Thursday, October 1: Get Together in Marina, CA
The Brass Tap in Marina, just north of Monterey, has plenty of beers, spirits and food to choose from! The beer garden is definitely large enough to hold all our MINI friends and fur babies. There is also ample parking for all of our cars! Please let people know about this event, Thursday, October 1 starting at 5pm, but have them RSVP with our member Vickie Casacca, so they will have plenty of staff on hand to accommodate us.
