LOOK FORWARD TO:
Enjoy some entertaining pizza at the Organ Piper Restaurant on 108th Street in Greenfield on June 1 at
5:00pm. They have a 1920's Wurlitzer theater organ which is played during the late afternoon and evening. This
event will be casual as you can order off the menu and pay on your own. Club members can either go direct to
the restaurant at 5:00pm or meet at Fox Run Lanes parking lot at 4:30pm to caravan to the restaurant.
The club will again be participating in the Waukesha 4th of July parade. Line up time and meeting location is
not available at this time. Watch your email and announcements at the club meeting for details.
LOOKING DOWN THE ROAD:
This period, June through August will be a little rough, having to move my parents, my focus will be on getting
them moved and settled.
August 4 will be a cruise to the Illinois Railroad Museum in Union, Illinois. Union, Illinois is about 75 miles
from Waukesha. The museum hosts a Car/Truck show that draws approximately 400 vehicles. Admission to the
museum and car show is $5.00 for car, driver and passenger. The museum is a big boy's dream. There is a one
to one scale train layout with classic cars displayed all around. Multiple trains will be running on the 5 mile main
line and 2-3 trolleys on the loop. These trains and trolleys give free rides to the attendees. We will be leaving at
7am and stopping for breakfast at the Blue Bay restaurant in Mukwonago, then going down I-43 to highway 120
to Lake Geneva, south into Illinois on Illinois high way 47 to Highway 176 west 3 miles to Union, Illinois. Pack a
lunch, the concession stand is busy and there is plenty of space for a picnic. We will leave when the fun meter is
pegged, (around 2:00) and will stop on the way home for something cold.
Picnic and Auction will be September 8 and same time and location as past years. Bring a dish to pass the
club provides the meat and beverage. Bring your trash to treasures, to be auctioned off with the proceeds
donated to charity. More details will be provided as we get closer to the date.
Any questions, for any of these events
call Tom Garibaldi @ 262-547-5212.
