Had the pleasure to spend all day today with Fred and Robert, at Greg Nunn's house.
You can bet your shiny penny they are going to the convention!
Hope they will take the fabulous Mini, too! Got to drive this beauty today, and it was a blast!

I had it on good authority that Fred and Robert were coming!
Looks like we are good to go and knowing this group, there will be a few more along the way. Maybe like Michael Turner and Marc Turbyfil? It is rumored that Michael Labue and his partner John may be there too.
I'll lift a glass to the event this evening with my crew in Frankfurt. It is nearly 3 AM for me so off to bed!

I am so excited.............
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">My first convention! Yay!</span>
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">And... planning the trip from Buffalo to Milwaukee by train. Cost effective as the airfare is just more than the budget will take. ALSO my first train trip! I have been wanting to travel by train (sorry Charlie!) for ages.</span>
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Such an opportunity!</span>
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">John, the pillowcases are, indeed, awesome. Only the best will do.........</span>

Greg F..........
I'm just glad you are coming! I've watched your posts for sometime and look forward to meeting you.
And, I'm all for travelling the best, most economical way--be it plane, train, bus, car or hitchhiking.
Have fun on the train! I have not done a really fun train trip since being in England about 5 years ago and do a fun tour. Make sure to take a meal, (on the train), if possible and visit the, "Club Car", if they still exist.
See you soon!

Breathe Easy................
We now have OVER 40 attending so all is well children!
Even last night Tania and I were talking current plans based on the numbers. As numbers increase, there are small, "tweaks", that have to made and we would like to have all attendees names so name tags can be awaiting them at sign in.
Other news:
Barb MacMillan, Scott MacMillan and John Pease have volunteered to run the, "new and improved cleaning contest". We will need other volunteers for that. Also, volunteers are needed for registration and door monitoring. Who will help? Any Board Members?
If you would like to be on the, "Volunteer List", please email me at [email protected] and let me know.
I'll keep you posted on any new developments on this thread.

Charlie,
I'll let you know here. I'll gladly help with member registration, as I'm the membership coordinator. If you need/want my help, I'm offering.

Two more things for your consideration...........
The cut off date for the discounted hotel rate ends Monday, June 20th. The hotel will not honor a reduced rate after that date.
Also, for those opting to register at the convention, YOU WILL NOT be entitled to four, (4), free raffle tickets. This was a Board decision to motivate members to register before the convention starts. This helps the planning committee with menu planning with the hotel and for those hosting meals, ie: Tania and Duane. Not only does it help them, it helps for the banquet planning and how many will be having the included free breakfast.[this post was last edited: 5/14/2013-16:02]

Update
We now have roughly 45 members/guests attending. This is a good thing!
Reminder: The special hotel rate ends on Monday. Better book this weekend if you have any thoughts of attending.
Also, if you plan to register or join and register, at the door, would you please let me know? It helps if we have real numbers so everyone can have a meal! If you register at the door with no advance notice, we will do our best but make no guarantees.
As the numbers continue to increase, we will keep you posted here.

Yes Fred and I will be there, it will be great to see everyone and meet some people who we haven't met as well.
Greg, Joe K and I are going,
WE are ALL rooming together. There might be a murder in the hotel!!! WE're renting a vehicle. A few of us will be able to travel to Tania's, Duane's, and other stops along the way. John Lucia, Billy Lipman, fasten your seatbelts. I'll gladly drive, but someone else will navigate. I'll bring the Tom Tom too. Are we all getting excited?
I'm even working on getting my 'book' together. A lot of members bring a scrapbook, photo album, etc with their collections in them to share with the gang. So pack a new toothbrush in your 'carry on bag' and let's go!

Hi all,
I am very excited, this is my first one! I got my room, and am ready to go!
Can't wait to try out a few vacs, if possible. Hoover Junior upright, GE upright, and a Compact, never used any of these.
But, looking forward to meeting everyone! I like to party, as my Alias is Chandler. Remember Anastacia Beaverhousen on Will and Grace? Yep, I have an alias too!
John from GB
PA I do have a room to myaelf if things get overcrowded, I could maybe take a roomate
