| I started to put the word out for those who want to caravan from my region. I'm hoping there are several from the board that will attend. It would be great to meet everyone face to face. | |

Jack, I got a couple of calls after my announcement came out in the Jan/Feb Riview. I have had a few people contact me about joining up with us along the way. | |

Yes Eric, you have to be a member of the ROA to participate, but anyone can go and enjoy the show. Yours would be a good addition for the modified class. Membership and Meet info is on the website listed above. There is a Regional Coordinator in Indianapolis for the ROA that is from Galena and he says he is going, he hasn’t gotten back to me about joining up but I’m sure we will get together somewhere in that area. Jack is from Oklahoma City and will be coming from the opposite direction but if you are interested and want to join our group from the east let me know and we’ll make the arrangements. | |

| Too bad it's so far away. I'm heading out to Ohio in early July, but that's as far as I'd want to drive. Hopefully there'll be something closer to the East Coast next year... | |

The ROA meets rotate East, Mid-West, then West, the next meet in the East will be 2010. It could be anywhere up and down the East Coast? | |

| I registered for the ROA a couple days ago. Plan on being at the meet in Galena this spring...jimmyriv I'll bring my clubs. Is anyone going down for a partial week. I'd like to participate in the cruise and car show but don't really want to go up a couple days before...got to work to support the Riv. If nobody is, I'd still like to meet up with everybody (I assume you will eat breakfast) before you roll out of Indy. | |

| I'd love to go, wouldn't be too far of a drive. But these meets that start early in the week, during my busy spring season are not an option for me at all. Plus I'm saving for the BPG nats in August in Columbus OH, haven't attended since 04. Have fun in Galena everyone... | |

Glad to have another Forum Member join the ROA! Our starting point for Monday the 23rd will be Scottsburg, IN, we will probably get something there before we start for the day. I try to plan my stops so we don't end up starting out in morning traffic in a bigger city. I'm not real sure of the time as yet but we will be meeting up with others in Indy. sometime between 9 and 10AM, I can let you know when and where that will be when plans are more finalized. | |

I thought the end of June was summer not spring? Sorry, let me elaborate. I define "spring" as a period of about 4 months at work, loosely March thru June/July when we conduct a very large majority of our annual sales activity. During that time period, there's no such thing as a vacation. Been that way for 18+ years for me. Excellent place to work, otherwise. | |

Eric, As of now, Michael the ROA Regional Coordinator for the Indy area, is planning on having breakfast on Monday morning before those of us coming in from the south meet up with him. What we have planned so far is meeting somewhere on the west side near I-74 and heading out from there around 10AM. Let me know if you want to get together with them for breakfast and I'll get you the info as soon as I know it for sure. | |

| That would work out great for me. I'm on the West side and 74 is within 15min. Meet you guys there and head out with you but at some point, I'll break off and head home. I plan on going to the ROA later in the week. | |

| Sheesh, why didn't they just put it in Wisconsin? No way in hell I could drive that far. I think it'd be neat to go to but the farthest I'd go would be Indianapolis or in the other direction Nashville. What all even happens there anyways? | |

| It has been in Wisconsin, 2001, and in Nashville I think, but that was before I started going. Usually have outings that the entire family can enjoy, sometimes presentations from one vender or another, and then a meeting of the Riviera Owners Association, and then a peer judged Riviera Show and an awards banquet. Been a good time whenever I have been | |

| That sounds great.. can't wait to meet fellow Riv owners. Picking up the car tomorrow, dyno Thursday, and going in for body repair Monday of next week. I am postponing the complete repaint until after the meet. Completion of full paint will cut it too close (three weeks) and I don't want to miss out! | |
