2017 NJ Chapter Banquet

Post by LilVic20 »

Hello, all... Today is the first day of Feb and I thought I'd share some trivia with you:
> February is the month with the least amount of days in the year.
> We celebrate both Valentine’s Day and President’s Day.
> Since 2002, the Superbowl is held the first Sunday of February.
> The 3rd weekend of February is National Margarita Weekend.
> 01-Feb 1790 - First session of the U.S. Supreme Court conducted in New York City.
> 01-Feb 1913 - Grand Central Terminal opened in New York as the world's largest train station.
> 25-Feb 1901 - J.P. Morgan incorporated the United States Steel Corporation.
> 25-Feb 2017 - Annual NJ Chapter Banquet!

Now I can't guarantee that our banquet this year will be historic in nature, but I can tell you that we'll be having a great time. In addition to a delicious buffet dinner with lots of variety, we've booked an impressive 5-piece band, BLUE SOUL, that will be playing jazz, blues, and some upbeat covers for our enjoyment. Please come out for a fun evening to socialize with friends, meet your NJ Chapter Board, and of course many chances to win some awesome door prizes... I hear that even a BMW bicycle may be offered as one of our top prizes this year.

All of our local BMWCCA members and spouses/guests are highly encouraged to join us for this annual event. Tickets are $65 per person, and must be purchased in advance.

For more information, please see the following in our events section of the website:

Please let me know if you should have any questions:

Thank you!
-Vic Jr.

Hi, all. From what I've seen over the years, attire for men tends to be from a sport coat + nice shirt all the way to a suit & tie.

Please note there isn't a dress code that will be enforced when you check-in at the banquet, so if you're stylish and comfortable for the night then I think we should be set.

Hope this helps!
