Hello I want to welcome you!

    I am Butch Rhodus, a Coordinator for Indiana of the Chevy Avalanche Fan Club.  I am retired from Delco Remy (a GM factory) that was in Anderson Indiana. I am Married to Joan and we have 3 grown kids. We own a 2007 Custom Avalanche. You can read my SIG below to see a GTG Calendar and track upcoming GTG's.

   We have three other coordinators in the state.

Z66 BUTCH---------------East Central Indiana Coordinator
Didit-----------------------Central Indiana Coordinator
LakeFx--------------------Northern Indiana Coordinator
CntrySngr72 ------------Southern Indiana Coordinator

If anyone wants to start a Cruise or GTG in Indiana please let the coordinator in your area know about it and then post details about it in this area. You do not need to be a Coordinator to have a GTG, anyone is welcome to host one! If you have a idea, post up and lets get it going. Indiana is a active state, please join us at a GTG soon!!

Please check in, if you wish you can tell us a little about you and your Avalanche when you check in. The Indiana Chapter is growing and on the move!

Butch
 
Hi Butch,
I live in southern Indiana and a new AV owner. Is this the right chapter?

Yea, this is the only Indiana Chapter as far as I know. I have put you on the list as a Indiana member. Have you found the thread about the Central Indiana MODDING GTG? I have loads of GREAT ITEMS that will be given away at that event! If you can make it, please reply to that thread. Ohh, WELCOME TO THE CLUB!

hello funkypunnk,

I live in Dyer, IN on the other side of Merrillville, in the IN-IL border.

We should try to get together sometime, and tag some more avs in our area, because I see a lot of them around.

Hope to see/meet you on sep 20 at Butch's GTG.

David
 
Butch,
You have me down as living in Indiana. I'm from Chicago but since noone wants to put my name on the Illinois chapter than you can still use it :6:.

Oops again! I removed your name, you are still in Region III but I am just gathering names from Indiana members.

See you in September, Butch
 
Doesn't it seem like whenever you want something it always goes by so slowly? When is the 20th going to be here? Geez, it feels like last year when I planned on coming down. Well, another minute has passed by. Still many more left. :6:
 
Apparently I've talked about the Indy GTG to much.
I have to have knee surgery, and when I was talking to my wife about when in Sept to have it, her first reponse was, "Well when is your AV GTG? You won't want to be laid up THAT weekend!"

So come next Fri, I'll have my knee scope'd, and I'll have plenty of time to get on my feet for the 20th/21st.
 
I live in Northern Indiana/Southern Michigan. 13 of my acres are in Indiana and 7 are in Michigan. It's a real pi$$er come tax time.

I'm not sure if I belong in the Central Indiana group or one of the Michigan groups.

Maybe I can be fortunate enough to belong to both????

I would say that because the majority of your property is in Indiana that you belong to us. Members are free to attend meets and cruises in any chapter that they wish. I have attended GTG's with the Chicago chapter, The Southern MI Chapter and the OH chapter! If you find a cruise or GTG the sparks your intrest, just show up!

That is putting your priorities in order! Hope you are OK to travel.

Are both of you guys staying overnight and going to BREAKFAST AFTER THE MODS with us?

I'll be fine.

It'll probably just be me making the trip. (all 25 miles of it :) )
Oldest son has a football game that morning so I probably won't make it until 1:30pm-ish, and then I'll just come back home that evening. Thanks for the invite!

 
Hi Indiana! This is a place for all Indiana members to check in and say 'HI', tell us about your AV, your family, your job, tell us any ideas you have for GTGs, start the planning, whatever.

Central Indiana is the name of the official Indiana Chapter run by Z66Butch, but all of Indiana is invited to participate in anything going on. Feel free to check in here and if you start getting a large Southern or Northern group together, you are welcome to get your own Chapter going! Northern Indiana members might be interested in joining the new Southern MI Chapter started by bcavanau.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or Z66Butch!

tdallenkk and yellowz71,
I am glad to hear from you guys! I look forward to meeting you both at the Central Indiana Modding GTG That will be held on September the 20th. With you guys signing up we are up to 40 members that are planning on attending this event!

See you on September the 20th! Butch

Good to see that someone in indiana is putting together a gathering.. I'm not sure i can make it but i'm right down the road from you in Fishers. I have a 03 grey Z71. can you let me know what all is planed.. and call me stupid but what does GTG stand for?

Thanks for your hard work for all the indiana members.

Later
Doug
 
Doug, welcome to the club! GTG stands for Get Together. What we have planned is a all day "MODDING" GTG. I have over 45 sponsers that have donated some nice items for the Avalanche and they will all be given away to members and installed here this Saturday! If you have time, give me a call on my 1-800-201-4350 number and I will explain it to you.

Hope to see you Saturday, Butch
 
Z66 Butch


Glad to see the site is back up and running. Was a member before, I couldn't get my old username and password to work so I reregistered. I liked my "02" Z66 so well I went from a Lease to a purchase on an "03" Z71. Think I liked the 66 better, but come a good ass deep snow we'll play. Glad to see the Indiana group getting organized.
 
Welcome back! We will be having more GTG's and getting to know everyone soon! If anyone has a idea for a GTG post it and we will try to help you with the plans. I plan on a cruise to meet with the Tennessee group this weekend, does anyone want to cruise down there with us?

Butch
 
HELLO TO ALL INDIANA MEMBERS. I AM A NEWW NEW MEMBER, LOCATED AT ANDERSON. I HAVE A YELLOW AV WHICH I PURCHASED IN MARCH, ESPECIALLY TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE TRIP TO CALIFORNIA WITH MY 35 YEAR OLD SON. HE IS A JEEPER AND WE JEEPED ON THE RUBICON TRAIL IN JULY. THE YELLOW AV WAS A JOY TO DRIVE BUT IT DID NOT GO ON THE RUBICON. SEE PICTURE ATTACHED.

Welcome to the club Yelotrk.

I don't know what happened to Region III but there hasn't been much action down this way lately.

Anyway welcome and enjoy all the great info, and the great people that make this a fantastic club.

David
 
Welcome to the club, yelotrk! Another AV down Butch's way. He should have a pretty good size Chapter by now! (y) ;D
