you all, or is it you’all, have a great driving time in May!

Your President,

John Semenek
