Benvenuti amici!
We thought we should throw some dates out there for future meet possibilities. To keep this as simple [for you and us] as possible, we propose meets take place the last Saturday of each month listed. The entries marked with a number in parenthesis signify the four major events of the year. Note: There are no meets listed for the months of December, January, February and June.
Some members shared their ideas for future meets and we are keen to exercise them sooner than later. One such idea is our upcoming post-cruise dinner and/or coffee [at Grand Cafe Benelux or Coquette Café]. Either of these locales are perfect for us to chill out and enjoy what the Historic Third Ward has to offer. Please, email RSVP to help ensure there is enough space available for the group.
Another example of member-driven ideas is the May 31, 2014 'Simply more' meet. For those who do not recall, 'Simply more' is the first North American FIAT campaign ~ "Everything you need & nothing you don't". Paul contacted me this week and proposed the drive-in idea. I think it fits perfectly into the CC5C, and FIAT, profile. You will find the proposed 'Simply more' plan among the meet dates below. Mark your calendars...

Saturday, 26 October 2013 - Halloween by 500!
(4) An October 2012 weekend drive with Franko & Dawn played part in laying the foundation for this club. They will celebrate one year with their 'cento in October. The occasion begs to be honored with a cruise. Haunted House or Six Flags Fright Fest? What do you think?

Saturday, 30 November 2013 - TBD
Weather permitting, this will likely be the final cruise of the year. We are open to ideas on how to celebrate or whether you think this is doable. We realize many members may be out of the area celebrating Thanksgiving.
A chilled out downtown dinner could be nice.

Saturday, 31 May 2014 - Simply more/Drive-in meet!
(1) This could be our first real road trip together. As stated earlier, Paul suggested a cruise to the Jefferson County Hi-way 18 Outdoor Theater. This could be our coolest meet... until the FIAT Freakout!, that is.

Saturday, 10-13 July 2014 - FIAT Freakout!
(2) Yes, you read that correctly ~ a three day cruise. Next year, the Chicago chapter of FIAT Club America will host the 31st annual meet. July is the recognized birthday of FIAT s.p.A., the FIAT 500 and the Città Crema Cinquecento Club. This is the major FIAT event of the year!

Finally, here are some boss shots of another non-Wisconsin CC5C supporter. Like Edwin's rosso Abarth, this is another heavily-yet-tastefully modded mighty mouse. I must admit, these babies make me long for a Scorpione of my own. All photos are courtesy of the man himself. Thanks, Brian.
