I just reserved our room. Pat & I will be attending.

When I called he had no idea what I was talking about. He TRIED to find it under Michigan SSR Club even though I TOLD him that they were being held under Debbie Cook. Finally he said, "Oh here they are under Debbie Cook."

Anyone else attending?

Charlie I received your e-mail also. Yes, rooms are held under "Debbie Cook" as stated below. The hotel would not allow me to put it under 'SSR Club"

Even though I had asked! I made the reservations around 12:00 noon today. They may need a little more time updating the records.

Gald to see you and Pat will be attending

Still waiting to hear from others.

Charlie® · 09-22-2006, 05:52 AM

Glad to see that Marv & Judy and Carl & Judy are joining in. It would really be nice to see some more faces. Deb works REALLY hard getting these things set up & it is a shame if only a few of us enjoy them.

The colors should be nearing peek by then. We've got a bit of a start here in SE Michigan already.

Charlie® I appreciate your enthusiasm

However I have heard back from 4 MI members that are not able to attend this trip.

The couple from Bay City (Carl & Judy) will be joining us for both days but will not be staying at the hotel with us.

Steve and I are looking very forward to this trip......so even if we have (4) SSR's we are going to make the best of it

REBEL · 09-25-2006, 03:14 PM

Charlie® it’s not that we don't have an interest to be involved, it’s just I'm tied down at work. I have missed other events that I had rooms paid for but can not get away. I do appreciate Debbie setting these runs up and want to meet you new people ... Lord knows I need some R & R. So have fun with the lucky ones that can get there.

I don't think Charlie® meant that you didn't have an interest. I and we all know you would be there if you could.

As soon as Steve found out you and Ray couldn't make it.........he said "Move the date back then"

This was something I thought about doing.......but e-mails have been sent and it's more work to undo it then it is to just run with it.

We are a small group and have never really had more then 6 on any runs and usually the same persons participating. I would like to see different members join in on the fun every once in a while. We have enough members on here and the SSR Club site to make a difference........only time will tell!

All are welcomed to participate. Next year I won't be participating in all of the runs as I have a summer schedule that is already filling up. I'll set them up and we will go from there.

As I have said in the past anyone is welcomed to post a gathering..... even if it's just for the day. That's what makes a group special when everyone particpates by either attending or schedueling the runs. I can't be at all of these runs either.

Charlie® · 09-27-2006, 05:17 AM

Rebel,

As HRG has said, I did NOT mean to imply that you didn't WANT to come.

I enjoyed meeting you at the picnic. Have you finished your "concept version" conversion yet? The mirror set up you had was very interesting.

Charlie®

HotRodGirl · 09-27-2006, 01:58 PM

I will be canceling the extra rooms that are on hold on Wednesday Oct 4th. So if you are planning on joining in.....Please make your reservations by then.

Right now we have 3 of the 8 rooms reserved.

HotRodGirl · 09-29-2006, 08:24 AM

Received a PM from Wingrider.......he will be joining us for S
