DV,

I just spoke with the President of the Famous 50's Rod & Customm Club and hr offered to help with a possible alternate location.

His club hosts a four day event at the Nevele Grand Hotel resort in Ellenville, NY. The resort is huge and it is secure with a check-in gaurdpost gate at the entrance. The resort has a few hotel buildings with hundreds of rooms that start at $110.00 per night. His event is every year during Father's Day weekend - this year 6/17 to 6/20; and the usual turn out is anywhere from a few hundred to a thousand Rods & Customs, so there is pleanty of room for the Fling.

He said that if you wanted to try to do the Fling at the Nevele, he could make it happen, as far as getting a booking.

Please let me know if this is an option you would consider and I'll put you in touch with him.

Perhaps there's a possibility of holding the Fling side by side with his event; there is usually a huge turnout of people and that could be great exposure as far as raising contributions for the Jenny Fund.

I know that the Fling is a special event and am not trying to replace it, but I thought it maight be a possible option.
