<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Well this time
next Friday, many of us, (ourselves included as Kathy got the green light
Thursday to go), will be tucked in at the Red Roof Inn awaiting the "Big Day" at
Clark's on Saturday. If you're one of those who haven't made up
your minds as to whether or not you're staying over the night before the
Clark's Show, it's not too late to call the Red Roof Inn in So. Deerfield at
(413) 665-7161 mentioning code B289COVAIR to get the Club's special room
rate. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Many of you
have called or e-mailed about caravanning up to So. Deerfield next Friday so a
plan is in place. Some of you have decided to leave from Steve &
Gerri-lyn's in Rehoboth, MA on Friday. You can start gathering there at
10:00 AM and that group will be departing The Boyden's at 10:30 to meet up
with another group caravanning to So. Deerfield who will be gathering at the
Charlton rest area / travel center on the west bound side of the MA
Turnpike. It's the big rest area approximately 10+ miles or so west
of Exit 10 in Auburn. We'll gather there around 11:30 leaving for So.
Deerfield by noon.</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial><SPAN

are planning on coming up I-495 to the MA Pike heading to Charlton are welcome
to stop by my house and join us for the ride to Charlton. We're

approximately an hours drive to <st1:place
w:st="on">Deerfield</st1:place>. We should have a pretty large
group but it should be easy enough to stay together going the MA Pike to Exit
4, which is I-91, through the tolls then heading North on I-91
to our exit in So. Deerfield. You'll see the billboard on I-91
advertising the Yankee Candle Factory. Our lodging is right near the
Yankee Candle Factory on Routes 5/10 north. I called Jen at
the Red Roof on Thursday AM and she said check-in is any time after 1
PM. She did say s<FONT face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">he wasn't
sure about an outside faucet to wet wash cars as they have an underground
sprinkler system in place but she will check and if there is one she'll ask that
be made available to all the Corvair owners. </SPAN></FONT> As
of Thursday AM, 46 rooms are booked so I'd guess that by the end of
this week we'll have over 50 rooms booked. There'll be a mini-Corvair Show
right there at the hotel. This looks like it's going to be a very well
attended show and is shaping up to be our biggest and best yet.
We're planning on 80 Corvairs and hoping to draw that elusive 100th
Corvair to our show on the 16th. </SPAN></FONT><FONT
face=Arial><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I realize many of you who plan to
attend will be working on Friday and won't join us until later in the
evening. Have a safe trip and we'll see you at the Red Roof later on
Friday night. For those of you who will be coming up early on the day of
the show, please try to be there as <STRONG>early</STRONG> as
possible. The show officially starts at 9:00 but many of us will be
there around 7:00 to get a lot of set-up work completed. We would
appreciate any and all help you can provide throughout the day to make this a
well run event. I don't want it to sound like it's all work and no
play. Take time to go on Cal's tours of the facility; very
interesting. Above all else, <U>have fun</U> and enjoy yourselves at
this wonderful All-Corvair show. <STRONG><EM> Ray
