SEPTEMBER 16th WINE CRUISE: Sue D. and Peggy B. have arranged a wonderful cruise to Hidden Lake Winery in Illinois. They have promised us reserved parking and seating. The Missouri contingent will meet at the Mason Ridge Elementary School on the southwest corner of Mason Rd. and Hwy 40 (across the hwy from Troop C hdqtrs), at 10:45. We will leave at 11:00 and proceed to a surprise location for lunch before we get to the winery. The Metro East Illinois people can wait for us at I255 and I64 headed east. We'll have an approximate 'drive by' time later. Peggy is also assembling a caravan from out state Illinois to come down and meet the rest of us for lunch. They will leave her house at 10:00. This is the perfect event for those members who live in Illinois and those who prefer those Sunday events. Hope to see you there!
