What is a “Thank You” Meetup? They are meets I have set up for us as a club to attend as a group and say “Thank you” to the various establishments that donated items for the Car Show basket auction this year. As you know it was a very successful auction, bringing in over $1500 dollars of net profit to the club. I think it’s only fitting that we help the donors be successful in return. In September and November we are also pretty light on activities and this will be a good way to fill in some blank weekends.

These will not be actual “tours” where we meet somewhere and drive as a group, but rather meet there at the specified time. You can attend one or both on a given day, but I hope we get good turnouts at all of them because it makes it much easier to go back and ask for items for next year’s car show.

This day’s Meet Up will be to Rising Storm Brewery in Lakeville, and 20 Deep Winery in Mendon.

Rising Storm in Lakeville you may recall as our lunch stop on last year’s Fall Tour, and this year they donated items for a basket. They offer food service for lunch, and we will meet there at 12:00 noon. Google Maps Link for Rising Storm is – Rising Storm

From there we will depart around 2:30 for a 30 minute ride to 20 Deep Winery in Mendon, arriving around 3:00. I will provide directions from Rising Storm to 20 Deep if needed. 20 Deep was also the end destination on last years fall tour. Their Google Map link is – 20 Deep Winery

You can attend one or both, but I hope we get good turnouts at each of them because it makes it much easier to go back the following year to ask for items for the car show. This will also be a rain or shine event. In the event of bad weather bringing the daily driver is acceptable.
