Milwaukee MINIs has brought back their Fall Foliage Drive & (Non-Alcoholic) Poker Run by popular request with a revised route, and virtually all right-hand turns! They will have a pre-drive meeting at Cooper Park, and then begin a 65-mile adventure including rustic roads in the Holy Hill area and the Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive in the Lake Country area to enjoy the fall colors.
Afterwards, the group will eat lunch in Delafield, WI at your choice of Wells Street Tavern or The Loaf & Jug. Both of the Delafield restaurants are next door to each other. Map
The Poker Run for those who are not familiar with it, is a drive which includes a number of stops along the way where each driver collects a playing card. The driver with the best poker hand at the end of the drive wins!
Please let Theresa Nemetz know via an email response by Friday Oct. 17th at 9AM if you & guests plan on attending, so that she will have a potential head count. They have requested an advance RSVP.

I’m strongly considering going on the drive. If anyone else is going to we want to drive to Milwaukee together? Kathy
Updated information from Theresa
If you already have RSVP’d for Sunday’s Fall Foliage Drive: Note that you should arrive between 8:30 am and 8:45 am, and we will depart around 9 am in groups. We already have over 40 MINIS coming!!
If you haven’t RSVP’d yet: If you plan to come, please let us know so that we are sure to have enough poker cards!
To everyone: Each year we collect items for a local charity. This year the charity will be “With Wings & A Halo” and we are collecting new and used books that will then be placed in police cars in WI and IL so that they can be used to calm children who find themselves in the middle of trauma or domestic abuse situations. We are starting up the collection early (I am actually doing this for a class project and need to get an extra good grade!), so if you happen to come across any books in your closet, be sure to bring them and toss them in my boot! And if you are willing to collect books yourself, please let me know. It’s really simple - just send an email and then put a box outside of your office cubicle!
