I sure wish you guys were coming through Memphis this year. I attended the car show you held at the Apple Bees in Mid-Town last year. Your club is a great group of folks!!

Hey Thanks !! Memphis was a blast. We'll probably do that car show again next year. Planning the Tour For A Cure and our signarure event Corvettes Against Breast Cancer (at the Atlanta Motor Speedway), AND planning another show in Memphis would be a tall order for us this year. We've got a lot going on.

We really enjoy putting on these kinds of events. We hope you can check us out / participate somewhere along the way

Default Registration?

I didn't find a link on the website to register...

Also, looking to reserve a hotel room close to the start in Atlanta. Where in Atlanta does the event start?

Hey John,
Our registration site will be up shortly (www.csaforum.org ). In the meantime send us an email to the following address

TourForACure@bellsouth.net

Please include the following info in your mail:

Name:
Mailing Address:
Email Address:
Phone #:
Corvette Year / Color:
Passenger: Yes / No
T-Shirt Size (for you and your passenger):

Right now, we have the event starting from the parking deck of the GA State Capital Building in downtown Atlanta. If that becomes logistically impossible, we may move the kick off to one of the parking lots at Turner Field (just down the road).

I'm going to be scheduling a conference call for all participants soon. Look for more info shortly.

This thing is gonna be a blast

Marvin

AWESOME !!! I hope you can figure out how you can make it. We have rooms booked at the Baymont (check in Friday, 5/23/08, check out Saturday, 5/24/08). Look for us there or at the Museum on Saturday. We plan on leaving from the front of the Museum at 1:00pm on Saturday 5/24.

Hey Tim,
Right now, looks like we may be just rolling through Nashville. A few people in the group from Atlanta have not had the chance to take a factory tour yet. Leaving Atlanta at 7'ish Friday morning (with no stops) will get us in Bowling Green in time for the last factory tour before the weekend. If things change, I'll let you know right away.

That must be the Baymont in Bowling Green? Since you have made reservations are we on our own to do so or have you blocked rooms there?

Great question...we've blocked a number of rooms at the Baymont in BG. We are still working with the hotel on the contract details. When all is said and done, each of the participants will call the hotel and sign up for one of the rooms in our block. I'm working on a communication to you and the other participants now.

Great question, keep 'em coming

What time will you be in Cleveland? my wife and I live 5 mi. east right off I-90. I'm sure we can hook up or spring for lunch for some of the group at our home in Bratenahl. What a wonderful cause.

OOps! Looks like you're staying in Canton and running up to visit the R&R HOF. In that case you won't be coming by us. Too bad you can't change that route and then shoot out 90East.

Don't count us out yet...we haven't finalized the RRHOF visit yet. In fact we were discussing at our planning meeting last week about skipping the RRHOF. I think it would be awesome to stop by to visit you and the wife.

shoot me an email so we can discuss...mhfontaine@aol.com

This is very important to my wife and me. We hope to join you in the Canton to Hershey loop. Hope it fits into our calendar of events/chemo treatments.

PaBlue...that would be great. I hope you are able to make the trip with us. I'll keep you in mind as we firm up the details for the remainder of the trip.

You and the wife hang in there !!!

Please don't skip the RRHOF. This was one of the highlights of the trip for us.
