Welcome

Established October, 2004

Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiasts was conceived in the late spring of 2004 to fill a void for local MINI and classic Mini Cooper owners in the Northern California, North Bay Area. Although two fine clubs dedicated to these unique cars were already established in the South and East Bay Areas,  Mini  owners north of the Golden Gate felt they were without a local club.

September, 2004 marked our first success in getting local car owners involved in local runs. We are no longer small in numbers as each month membership continues to grow as we get established as Northern California's largest, most active Mini - MINI Cooper car club. 

Our Mission

Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiasts was formed for both new and classic Mini Cooper owners located within an hour radius of the Petaluma to Healdsburg Highway 101 corridor. Counties initially served included San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Mendocino, and Lake. We now have active satellite chapters in the Sacramento Valley,  Upper Central Valley, and the South & East Bay Area. Anyone wishing to participate from outside of our area is invited to join our membership and our activities.

Our group is informal and activities are intended to be fun. We will do everything in our power to facilitate that goal for all members.

Our club is still in its infancy. Participation in any group activities is at the sole risk and cost of each participant.
