2014 Monthly Schedule - Cruise-ins and other good times!

Post by IowaM1N1 »

March 1 -- the Meteorological First Day of Spring! What a perfect day to start planning out our club calendar for the year!

As a reminder, this club has no officers or elected officials. It is run by YOU! And me! And all of us! And it takes all of us to step up and take some ownership to make this club the good time that it is.

Volunteers are needed to coordinate an event for each month. As volunteers step up, we'll capture the names here and post the official invitation in the Announcements folder when we get a date established.

It is perfectly OK to have more than one event each month -- feel free to set up an additional event for any given month if you are so inspired!

Step right up!

..... -Tour de Donut by RagTopDay on Sat March 15 LINK

April :
..... -TBD by Minidave on Thursday, April 24 LINK

Mini Take The State 2014

Since I can't drives the full event, I am thinking about leaving KC to Memphis on August 3 Sunday, bright and early. Drives thru Harrisonville, Clinton, Bolivar, Springfield, down to Memphis on Hwy 63..... should be a nice drive

Driving time is a little over 7 hours, 450 miles , give and takes

Then hook up with the Mini Take the State 2014 Group and drive to St Louis with the Group on Monday, stays a night. Then I will head back to Kansas city on Tuesday....


I wonder if anyone interested to a short weekend trip ,,,

I have an event for August as well. It is an event to raise money for wounded warriors. The best part is that it is a family style party with a car show! Sign me up for August. I can also do an event in June or Zack can do his drive. No worries.

You can do more than one event in June lol. I thought it would be nice to do one to Lawrence earlier with nicer weather.

Looks like the Cruise to Lawrence will be September 13th based on the 2014 football schedule. Put me down as leading a cruise-in to Lawrence for the 13th of September. Probably gonna park outside Brits like last time and I will figure out another dining venue as well.
