I have a meeting scheduled with MAM next Friday (Aug 5). We will be going over the needs of the group. Any special requests? Last year we were at a dozen cars. This year? How much space do we need? 15 cars?

I'll request the air conditioned tent and full catering with an open bar. HAHAHA

On another note, I have yet to secure another block of hotel rooms. Still working on it.

Bob, THANKS for all of your hard work...Paula too.

For anyone that has not yet attended BobFest, you don't want to miss it!!! Bob & Paula work so hard to make sure everyone has a BLAST. Awesome friends & great food = BobFest (there will be cars too)

That's great, Bob. It was a great time last year at the Alamo. Excellent food and it was great having the entire upstairs to ourselves (but I'm sure the sound carried throughout the restaurant ).

Can't wait - I'm hoping for more XLR's than last year even. Lets shoot for at least 20 XLR's! I know you have plenty of room on your front lawn parking.

We have been able to reserve an additional 6 rooms at the Holiday Inn Express. 217-235-2060. If these fill up, Comfort Suites has rooms available. Because of the "special event" they will not reserve a block.

I would urge you to reserve your room asap.

That will be a treat in itself. Maybe they can do Karaoke while driving in the golf cart.

Default What timing....

I was in PA over the weekend and got a frantic call about water pouring into the basement. Seems that the water heater decided to fail in a big way.

Now the basement is all torn up and will have to be rebuilt. It will be a close race to have it done by the time you all are here.

I have a meeting and presentation with MAM on Friday regarding our group and how it fits in with Funfest. I have been working on a powerpoint presentation. Any suggestions/additions or volunteers?

Definitely include some of the awesome pictures of all of the XLR's grouped together (and include some FUNFEST 2010 pictures of our group). And some BOWLING GREEN ASSEMBLY PLANT pictures.

Just some ideas.
