BMW Car Club of America E31 Chapter – The Voice of E31 Owners
May 2023 President’s Update – by Henry Christoff
Greetings Everyone!
REMINDER: While quantities last, new E31 Chapter members and those who renew their membership will receive a free E31 hat pin! Since January, we have mailed E31 pins to folks who have renewed their E31 Chapter memberships. It’s our way of showing appreciation of your continued E31 Chapter support!
The Spring Edition of the E31News brought a lot of positive comments on the quality and content of the E31 Chapter newsletter! Many thanks to John Berge, our newsletter editor – great job!
Jeff Gomon, the Non-Geographic Chapters Regional Vice President, has advised that $250.00 has been released from National to the E31 Chapter to help with event sponsorships. You’ll note that the E31 Chapter is sponsoring several vintage BMW events in 2023. The weekend of April 28th, we lent sponsorship to the Southeast Sharkfest. Because of that sponsorship, we were given a prominent location for our
“E31 Chapter Logo” on the Southeast Sharkfest website. I’ve had several people last week alone reach out to me because they saw our logo there. We hope to have photos and a report from that event in our next edition of the E31News.
We have a good number of our E31 Chapter Motor t-shirts still available – see the spring edition of the E31News on our website to order. We take all the major credit cards and ship the shirts via Priority Mail!

The following E31 Chapter Board positions will be up for election this June, with new folks beginning their elected terms in August.
The following three positions will be voted upon: President, Secretary and Membership Chairperson. If interested in any of these

coordinate all E31 Chapter activities to include: E31News newsletter production with the newsletter editor; coordinate national and local
events with the Events Coordinator; work hand in hand with the Vice President and Treasurer of the Chapter.
Since the E31 Chapter is a Non-geographic Chapter and are unable to host monthly meetings with the membership, the president will provide the E31 Chapter membership with regular updates of interest to E31 owners and enthusiasts; be the contact person with National with regard to Chapter issues; keep the E31 Chapter board apprised of all Chapter activities and issues; be the principle contact for for E31 Chapter members and enthusiasts world-wide.
