April 24 – Hoosier State Day Trip to Chicago

by

FYI:  James and Phil will both be in Indianapolis at 5:00 AM to meet members and they will also pick up some members in Crawfordsville, if you desire to catch the train at another location…

 Our VP,  Phil Streby, will be escorting the group on the “Hoosier State” day trip to Chicago.  He is planning on breakfast on the morning train and dinner on the evening train.  After arrival in Chicago (about 10 AM), you can either board a CTA bus to Michigan Avenue, or you can walk the mile and then take Bus #10 to the Museum of Science and Industry.   Bus fare is $2.00 each way, and transfers are $0.25.  Trip to museum will take about 35-45 minutes.  We will need to be back at Union Station no later than 5:15 PM to be ready for 5:45 departure. There is only one train; if we miss it , we Greyhound back to INDY.
Please NOTE: each individual (family) must make their own reservations with AMTRAK  :  www.amtrak.com
You can catch the train at any stop along the way, as the group is NOT making any plans for a particular station stop!!!

2016 – 1ST BOARD MEETING HIGHLIGHTS

by
  1. If you haven’t paid your dues for this year, they are OVER DUE. Your April newsletter will be the last issue!!!
  2. For various reasons, the Board decided to cut back the Newsletter to quarterly… therefore, the next newsletter will be April 2016, and other methods of  communication  will be utilized. The newsletter will always have more detail than the webpage, so you will need to check the webpage more frequently.
  3. We are looking for open house sponsors for summer touring. Please step up and volunteer, as this is your club! Along those lines, Bud Hunter /Rex Bowman will have an open house on June 18.
  4. As , usual please feel free to email any officer, with suggestions and comments.
  5. We are looking for a permanent  webmaster, so if you are interested or know of someone willing to assume this responsibility, please let the President James Driesbach know.

Latest Newsletters and website issues

by

Hi all,

Recently you may have had an issue trying to log in to the website. There was an automatic update that caused some issues to everyone’s account. It has since been resolved (knock on wood). In the process of fixing the issue I had to reset all the passwords for every account. You can regain access to the website with your account after you complete a password reset.

I have also update the Newsletter page with (hopefully) better organization.  Please let me know your thoughts on the new layout.
