As you all know; they are our hosts for the upcoming 2018 Invasion.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>While we were there – we scoped out their choices for the Invasion site, the host hotel, and the facility where we will be having our Saturday night dinner. As expected, they did a marvelous job picking out these sites as they are experienced Invasion attendees and know exactly what works best to host an Invasion. The Invasion site is right next to a lake and should provide us plenty of shade during the day. The hotel is brand new and we will have the rear parking lot covered in type 3’s to hang around with at night, and the dinner site will be the perfect place to have a nice air conditioned dinner at the end of Saturday as well. They are working on a neat group activity for us to do on Friday should you so choose to participate, but I won’t spoil their announcement. Here’s hoping it comes through for them!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We also stopped in at Dennis’s school to meet him and “Clementine”, but evidently he must have been skipping school that day. Don’t worry Dennis, we won’t tell on ya.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>When we returned home, I clicked on the link provided on Johns 2018 Invasion website ( <a href="http://www.carartbyjohn.com/2018Invasion/">http://www.carartbyjohn.com/2018Invasion/</a> ) to make reservations at the Hampton Inn and it was as easy as could be. Nice job!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This is setup to be another great Invasion, so don’t forget to make your plans and make your reservations – only 9 months away!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dave Pallo<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>’72 Square ~ Elwood<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Fairport, New York<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
