Inspections will be held at Sam Leman Jeep in Morton tomorrow (Saturday 3/5) at noon.  The club is providing lunch; please post in the forum if you are coming so that we can plan for food.  As Larry posted in the forum, please congregate at the south end of Walton Avenue when you get there so that we stay out of their way until they close the shop, which closes at noon.

All current club members just received an email with the link to our Zoom meeting for this Saturday, 2/6/2021 at 12:00.  Please don’t share the link on social media or our forum.  If you didn’t get it, please contact me.  If you’ve never Zoomed before, give it a try… it’s not too difficult, and you can connect with pretty much any device you have that was made this century.  Sorry, Commodore Amiga owners… you’ll have to sit this one out.

This is normally the time of year where I post not-so-gentle reminders for folks to renew their memberships before the end of January to avoid our bylaw-coded penalty.  Not so, this year.  As per our December Zoom meeting, all 2020 members are renewed for 2021 at no cost, since we really didn’t do much or spend a lot from the treasury.

Watch this site and/or the forum for info on our next meeting, which will likely be via Zoom again.  If you want input on the schedule for 2021, visit the forum and express your opinions.  It will likely be approved at the next meeting.

The meeting this Saturday, December 5th at noon will be done via Zoom videoconferencing.  Earlier today I emailed the link to all members.  If you didn’t receive it, reach out.  See you Saturday!

The member pages on the site are now up to date.  Why so late in the year?  Because 2020.  If you have information you’d like to have updated… a photo added or replaced, new Jeep stats, etc… just let me know.

Due to Governor Pritzger’s new restrictions on restaurants in our region, next Saturday’s club meeting (11/7) has been cancelled.  Watch this space for information on how club officer nominations will be conducted.

Hey you… yeah, you!  The new guy who found this site.  Are you interested in joining?  You probably read about us but now you’re wondering what to do next.  If you own a Jeep (or specifically as per Article 3, you own a vehicle titled as a Jeep), you’re qualified.  New members are always welcome at our regular meetings and cruise-ins.  Bring a filled-out membership form with you and we’ll get you squared away.

Returning members… it’s getting close to renewal time.  As per our bylaws, returning members must renew by the end of January to avoid the $10 penalty fee.  Bring your membership form to the next meeting along with cash or a check made out to Mid-Illini Jeepers and give it to Jill Martin or Fraser Yarker.
