Next Promenade: 20 March 2025
Winter Break in session
I will place information relative to our Locale, it's members and associated activities on this page. Please read through the information placed here to keep up on those things that affect us here at #1182. I will be sending out reminders of activites that may get lost over time and in between Promenades. Have an idea for the page, let me know, all is welcomed. Thank you.
The Nationale Headquarters has sold their building on East 38th Street in Indianapolis, Indiana. Correspondant Ron Rolfes advised it was a downsize move due to rising costs, but primarily for the safety of the staff. They have accepted the offer on this building and have provided a bid and purchased a new location. The new location is 1635 Hawthorne Drive, Plainfield, Indiana 46168 outside of Indianapolis.

Membership- The 2025 Membership cards are in and we are committed and paid up for 2025. Thank you all, but.... we need 3 new Voyageurs before the end of this coming membership year for quota. We continue to loose our members and are not recruiting to keep this Voiture in existence for the future. Please look to recruit a new Voyaageur you think is worthy of an Invitation into our Locale. I would like to have applications throughout the winter for actions to be taken at our first promenade in March after the break. Need an app, get in touch with me.
This year is the 75th Anniversary of the Merci Train arriving in the United States in 1949 from France. Please read up on it's history on our tab on this website. Additionally, we have been informed that there will be a 75th Anniversary Train Challenge Coin and are on a first come, first serve basis. The cost is $15.00 each. If you want one, let me know very soon so I can get the request in.
Remember: When you enter the Chateau for Promenades, you will be first challenged for your current membership card. After that a challenge for the official password will be requested before entry/sign in is granted. Please note the password for this year has changed. It will not be placed on the website, please contact one of your officers for the new password for the 2024-2025 year. Please assure you know the password. If not, ask another Voyageur before entering. Make sure your membership card is also signed by you.
All Voyageurs are enrolled in Carville Star. We continue to support the National Box Car association. Chef de Gare Turner is heading up our pins inventory. Questions about them should be directed to him.
