All you need to do is post a message to this list and you could probably get a lift. Another option is pick up the Club van on Saturday while the office is open than then pick up anyone who has no car at Billings an hour before the ride and drive the whole kit and kaboodle to the remote start. Then drop the van off at the Club office on Monday evening when the office is open. You'd have to check with Rosmarie to make sure it is not already booked.
