A few small updates.
We have a few people coming to Friday's dinner. LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE COMING. I need to talk to the people there and let them know. We are planning on hitting up the Union Wood Shop around 3pm that way we can do the cruise in Mt. Clemens.
The “GroupMe” program works. Just please, do not reply to the messages that we send. Your replies get forwarded to everyone in the group. And some do not have text messaging plans. If you have any questions, you can email me at this email address, or call me at 847-606-3813.
Still working on the official driving directions... wow there are a lot of turns.
Also a few mentioned that they would like to get together on Saturday.
We will meet at the WPC Museum @ 3:30 pm on Saturday. I have attached a 2 for 1 coupon. The museum closes at 5 so that should allow people to go around and view everything. After they close we will probably hang around for a bit then head to dinner.
ALSO, Russ's Drive In restaurant in Muskegon is closed on Sundays. We will instead be going to Dog N' Suds Drive in (much cooler IMO) just down the street (address below). I hope to be getting there around 6pm after the USS Silversides.
