 A general posting to the List about COWvab's Late Winter Gathering:
( sorry for the WOB for those of you on both lists)

Folks:
Well, just about a year ago I was compiling a list of van people from the
Vanagon.Com and Westfalia.Org lists for a possible group here in Central
Ohio. A late winter Gathering and subsequent campouts have solidified us
into a smallish group of happy campers and given us a name we can live with.

We now have 34 listees and have averaged six to eight vans on our campouts.
Last years' initial Gathering on March 10 brought out 13 of you for a drive
in, park, and share event.

It's time for planning this year's Gathering and your input is needed to
make it happen.  Please reply with your choices of...

PLACE:
Central Columbus is best ( Goodale Park again?...as good as I can come up
with)
German Village?
Others?

DATES:
March 2
(I have a March 9 conflict)
March 16
or
March 23

WHAT/TIMES:
At Noon to 2pm...  a Park and Show...Several members already have parts and
info to swap around. Some of you may know of/need/have various parts or info
that others can share. While I am not inclined to make this a junk meet,
this activity does help us in maintaining our aging vehicles.

At around 2pm, I propose we continue with a "drive somewhere for late lunch
parade" and a break up around NLT 4pm.


Please reply mail to this message with your best guess as to your likely
attendance and choices to the above dates and place.

I, personally, am looking forward to seeing you all and celebrating another
end of hibernation. Pass this info to others who may have an interest.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
