As we discussed and decided in the February meeting, the SMCC will be traveling/cruising to the Corvair Museum in Glenarm, Illinois.
Mike Hall, curator of the museum, and the PCCA (Prairie Capital Corvair Association) will be hosting a picnic day for the combined clubs. There will be a “pot-luck” luncheon provided for the event where they will provide BBQ Beef sandwiches to share and in turn ask that attendees bring a side dish or dessert to share.
Let’s try to get as many of our members and their Corvairs to attend this event! It should be a fun-filled day beginning with the drive up there, to the viewing of the museum, to the camaraderie, socializing, story-telling, and tech tips of the combined clubs, and lets not forget the viewing of each others prized possessions, our Corvairs! We will plan on meeting at a yet to be determined location somewhere around where Hwy 70 & Hwy 55 meet (possibly Rt 143) and then caravan up to the museum. Mike has suggested we arrive around 11:00 a.m., so we would meet up around 9:30 a.m.
(Jefferson Underground to meeting place is about 25-30 minutes. Meeting place to Corvair Museum is about 55-60 minutes).
We can discuss this event further at our next meeting (tech session) at the Underground.
I told Mike I would give him an approximate number planning on attending, so please respond to this if you can make it or I will see you at next week’s meeting.
