Next Meeting

Sunday, July 16, cruising to Black River Falls to eat at the Skyline, tour a nostalgic train at Dave Hoffman Construction Co, visit Scorpion Supply Co. (fasteners), and for those who want to…make a donation at the casino. Meet in the parking lot at Bridgeview Plaza at 1000 and depart at 1030. Please rsvp to Don Strittmatter at 769-0564 so we can give the Skyline a headcount. Club members should arrive prior to 1000 for a short meeting. Members of other local car clubs have been invited to join up for this scenic cruise. Also mark your calendars for the club picnic on July 29^th.

Last month the club had a cruise from LaCrescent to Pickwick, MN. Although the rain threatened, it turned out to be a wonderful evening. The cruise along Apple Bloosom Drive was spectacular as usual and the food at the Pickwick Inn was delicious. Fifteen members participated that evening.
