2009
hosted by
The South Bend Transportation Club, Inc.
On Wednesday, April 29, 2009, SBTC held their 85th Annual Dinner at Windsor Park Conference Center in Mishawaka.
Despite a tough economy, the event brought over 150 members and guests to this exiting social dinner. This shows tremendous support of the club.
We also want to apologize to those who attended the dinner. As everyone was aware, our scheduled guest speaker was Joe Kernan. But due to unfortunate circumstances, Mr. Kernan was unable to attend.
We were very fortunate and pleased to have with us, Bob Nagle. Bob, who every year has joined us, stepped up to the podium and made all of us laugh as well as inspiring us.
