Sounds interesting. would that be a weekend long thing?

[MS03 2500]

I think so, maybe longer if everyone wants. Just wanting to get a idea and feel of the group.

We talked about this for 2008 in Missouri but time slipped out of our hands with the nationals in the way, high gas prices and other gtgs.

For 2009 in Michigan,not a bad idea and plenty time to discuss.   To let people know that a regional gtg is in the making,maybe i should make some banners with "region 3 regional gtg coming soon" or something.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I'll have to see how the finances are going after retirement in Jan to say for sure if we could make it.

[boilers94]

Sounds interesting and should be a good idea.  My ability to attend will all depend on when it is scheduled and what my schedule looks like at that point in time.

I've been needing to get up to MI for a GTG, I need to get to TX for one too.

[MoAv]

I think it's a great idea!  And with the planning starting now, I might even be able to schedule this early!!!  Whoo Hooo!!!

[MS03 2500]

Glad there is some interest, I thought if we start now and try to miss the by Nationals GTG by a couple of months people will have time to restock the bank acount.
