For the first time, the Connecticut Valley Chapter will be offering a social gathering at the Housatonic Boat Club in Stratford, CT. Past Commodore and local chapter member Scott Marino has graciously offered to host this event and will be giving us a tour of the marina and boat club. We have been given access to parking allowing for beautiful views of our cars along the Housatonic River. Be sure to bring your favorite beverage of choice and a lawn chair to sit back and relax. While masks will not be required, we will be following social distancing practices while in close vicinities. Please bring a mask if you wish to take the inside tour. Please RSVP to dmucciacciaro@ctvalley.org if you plan on attending.

Come out and join the Connecticut Valley Chapter for an all day High Performance Driver’s school for our second driving school of 2021 at Lime Rock Park. Please also note the reduced entrance fee! Your day will be spent alternating between classroom and behind the wheel sessions on the track. Classroom sessions are tailored to class skill level and are lead by seasoned, certified BMW driving instructors. In-car instructors provide the coaching needed to improve driving skills and get the most out of your car. And, just like when you were in school, you’ll receive a report card from your in-car instructor. At 5:00p, when the track goes cold, it’s time to get together for pizza and beverages under the control tower. Stories of day abound as new friends and old enjoy a snack and a drink before heading home.
