Come and join us Thursday October 15th, 6:30 pm at Schoop's in Crown Point for our monthly Membership meeting.
Down the road:
Our Turkey Rally will be held on November 7th. The starting point of the rally will be in Crown Point at the Strack and Van Till on 200 W. Franciscan Drive.
What is the Turkey Rally? The turkey rally is an event that spans an obscure
course through some part of Northwest Indiana. Every car needs a driver and a co-driver and will be provided route instructions that can be rather
obscure...which is where you will find the fun, and frustration! Each vehicle has to be licensed and street legal. The objective is to complete the treasure-hunt-like course and work towards meeting the target mileage. The team closest to the correct mileage wins! At the end of the drive, we all meet at the final destination and have dinner and laughs! Event details (Tentatively): - Meet at Strack and Van Till
- 200 W. Franciscan Dr.
- Crown Point, IN 46307
- $20 per car
- Registration: 8:00-9:00 am
- Driver's meeting at 9:30 am
- First car off at 10:00 am
- Converge on Final destination around lunch time - roughly
Note: The final destination will be considered our membership meeting for November. If you do not want to take part in the rally, but would like to join us for lunch, we will provide the final destination (once it has been determined).
Further down the road: - Christmas party December 5th. Location TBD
- 2015 Awards Banquet, January 23rd, 2016
