[CobraDan]

It’s time to start thinking about our 3rd annual meeting. At our first gathering in Tallahassee we had 10 Cobras and 28 people, our second gathering in McDonough jumped the totals to about 60 plus Cobras and about 100 people. Both weekends it RAINED. The Gear Heads still had a good time talking cars and Cobras, but the families get bored really quickly. I thought it would be nice if we could hold our event at one of the many theme parks in Florida making it a truly family event. Our club now stands at over 300 membership in the 8 states that we represent. Just so you will get an idea as to what I’m proposing, I contacted Cypress Gardens to get some ideas. First off we would need one million dollars of event insurance for the weekend that we pick. We also would have to commit to one banquet, which could be breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The charge would be like the senior rate of around $27.50 per adult but would get us into the park all day Saturday and Sunday. The regular admission is $34.95+ tax per adult. There is a Best Western right across the street from Cypress Gardens. I would have to talk with the motels to try and get us a deal for this event. There are still a lot of questions that I need to ask from Cypress Gardens and as soon as I hear from our membership I plan on going up to Cypress to meet with them in person. If I can’t get a commitment for our annual event I think I will still try for an event for the Florida and Georgia group, everyone will be invited. Do me a favor put in your address then Cypress Gardens 2641 S. Lake Summit Dr. Winter Haven, Fl. 33884, and tell me how far it is. I need two things right now a date and would you attend such an event Thanks in advance, Dan
