Volo Auto Museum
September 28, 2019

Hello Folks. Save the date September 28th. Bob and I will be hosting out tour to the Volo Car Museum. We’ll be starting out at the Starbucks in South Elgin, where we started the Railway tours. 9:30 drivers meeting with cars out by 10am. Bob and I have finalized a route.

There is a shaded parking area that is available on a first come basis, I plan to reserve or block off a section for our group. They have a Show Biz Pizza place on the premises with concessions such as pizza and hotdogs. With our wristbands we can come and go throughout the day and there are multiple food options in the area. Bob and I checked out Billy’s Barrel . Decent burger but too small to handle a group our size. There is also Fratello’s Hot Dogs (more than hot dogs) and even a McDonalds nearby. The museum has a picnic area but I haven’t yet gotten clarification about bringing in food from off premise to the picnic area. They don’t allow in the Show Biz Pizza except for infants.

Standard admission is
Adult (13 to 64) $15.95 ea. Senior (65 plus) $13.95 ea. Child (5 – 12) $8.95 ea.
Child under 5 is free.
Group discount is $2 off adult (13 and up), $1 off senior (65 and older), $1 off children (5 – 12)

We expect the ride to take us a little over an hour to get to the museum. Once there we can check out all the exhibits and get something to eat.

Triad Fall Car Care Safety Clinic for Seniors October 12, 2019 — 8 a.m. to 12 noon It’s hard to believe that summer flew by so quickly. On Saturday, October 12th, we will be performing our pre-winter vehicle checks for our senior drivers. The location is Lisle Township, 4711 Indiana Ave, Lisle, IL 60532 from 8:00 a.m. to noon. These clinics, held in Spring and Fall each year, get larger each time it’s held. As always, an operation like this requires volunteers to help with the inspections. Chicagoland MG club members have always been a key element to the success of these events, serving on vehicle inspection teams as well as displaying their vehicles for our seniors. Please set aside a few hours to participate in this fun-filled, yet very important service. Call or email me if you can participate. Thanks so much in advance. I hope to hear from you soon!
