It is a joy to travel to Carmine for the first ride of the season. I can personally count 25 people who attended and we had beautiful weather. This was the 16th Annual Carmine Ride hosted by James and Jane Press.

Mary Kruska sent the photo of some Texas Cushman Club members who attended the Oklahoma State meet.
“We are constantly looking for new members just like TCC is, and as we transition through this change, our Texas and Oklahoma clubs are becoming more intertwined. I encourage our Oklahoma members to join TCC, and I invite our Texas friends to join the OCC.
Our dues are $15 a year. To join, there is an application for your convenience. And……………to the first 10 new members from Texas who send in their checks and tell Mike Estep that you read it in the Texas Cushman magazine, I will cover your dues for the first year!!!! Your check will be returned.” Paul Kruska quote from the 2023 February newsletter. There are still paid memberships to be claimed.

Expanded Meet Activities. If you want to come earlier or stay later and need to work on your scooter you are welcome. Tommy has a general good stock of new and used Parts and this would be a good opportunity to pick up what you need and install at the same time. Just order what you need from Tommy several weeks in advance and let me know when you want to come. It will also be a great time to do some trading or selling. If it rains, we will have plenty to get us involved. I have one bedroom and bath available, as well as three full 50 amp spots and one more 50 amp with Water. Three 30 amp with water. Make a donation for RV spots.

Due to the high cost of printing and mailed, there will only be a newsletter published in July. It will contain the spring rides and the information about the State Meet.
A blog post will be added to cover the Central Texas ride in Bastrop in May.
Please enjoy Richard Kesselus’s hospitality and share your stories.
