What`s so tough about a two hour drive except that I have to go to Credit
Union and take out a loan so I can fill up the gas tank. Seriously I live in
Fort Wayne, IN. and I joined the ExK club some years ago that have meetings
in different members homes, in Indianapolis, 2hrs, Anderson, 11/2 hrs.
Lafayette, 21/2 hrs. and I miss very few of those meetings. We have a great
group, the Wileys, Big Al Anderson,and Charley Grimes to name a few. We all
chip in on the eats, have a business meeting, and talk Killies. You can go
early and roam the fish room and see how other members to their thing, it`s
something I look forward every month. By all means get a group together,
drive to a meeting and enjoy, you won`t regret it. Regards, Duane
