Next Meeting - June 13th, 2009

June 13, 2009:  The Poplar Grove Vintage Wings and Wheels Museum has invited our club to their monthly Dogs N’ Brats Day lunch at the museum.  If enough club members attend, they will provide special parking and an opportunity to tour the aviation museum.  They are located just North of Belvidere, Illinois (East of Rockford).  This was the site of the East Meets West photo in 2004.  We will probably meet somewhere further South and cruise to the museum (unless you live in Wisconson).  We will hold our June club meeting at this location.
