Hello Club Members,

I hope that you are all doing well.  As for me, my new knee is healing great and has become my strongest leg.  My right leg is going to need replacing too, as it is bone on bone and has been for a while.  It gives me trouble walking and makes me unsteady, buckling without warning.  I haven't been to many club events lately, as it is really hard to walk, especially on grass or uneven pavement.  I am working on getting the replacement scheduled.  I may also need a hip joint replacement in the future.  At 77 years old, it seems that I am falling apart.

For those of you that aren't heading to the lakes this weekend, there is a Cruise-In on Monday, Sept. 7th, (Labor Day) at Georgetown Square on East State Street in the Fort.  The time is 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM.  Several of our members are planning to be there.  If you get bored, come on down.

September 19th is The Heartbeat of Hoagland Car Show.  Several of our members attended last year and it was a nice show in the city park.  It is from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM.  Admission is only $10.00.  They will have chicken dinners, burgers, and hot dogs from 11:00 to 2:00.  Heritage Lions Ice Cream Truck will also be present.   Awards given out to vehicles 1999 and older.  

If you want to caravan there, meet at 10:00 AM at The 9-Mile Restaurant on US 27 South.

On Friday Sept 11th is The Cornfield Cruise-In in Columbia City at City Auto Mall.  Starts at 6:00 PM.  Quite a few members attended last year and they really packed them in.  Something to consider.

I hope, but can't guarantee that I can be there.  

That's all the news from Hoosierland, COME FLY WITH US!

Best regards,

Roger Noll, President
