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 - December 2023
Well, it’s finally December. Both the end of 2023, and the end of our driving season for the year.
In November, we had several highlights of our club. First was the end of season Autocross party in Rockford. The turnout was great, the food was very good, and hopefully next year you will able to join us. The next was our annual Brookfield Zoo tree trimming. In coordination with Napleton Mazda we again hosted a larger corporate tree. We had a bunch of new ornaments, including Concerned Cones brothers (only Autocross people will get the reference), and a new tree topper built by yours truly. And finally, we had our annual Toys for Tots in conjunction with the Marines. This time we had two Marines show up. Javelin, who was at our event two years ago (with his fiancé) and Felix. Both did a great presentation of their history with the Marines. On a side note, Felix grew up a few blocks from where I grew up in the Chicago Humboldt Park area. Even though we grew up close to each other, there is almost a 40 year difference in time. It was fun trading stories about the community and how it has changed over time.
For December, we have very few activities scheduled, as this is the time we all spend with our family and friends. We will be having our annual Xmas party on December 12. This time it will be at Windmill Grille & Pizzeria in Batavia. We’ve had a previous burger night here. Barb and I know the owner Gzime, and she always goes out of her way to assure we have the best of everything.
And finally, in January, we will be having our Annual WCMC Banquet. After 3 years of being your president, it’s time I step down and let someone else breathe some new life into the club.
Your President,
John Semenek
