A Lot of the club have addressed an interest in this event.
You needed to get your reservations for the Holels done on your own, but, the Patsy Cline performance is $19.00 per person, and should have been in my hands already! We guaranteed 20 seats, and the club has paid for those seats, and we do not have checks and reservations for that many. Please write your checks and get them into the MINICCI address this week!
Thank You!!! Wanda

[millernoel19]

Well it took us a while but reservations made!

We just purchased our first Mini on June 25th. Horizon Blue hardtop with bonnet strips. We love it. I added chrome wheels and new tires for the summer. Looks great. We live in north Indiana about 20 miles from Warsaw. We would love to join the group for at least the Saturday schedule but we have a week end camping trip scheduled. We will keep watching for an event we can attend. Steve & Patty Schwartz Syracuse, In.
