Who:
We now number eighteen.
I am encouraged by the your responses. It is my goal to have as many of you
as possible to attend the first meeting so that we can determine the group's
REAL first get together in camping mode. If you would like to bring a
written biography and/or history of your VW van(s) to place on your
windshield as an icebreaker that might help (?). Any body have any
experience at this sort of thing? I don't.

WHERE:
I am proposing that we meet around noon in German Village (just South of
downtown Columbus ... directions to follow). The area is full of good art,
architecture, bars, restaurants, breweries, bookstores, shops, and most
within walking distance of almost anywhere we finally choose. This is also a
dog friendly area...but that is your call (bring curb bags and leashes if
you bring your dog). I will make some inquiries about meeting at a school
/church/business parking lot that could accommodate all of us that attend.

WHEN:
February 17
or
March 3
or
March 10

Please submit your choice ASAP and I will make the majority's choice known
also ASAP.

WHAT:
I propose a two hour window (noon to 2pm) for general meeting, display of
vehicles, and discussion. Lunch on your own or in your VW, before, during or
after the meeting...I will, personally, probably eat afterwards as I don't
want to miss any of the whole thing. Snacks(?).

Next:
The end product of the meeting (assuming compatibility) would be an agreed
upon time and place for our INITIAL CAMPOUT.  So bring your ideas, calendars
and maps in order to plan for the best.

I hope this is agreeable to you, please respond with your input to any of
the above.

VanagonListees....sorry for the WOBW...just trying to get the word out and
of course... anybody's welcome.
