Members & Officers
 Cruising is all about our enthusiastic fondness for our unique American car culture and our great, fun loving cruisers. The Fun Time Cruzers keep the nostalga alive at our Monday Night Lakeside Circle Cruize-In . Welcome to our own SE Michigan version of "American Graffiti".
Club History...(history updated 1-17-2011)
We started our car club in January 2006, however, we had our beginning in May 2005 at the Lakeside Mall in Sterling Heights, MI (across the street from our present location). Ken Savage's son Ryan was working for a home theater store in the mall, and the owner asked us to help him organize a weekly cruise-in.Monday night was chosen for this event because it was the worst day of the week for retailers in this area and everyone agreed that a cruise-in could bring lots of classic cars along with 100-200 more people to the mallwhich was also beneficial for the mall food court. Our humble beginning turned out to be absolutely phenomenal and with a small number of 30 cars on the first night, we grew to average 100 cars every week by the end of the 2005 cruising season.
After the original and only sponsor decided not to continue the cruise-in for 2006, Ken, Ginny & Ryan Savage, decided to see if our many new cruising friends would be interested in continuing our special Monday night cruise-in. We were pleasantly surprized by the incredible response we received from so many great car buffs, and with their support, we decided to create a new car club in January 2006, ......the Fun Time Cruzers (FTC). By that May, we had over 50 "family" membershps (100+ members) and started cruzin at our new location with many new sponsors. As many as 160 classic cars have attended our event on a single Monday night, and the word continues to spread about the "fun times" we have at the Monday Night Lakeside Circle Cruise-in.
In 2007 & 2008 our Club helped establish other local area weekly cruise-ins and supported several annual car shows in our SE Michigan area. We helped provide sponsors for the North Gratiot Cruise that contributed $15,000 in 2008 for the Macomb County/Chesterfield Police K9 Units. In both 2008 and 2009, we contributed over $1,000 to Mothers Against Driving (MADD), plus hundreds of dollars to other charitable organizations.
In 2010, our primary charity was changed to the Children's Lukemia Foundation of Michigan, and we also madedonations to the American Red Cross, St Jude's Children's Hospital, Shriners, Autism Research and others.
Some of the exciting events the club members enjoy are our annual picnic held at Brandenburg Park on Lake St. Clairon Jefferson Avenue south of 23 Mile Road in New Baltimore on the second Sunday in July, club group parking at major SE Michigan car shows, and our annual club meeting and holiday party the first Sunday in December. Our weekly summer activities include our charity 50/50 raffle, giving away 25 sponsor prizes and 13 different9 X 12 award plaques to our luckly cruzers every Monday evening. Cruzers at our event also enjoy having their cars photographed every week and placed in the Photo Gallery of our web site. And we send out a Roxio PhotoShowwith rock n roll music via email to all our weekly visitors with cool photos of their fabulous cars. No other car club in Michigan provides a weekly cruise-in with our number of prizes, awards, and overall entertaining activities.
Due to our phenominal 30%+ growth in our membership in both 2009 & 2010, and in order to keep the Fun Time Cruzers a small, but friendly and manageable social organization, our members decided to limit our membershipto 200 families or 400 individuals. We acknowledge all the challenges our unique American cruzing hobby mayendure in the future, and our members and club directors will strive to maintain FTC as one of the very best car clubs in Michigan. .......Come visit us at Lakeside Circle in Sterling Heights on Monday nights.........
You do not have to be a FTC Club member to attend our weekly cruize nite. All cruizers are welcome! It is because of you, our loyal cruzers & Members, that the Fun Time Cruzers is a successful, fun organization.
JOIN THE FUN! WE KNOW YOU WILL HAVE A "FUN TIME" SEEING OLD FRIENDS & MAKING NEW ONES!
THANKS EVERYONE! ....Ken & Ginny (with our "Sweet as Candy" 57 BelAir and at the Woodward Dream Cruise)
