Peter Amato – The new website has been rolled out. Fifty members have already been on the
site There is new functionality – a dashboard page for each member. It’s more of a social
network. We need some volunteers to add information of the History of the Miata Club. Your
user name is simply “Firstname Lastname”. When you create a password, it must be 12
characters with mixed numbers / letters – caps, lowercase / symbols. Password must be
STRONG! Nutmegmiata.org is the new web address (not nutmegmiatainc.org). There are
links at the old website so that you can retrieve info if needed using a copy & paste to enter
on the new website. Eventually it will be gone.
Disclaimer – All meetings and dates are subject to changes, best way to stay updated is to
check the website. All events will be detailed with times and places as the year progresses.
Scott moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:56, Dan Riccio seconded and all were in favor.
Minutes taken by Jim Merchant in my absence, thank you Jim!
