05.12.08 I started CEMA (at the time was Cruise Eastern MA) with 20 members and in the first 6 months we had 280+ members from New Jersey to Maine. The group name changed because we had members and events all over New England.
02.04.10 We now have 580+ members, 16 officers from different businesses and forums, and 3 admins.
02.08.10 4 days after *bumping* this or posting it on all the forums we have another 190 members (770 total)

**MOD Edit**

 

All,

I have been made an official Officer for CEMA here at my350z, so its my job to make sure everyone is aware of the events that are going on within the group and to be a contact point. If you know anything about CEMA and the quality events they host you dont even need me to explain. Last year there was the huge Jordan's meet in Natick, MA that was a blast and huge turn out. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

This is just a feeler for now, no dates have been set.

Taylor (CEMA President aka MyBoyBlue) spoke to someone at the Streetwise Cycle School (http://www.streetwisecycleschool.com/) about a group discount and he can give us 10% off the list price if we bring 5 or more. Taylor picked that school because they offer more then the Rebel and Nighthawk which are the only bikes the other schools have; the Hyosung is closer to a sport bike then the rest. They are also the closest to Boston.

In the Boston area we have a Cars & Coffee and in NY we have a 350Z gathering.
Herb Chambers is putting on their own Cars & Coffee. This is NOT a YuppieRacing event but they are supporting Herb and they will be there. There are also rumors that a McLaren F1 will be on display. I was told they will not be kicking anyone off the lot if we're there after 10am (so it ends when it ends).

Final Reminder:
Driven Perfection is offering a detail for $79.
If you don't call and schedule this week then he probably won't be able to fit you in before the 20th deadline.
Call the number, ask for Alex, tell him you're a CEMA member and you NEED a detail.
