of preparation in Scottsboro. We encourage you to take care of any of the
items listed below as soon as possible so that we may be better able to make
final plans.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

Hampton Inn in Scottsboro is May 24. The easiest way to make reservations is
the link on the Invasion website. Here is the link to that page: <a

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>After this date, we will have to relinquish the rooms back to the
hotel, so the ability to make reservations after this date will not be
certain. This hotel stays booked up, so act quickly. There are still cabins
available for rent at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Jackson</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">County</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Park</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>.
Information on this location is also presented on the Invasion website page.
Please note that the rates for the cabins are less than those presented on
their site. Lower winter rates apply to the Invaders. To get the lower rate,
please indicate that you are part of Volkswagen Type 3 Invasion group when
making reservations.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

gathering starts about 6 pm, but if you arrive a little earlier than this that
will be all right. Food will be provided, so do not eat an evening meal before
you come. There is no cost involved, but we need to have a fairly accurate
headcount to make sure there is enough food. This is a come- and- go event and
we will probably continue until after dark. Our address is listed below. Call
me (256-242-4239) if you need directions or your GPS leads you astray. I will
also be collecting funds for the VW Factory tour lunch on Friday. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the lunch caterer on Tuesday, June 12 with a headcount. I can add a few more after
this date, but the flexibility is limited. I will only order food for those on
the list, so communicate with me if you plan to eat lunch. I will collect most
of the lunch funds on Thursday night and the remainder before we leave on
Friday. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

factory, there is a photo on the Invasion website of the factory. We will be entering
from the rear of the building and parking in the atrium of the conference
center marked on the photo.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

If you have not previously done so, please send me an email if you plan to
