Friend of the Marque
The number of fans and friends of the BMW brand is huge. Nonetheless, there are enthusiasts whose personal commitment to their passion extends far beyond the normal. These are very often people from the periphery of the BMW Clubs who distinguish themselves as being excellent ambassadors of the BMW brand. We would like to express our appreciation to these marvellous people with the title "Friend of the Marque". |

At a gala dinner event organized by Kip and Catherine Keylock and held on Saturday evening, January 21, 2006, the members of the Southern Alberta chapter of the BMW Club of Canada feted John G. and Helga Herbst for their longtime commitment to the club and the BMW marque.
Philip Abrami, National President of the BMW Club of Canada and Vice-President of the International Council of BMW Clubs, was on hand to serve as the master of ceremonies and to surprise John with two honors.
In recognition of his dedication, service, and enthusiasm, John is the first recipient of an honorary lifetime membership in the BMW Club of Canada. John also received the prestigious "Friend of the Marque" Award bestowed by the International Council of BMW Clubs and its highest award also in recognition of John's longstanding dedication to BMW club life. John is the first Canadian recipient of the award.
John and Helga's children added to the evening with a multimedia display of the Herbst family's commitment to, and involvement, with BMW. Janice, Tina, and Chickie concluded the evening by surprising their parents with a trip to South Africa where John will be the BMW Club of Canada observer at the 2006 meeting of the International Council.
Further details of the evening and the awards will be available shortly on the BMW Club of Canada website.
