Upcoming October Events- 
October 1st- Club Dues – Yes it’s that time again. Please contact Dick Stillwell if you have any questions. Sue sent out the invoices last week, if you haven’t gotten one yet please contact either Sue or Dick. 

October 10th- MSU Homecoming parade– Important Parade Information- Parade Staging and Start Time: Staging for parade entries will be in several locations in proximity to the Hannah Community Center at the intersection of Abbot Rd and Burcham Dr. Groups will not receive their staging location and number until they arrive and check-in the day of the parade. If your group has participated in prior years, do not assume that you’ll be in the same position as prior years. Staging for the parade begins at 4:30 p.m. and all groups must arrive no later than 5:30 p.m. The parade begins promptly at 6 p.m. Dick is going to drive one of his classic cars and he can hold 3 passengers…..so if you want a seat let Dick know.  I am purchasing candy for the event.  If you would like to be part of this please let us know…..we welcome all club members! We are hoping to have a couple members carrying the banner. So if you would like to carry the banner and walk the route, please let us know ASAP!

October 15th- Interclub-  Owosso meeting at 7am. If anyone would like to accompany us please let Chet Lewis know.

Good News from Scott!  We were once again approved for 4 (the max) dates for the 2026 calendar year.  And the dates are good – they honored my request to avoid summer as there are always less people at those events. It is a credit to the Club and the fact we are always well staffed, etc.  Heather is pretty happy with us. We have been assigned the following dates/events for 2026: Feb 2-6, Apr 6-9, Oct 19-22, Nov 16-19
