The Delaware Valley Miata Club turns 20!
What a difference a year makes! For those members who persevered through last year's rainy
day annual picnic, this past May 2 was a welcome change. While the beauty of the Bowman's Hill
Wildflower Farm was missed, the Willow Grove Day Camp provided a nice venue for the 2010
20th Anniversary Celebration and gathering of 229 guests. The parking lot was a feast for Miata-
loving eyes with 117 cars!
The picnic provided an opportunity for old friends to see each other (some traveling from Florida,
New York and the Carolinas) and reminisce about the early years of the club. It also allowed new
members to experience the camaraderie of others who share a passion for a specific roadster.
Thank you to members Michele and Damon Kane who organized one of the great features of the
day--a special display of 1990-2010 Miatas. Another big thank you to the members who
showcased their cars, as well as sponsor Faulkner Mazda of Philadelphia for providing the 2010
model. It was so interesting to see the evolution of the Miata as well as the pride of ownership
from members who've put their personal stamp on their vehicles.
Outside, members enjoyed each other's company as well as picnic food of barbecued chicken, hot
dogs, hamburgers, salads and dessert provided by Willow Grove Day Camp. Inside there were
displays of Miata and Del-Val memorabilia, club merchandise for sale and raffle prizes.
There were club announcements and recognition of past board members along with those who
have made a lasting impact on the Delaware Valley Miata Club. The last order of events was to
unveil the Del-Val club's new logo which you see on the Web site.
Thank you to the board members who put in so much hard work and planning over the past year
to make an enjoyable experience for all.
