Update from the lead planner, Tonya......

Based on the response, it appears there is some excitement about this event!

I understand there were some questions regarding if members from Austin, Dallas and other cobra clubs can join. I believe this question has already been answered through previous posts; nonetheless, I'm reconfirming the answer is....absolutely! Though the past Fall Gatherings have been in the Houston area and mainly attended by Houston Cobra Club members, this year we are taking this gathering way outside the Houston area for other surrounding clubs to enjoy.

Here are some updates thus far:
Rooms booked: 30 (as of 7/23, 9:48pm)
Rooms available: 5
Planning Team Volunteers:
Restaurant Planner: Janice Thigpen, Tonya
Driving Route Planner: Kelly Mullins
Tailgating Planners: Rick Hallett, Jim Driesch, Ian Powell
Gentlemen, since your postings were filled with such passion for consuming, I'm volunteering you to plan the tailgating event. I'm confident you will be able to handle this task with enthusiasm and deliver on the club members expectations.
Communication Planner (posting to other sites / forums): Dennis Mosely
Theme Planner: Sharon Driesch, Tonya
Theme Night 10/16
Yes, we are having a theme night and it is completely optional if you want to dress in WWII (1940's) period clothing (i.e. military uniforms, fashion of the time, etc.) however, it is not required. Since the Hangar Hotel's design is based on the WWII South Pacific time period, we are planning on having some fun with this. Use your imagination and step back in time for an evening of Heroes, Romance and to celebrate America's Greatest Generation.
Catered Dinner 10/16
I will be meeting with management 7/31 to discuss the menu and conference room size.
Additional Hotels
I will check with another Hotel in the area to see if I can block off some rooms.
If you have any suggestions, questions, and/or comments, please feel free to give me a call at 713-855-9023 or send me an e-mail tvonbs@yahoo. com. I will send another update towards the end of the weekend or early part of next week. Until then, stay safe and "drive 'em like you stole 'em"!
