1. `Letter From The President Bob Mashburn President, Mile-High Section
October Behind the Wheel
We all have a story on how or when we got our first Mercedes-Benz, here is my story. Our
2001 Buick Regal was on its last set of tires, so we started looking at a 2012 Buick Regal on
the Internet. Other cars would pop up for a comparison, but this Mercedes-Benz 2012 C300
keep popping (I would click off because I thought I can’t afford it) but, it popped again so I
decided to take look at it. Everything I had added to the other cars came with this C300.
Natalie came home from work and I said do you want to see your new car? I showed her the
picture of the C300 and she laughed at me! She wanted to see the work sheet I had been
comparing the cars too and then her next words were LET’S GO GET IT! Three weeks later
my truck said that’s it and we went out and found my 2006 ML 350. I have enjoyed the
vehicles ever since! (Side note, after the truck broke down we needed something to take the
dogs to the lake and it wasn’t going to be the new C300 according to Natalie).
We would like to hear your stories, send them into [email protected].
Our Annual Membership Meeting will be held at Perfect Landing on October 7th elections
will be held for Officers and Board Members.
October 14th we have a Ghost Tour of downtown Denver with Banjo Billy’s bus tour with
late lunch at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company prior to the tour.
November 4th is our second annual planning breakfast at Golden Corral in Englewood. Start
putting your ideas for next year’s events together and send me your ideas to
[email protected] and during our planning breakfast which is open to all
members we put everything together for 2018.
We plan a Regional trip each year and these take longer to put together so if you would like
to plan something for summer for 2018 let us know.
Drive Safe
