Welcome To the Indy Cruisers

Hi and thank you for visiting The Indy Cruisers site.  It all began on August 25, 2001 at a small PT Cruiser show in Greencastle, In.  There were 14 cars in attendance that day and the talk began that "Indy needs a club."  The ball was rolling from that point on...and so the story goes. We have grown together and have enjoyed each others company for many years now. Our membership and club participation at events has been rather like an accordion here the past couple years but our friendship remains!! It is something else to think that this great little car has brought so many fantastic people together to enjoy the times we have. We hope it continues.......

The Indy Cruisers club is based in the Indianapolis, Indiana area and our site is dedicated to all of us who need an outlet to meet, greet, SHOW OFF and discuss one of the greatest cars Chrysler has ever released, the PT Cruiser!

We have no elected officers, no scheduled meetings, no dues and no rules – except for one – WE ALWAYS HAVE FUN!!!

Bill & Debby are handling the website, www.indycruisers.com and will be updating it with our club activities. We plan on keeping the website up to date with a list of events you may want to attend. Whenever you have any questions or any events you would like to list on the site, you may reach us by using the Contact Us button to the left.

Keep on Cruisin and Enjoy the Fun Times,

Bill & Debby

Gas Prices are Hitting Home

I know everyone would love to start getting out and hitting the road in their beautiful Cruisers,,,, but with the price of gas causing most everything to spike, Jake Musselman said their plans for an Indiana Historic Cruise is not going to happen this year. His plans include more backyard time in between jobs. Deb & I will try to keep things going and when we have an open weekend with good weather we will put something up here to get your attention,,, for a local cruise. So stay in touch and watch this page and the events page for possible short excursions to Cruising Paradise. A hint on when it might occur,,, it will not occur on the weekends where we have a ** on the events page....

Signed,

Have A Heart/Adopt A Soldier

Please support our Troops by going to Gladys Walker's website, Have A Heart/Adopt A Soldier. Gladys, a mother from Malone, NY, sends over 400 packages a month to our Troops overseas plus she supports their families at home. This is not a company doing this, this is a mother who's son has just returned from Iraq for the 3rd time. Please checkout her site at www.usahelp.us and support our Troops, you will be glad you did.

Ask yourself...how can I help? Here are a few simple ways YOU can SUPPORT our troops

1.     Sponsor a serviceman or woman. We need sponsors badly  All it takes is $10 per month for each soldier you want to sponsor (this just covers shipping for one package a month). You may send it monthly, quarterly or all at once, which ever you prefer. Go here to sponsor a Soldier http://www.usahelp.us/Sponsor_A_Soldier.html 

 2.      Some of you may just prefer to send a monetary donation.  It cost a lot to supply the troops with items from home and your donation can help buy some of the supplies.  We do need your support.      

3.      Be supportive of the different campaigns/fund raisers that we are doing on our website

4.    You may want to donate some of the items listed on our website:      (must be in original carton) You can buy any of the items listed and then pay postage to get them to me..or you may simply order supplies from www.minimus.biz  as they will ship your supplies to me ( no S & H fee ).

5. Or drop Gladys Walker an email at  soldier2@twcny.rr.com and ask her how you can help.......

Also check out America Supports You, a nationwide program launched by the Dept of Defense to recognize citizens support for our military men and women and communicates that support to members of our Armed Forces at home and abroad.  http://www.americasupportsyou.mil/americasupportsyou/index.aspx

Have you thanked a Veteran for your FREEDOM today?  Get your T-Shirts ($12 ea + shipping) today by sending me, Bill Doss, an email with your shirt size and quantity and I will let you know where to send the money. Every cent above cost will go to Gladys Walker so she may continue sending packages to our Heroes fighting for our FREEDOM.

 Checkout http://www.thefreedompt.com - in 10 weeks of selling shirts this summer we made over $1250.00 for Have A Heart/Adopt A Soldier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you all for your support.
