President’s Message

Hi Everyone,
Well here it is September and the weather here
in St Louis has been wonderful.
We had a great time in Danville, IL at Jerry
Armstrong’s ride. Great ride and good weather.
Thanks to Jerry and Connie for putting this ride
together. Also thanks for the meal after the ride.
We have not heard anything about the proposed
National Meet in Springfield, IL It would be nice to have it in Springfield but
I am going to say that our club is not going to sponsor it. We do not have enough active members. If the national meet does end up in Springfield and some of our members want to get involved on their own
that will be up to them.
Don't forget the Fall Color Cruise from St Charles,
Mo to Grafton, IL on Sunday, Oct. 18.
Contact Allen Knarr (314) 458-5518 or Ron Kilgore
(314) 427-1506 for more information.
Also check the national magazine for more details..
We need to start thinking about the winter dinner.
It will be at the same place as last year.
February 27, 2010 at Hometown Buffet - Hickory
Point Plaza 994 South Route 51, Forsyth, IL. (217) 872-8221. More later on time
and reservations.

Dear Cushman Friends,
Just a Hi and a thank you for continuing the
‘Poker Run’ in Joe’s memory. It means so much to me and you
know how happy that would make Joe. I hope you had fun at the Arthur Meet. I’m sure you did. It was always
such a fun meet. What happy Cushman Memories I have. Thank You,
Happy Riding,
Arline
Little Funny
A burglar broke into a house and shined his flashlight
around for valuables. He picked up a CD player when a strange disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying , “ Jesus
is watching you.” He nearly jumped out of his skin. He clicked off his
flashlight and froze. When he heard nothing more he continued. Just as he was
pulled the stereo out he heard, “ Jesus is watching you.” Freaked
out he shined his light frantically. Finally in the corner of the room his light beam came to rest on a Parrot. “Did
you say that?”, he hissed at the parrot. “Yup” the parrot confessed,
then squawked “I’m just trying to warn you that he's watching you.”
The burglar relaxed. “Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?” “ Moses”, replied the bird. “Moses?”, the burglar laughed. “What kind of people would name a
bird Moses?” “The same people that would name a Rottweiler
Jesus."
