Presidents Remarks...

Has anybody seen Winston?  Wow what a fast car!  He passed Maralee and I on the way to Madison County and we never saw him again!  We all need to do a better job of looking out for each other.  

New members and old friends won't want to miss our Party on December 1st.  Mark it on your calendar now and be sure to send your reservations... see details below.  We want everyone to be there!

It's been a great year for our club and a new event calendar is being prepared for next year.  If you would like to suggest a special event or host one, let us know.  I'ts your club, so tell us what activities you would like to add... wine tasting, dealer visits, tech sessions, driver training, race trips, dinner and a play... How about it?

The October event

We had a great day for the drive to Winterset.  Even though it threatened rain we found none.  It was a bit windy in Winterset but we still found it a interesting and fun time.  Some of us toured the John Wayne birthplace.  It was quite interesting with many photos and memorabilia from his days in the movie business.  Around the square there were many food and drink vendors as well as craft stands.  Of special interest was the home made Root Beer and the Kettle corn.  There was a very large collectable car show covering 5 or 6 blocks.

Thanks to many members of the Schonesland (Des Moines) club for joining us.

It was a fun event and I recommend the Covered Bridge Festival to anyone who wants to attend in the coming years.  PS.  We didn't drive over the covered bridge.  There is one that can be driven over but it is on a gravel road.
