May is a time for the spring gathering of the Hoosier Cruisers
Mark your calendar for the first Hoosier Cruiser Rally
beginning April 30th and ending May 3rd. Come prepared to have fun. The Wessels and Landers have planned exciting
activities for everyone.
Hooiser Cruisers will arrive on Thursday at Ceraland, in
Columbus, Indiana. This is a great
campground with…level...sites. Each site
will have water and electricity. A dump
station is nearby. For the first time we
will have a meeting room available to us in the campground. So whether it is warm, a little cool, or
rainy we should still have a good time.
After members are set-up, the rally masters and assistant rally masters
are planning a soup supper for everyone.
This will also be a great time to gather and renew friendships.
Friday will be another fun packed day beginning a tour of
a Cummins engine plant. And what could
be better than following this with ice cream at Zaharakos, http://www.zaharakos.com/. This is a restored ice cream parlor that was
first opened in the early 1900’s and today they still serve homemade ice
cream. It also has an orchestrion which
is a mechanical music player.
Friday evening members will meet at Strawberry Fields
which is a tea room in the quaint town of Hope.
We will have a business meeting following our evening meal.
Saturday begins with a pancake breakfast. You won’t want
to miss pancakes flipped by the rally masters and assistant rally masters. The remainder of the day will be spent
exploring historic Nashville, following the architectural tour in Columbus, shopping
at the Edinburgh discount mall, or just napping. Be sure to be back for the Power House
micro-brewery tour followed by the Hoosier Cruiser inaugural baked potato bar. Members are asked to bring toppings for the
potatoes or a dessert.
The rally will end with coffee and donuts on Sunday
morning. After eating members are
invited to devotions before leaving for home.

flying by and all of a sudden June is only a few weeks away. GLAMARAMA 2015 will be held June 2-7 at the Elkhart County
4-H Fairgrounds in Goshen , Indiana .
Registration is now available on the FMCA website under
Chapters/Areas. You can download the
registration form or register online.
Again this year they will park us by chapters, so the earlier you
register they can get the chapter areas set aside. I am sure that like in the past you will need
to notify your Chapter President so they can notify the parking chairman. Please send that information to me along with
the type of camping your requested. Also, Thursday evening time has been set
aside for Chapter meetings and our Rally Masters Betty and Doug Tilmann are
planning a dinner for that time. More on
that to come. Don’t forget to register
early – Last year they sold out all available sites in the fairgrounds.

Christmas Party
Update and Announcement
NORTHERN AREA
CHRISTMAS PARTY 2014
The Christmas Party for the Northern Area was held at
Mullet’s Dining in Nappanee on Saturday, December 13. It went off without a hitch in contrast to
last year’s party which had to be canceled at the last minute due to terrible
winter snowy weather. We had
twenty-seven attendees all of whom ate too much. Mullet’s Dining is a small hall which is
owned and operated by an Amish family and they fed us as though we were hungry
field hands. We had tossed salad, fried
chicken, roast beef, green beans, noodles, turkey dressing, mashed potatoes,
and a half dozen yummy flavors of homemade pies.
It was a nice opportunity to meet and greet old friends and
make a couple of new ones. The ladies
had organized a sing-a-long and a gift exchange. We hung around after eating for most of the
afternoon and yakked and yakked and yakked.
It seems that when the Hoozie Cruisys get together there is never a
scarcity of conversation.
NORTHERN AREA CHRISTMAS PARTY 2015

northern group is going to try something new for 2015.
