The BMW CCA New Mexico Chapter hosted its annual Holiday Lunch on Saturday, December 21, 2024, in Bernalillo, NM. The day began with a gathering at Sandia BMW Wheels & Coffee, followed by a scenic convoy through Albuquerque’s North Valley, along NM 313, and the El Camino Real National Scenic Byway, passing Sandia Pueblo before arriving in Bernalillo.
The Holiday Lunch was held at The Range Bernalillo, a locally owned restaurant celebrated for its unique atmosphere, excellent food, welcoming service, and support for the local arts community. NM Chapter Vice President Jim Levandoski started the event by inviting attendees to introduce themselves, share their origins, and talk about the BMWs they owned, sparking lively discussions around the table.
Jim also played “Santa,” distributing gently used BMW apparel donated by former NM Chapter Board member Boyd Kleefisch, which added to the festive spirit. After enjoying a delicious meal, participants had ample time to continue their holiday celebrations. Special thanks to Jim Levandoski for organizing this delightful event!
