MBCA CVA Event: 2009 Urbanna Picnic & Board Meeting

Having fun has always been the top priority for the members and board of the MBCA Central Virginia section. And, we accomplished our goal once again.

Central Virginia Members as well as neighboring section members gathered at Robyn and Gary Tyers’ summer home on the Rappahannock River to enjoy a perfect day. A cool summer breeze accompanied us as we enjoyed a beautiful water view, an early dinner on the porch and the comradery of fellow Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts. Hand churned ice cream and s’mores on the back lawn topped off the afternoon. What else do we need to say?

MBCA Central Virginia – Board Meeting

During the picnic, the board met to discuss club business, the upcoming officer elections and future events.

Today I was thinking how to thank Robyn and Gary for hosting such a lovely picnic at their beautiful river home. It could not have been nicer. The homemade ice cream was delicious. It was so relaxing and fun to see everyone.

Thanks to everyone who made the day so special. Tom and I had a great time. It was definitely worth returning from the Outer Banks a little early. Thanks for sharing the photos.
