Illinois Chapter
Remember to bring a lawn chair.........it might be rough standing a long time.
IF you are interested in becoming an officer speak up at the meeting. I'm sure we'll expand the officers numbers and roles as we progress further.
My "Truck" for Sunday will be my Blue 93' Crown Vicki. I may be wearing my 4th Infantry Division cap so I can be spotted quickly. If you think about it bring a pen or pencil.........to vote/fill out a chapter information sheet.
Thanks to everyone so far for their interest and support, Ron

This Sunday is looking like it's going to be a really good day, weather-wise. 75 degrees and sunny. So, there will be a brown 79 F100 shortbed that is in MINT condition making an appearance! I can't wait!! Should be a fun day!

Membership??
Dear Ronald,
I am interested in becoming a member of the Illinois Chapter. I currently own a 2002 F150 King Ranch 4x4 and a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer AWD Premium. I am also a Master Certified Sales Consultant for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury (as well as Government/Commercial Certified and Medium Duty Ford Truck Certified (F650-F750)), so I can provide industry news as well. I also have a very strong passion for Ford Trucks.
What do I need to do to become a member, and what does membership entail? I am located in Odin, IL (Southern Illinois)--very close to Salem, IL--and approximately 60 miles due East of St. Louis, MO.
Thank you in advance for your information!
Yours truly,
Brannon G. Eller
