[DeTomaso] POCA Fun Rally Update (forward)

[jtaphorn at kingwoodcable.com]

Regarding the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass suggested by Julian, a shuttle runs every half hour between that hotel an our host hotel as they both reside on the same reservation.

Also, as Steve suggested, the Radisson may also be a good alternative offering a $66 room rate.

We have no allegience to the Courtyard, other than their proximity and flexibility to match the Host hotel's rate.

I appreciate the alternative suggestions for the later registrants.  

This Fun Rally has the makings for the best attendance in over six years.  More friends and comraderie is a wonderful formula for a grand time.  For those who have yet to see the itinerary for the Event, it ought to be distributed soon.  I am confident you will like what you see.  The Arizona Chapter is pulling all the stops to make it a memorable event.  Arizona members are participating in force.  In view of this, there will be Panteras present that many have not seen previously.  Also, several owners are bring cars from the east; yours truly included.

This year, Wednesday's check in for the event and the hospitality area will kick off in the patio and pool area.  The open bar will be poolside.  We're shaking things up a bit. Pretty cool, eh!

See you in only a couple of weeks.  Bring your suits and sunscreen.
