Fun in Florida

What fun! Hoosier Cruisers gathered at the Sugar and Spice restaurant in Sarasota, Florida. Approximately 30 members attended the luncheon. All were excited at seeing old friends, sharing stories, and anxious for the new season of rallies to begin. The first rally will begin May 7th in Clarksville, IN.

As you can see we had a good time swapping tales in Florida.

Suz Snow Will Be Missed

Suz Snow was a member of the Hoosier Cruisers and will be missed by the members of the Hoosier Cruisers. Suz died in Port Charolette, Florida on February 12st. Suz and her husband, Charles, were instrumental in starting a winter luncheon gathering in Florida which continues today. Our prayers are with the family.
