CVC's Annual Dinner has gone BRUNCH!
~ CT Valley Chapter 2026 Brunch Celebration ~
It's been a couple years since CVC has had an Annual Dinner.
You've asked, we listened, and we've missed seeing you all in a room full, enjoying BMW comradery! So, it's back - with a twist, and a mimosa! We're trying something a little different, taking it to the morning. Those who have attended in the past know, when it comes to dinners, we deliver, and this brunch will too! Same fabulous food (just brunchin' munchin's instead of main course), spectacular speaker, and GREAT giveaway! And this time, all fun, no business as we already held the annual business meeting virtually.
We are excited to have you join us for our first Brunch Celebration at
BMW New Country in Hartford, CT on July 19th!
11am - 1pm
And we are delighted to welcome a spectacular guest speaker for this exclusive event, Travis Okulski!
If you recognize the name, he needs no introduction. If you've yet to become acquainted, now's your chance! Travis is now the editor of both Roundel and BimmerLife magazines. He was bitten by the Bimmer Bug as a teenager when he spotted a Le Mans Blue E39 M5 in a BMW showroom. Already obsessed with cars, Travis devoured car magazines, including Roundel which he'd read cover to cover to get his fix! He never would have guessed during days spent lying on the living room floor, that reading those publications would inspire his entire career. It led to opportunities with the online publication Jalopnik and even a stint as editor-in-chief of the venerable, Road & Track. Now taking the reigns from both Satch Carlson and Jackie Jouret, former heads of BMW CCA's excellent journals, Travis is tackling the formidable job of keeping them fresh and relevant now and in the future. So come meet this life-long BMW enthusiast, racer and accomplished journalist. He's got some stories to tell!
