Bahnstürmers
Invade Rowe House

Well I finally decided to get something out to those of you who couldn’t attend the annual Bahnstürmers Christmas shindig.

This year’s get-together, as most of you know, was held in Des Moines at the soon-to-be-vacant home of Steve and Lulu Rowe.  I’m sorry if you missed it because the food was exquisite and the fellowship was of the quality that made you forget how cold it was outside.  Or, maybe that was the booze.  Either way, a big thumbs up to Steve and Lulu.

Thank you for opening your home and all the preparation and clean-up that goes with it!

doing except now we can clear the Third Saturday Of The Month @ 11:30AM as a meeting time. If no one sponsors a meeting location we’ve chosen the standard location to be the Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant, 202 SE Delaware in Ankeny.

Look at www.guadalajara-restaurant.com/275607.html for directions.

In an attempt to achieve a higher meeting attendance the club voted to standardize our monthly club meeting.

Unless otherwise announced, our regular meeting day and time will be the Third Saturday Of The Month @11:30AM.

We are still encouraging members to sponsor meeting locations just like we’ve been
