Greetings, AAM Members - I have returned from Indy -
I had never been to Indianapolis and really only thought of it as home of the Indy 500.
HOWEVER, John Trimble, AAM Board of Directors, lives in Indy and guided me around this lovely city. He really should receive an honor - He LOVES Indianapolis and can't wait to show it off! We have some fun things planned and there will be a great speaker line-up for the training.
While I was there, John's office let it slip that he has recently received the IU McKinney School of Law's Distinguished Alumni Award. I posted the article below - Congratulations, John. I think he should run for Mayor or even give the Visit Indy folks a run for their money! He is so excited that AAM is finally coming to his hometown and can't wait for that time to arrive.
Join me - if you have never been, there is so much more than just the awesome speedway! We will have a private tour on Saturday afternoon that has been created just for us! The tour will include the beautiful Indiana Museum of Art and the Gardens of that museum - around 100 stunning acres! It was beautiful at this time of year with the turning leaves and outdoor sculptures!
We will go to the Speedway and give plenty of time for those that want to visit the museum and/or ride the bus around the track!
Golfers have a special treat if staying long enough to golf. There is a course that was designed by noted golf course designer Pete Dye with four holes to play within the oval of the Speedway. The course at Brickyard Crossing is sure to be one of your most unusual courses.
Music, art, culture, food and wine tastings are in our Indy future! Let's go to Indy! If you've never been - what better time to go than with a group of AAM friends! Hope to see you in Indianapolis in April 2018! If you have questions, please just email or call me. Let's talk - I'm sure John will have the answers if I can't find them!
