Hey, you Volks interested in getting together for a meet & greet Happy Hour?� The Vanagons usually park in the south-west corner on the grass, overflowing onto the beach.� How about 3 pm Saturday?� I'll have a rainbow beach umbrella outside my white w/ blue curtains Vanagon Tin Top, that might be a place to start.� I took the liberty of making about 30 nametags with the Vanagon.com blue logo; will bring Sharpie and roll of masking tape, write name and home town and stick onto shirt (noooooo, you don't have to.....).� 

But I figure that the usual routine is to arrive, say hi to a couple nearby Volks, then start strolling around the "midway" of the festivities.� If we have at least a designated time & place to meet, would be best chance to meet everybody, probably over 30 of us I imagine.� And the nametags are so we don't have to immediately remember all 30 names.

I know some people are arriving Thursday, some Friday, some Saturday (like me); anyway that's why I chose Saturday at 3 pm.
