2023 National Roll call?

[Russ Blair]

Hello everyone, the 2023 national show committee is attempting to get a 10 room block discount for a hotel for our upcoming National in Knoxville. I was just wondering if we will be able to fill all 10 rooms? Reason I ask is we have a hotel offering to let us use their breakfast area to host our annual meeting and dinner if we fill all 10 rooms. Right now we have 3 hotel offers ranging from $89 night up to $115 night. The $115 night hotel is the one allowing use of their breakfast area for free if all 10 rooms are filled, if we don’t fill all 10 rooms we can still use breakfast area for small fee. So if you think you might attend and would want to stay with all of us in one hotel please let us know asap. I would like to set something up soon so we can promote it.

Count me in for 2 nights.   I think Becky Pelton is also interested and I passed on to her the information.  Thanks show committee!   

[Russ Blair]

I am going to slide this under this topic since it has to do with getting a Roll Call lol. Our national meet committee has decided to have our annual meeting and dinner at Shoneys in Knoxville. They offer their banquet room for free and we have them a rough count of 20-25 people possibly attending. So we would like to know how many members will be planning on attending the dinner and annual meeting on Saturday night at 7pm? I will start with My wife Nicole and I, and possibly Uncle Dave if all goes as planned.

[Mike Gilbert]

 Can't say for sure at this time, but Mary and I would attend IF we can come.

[Michael Muenks]

Michael Muenks + one (hopefully)

[Stacy Melton]

I plan to come so count me in!
