AOTH XII May 1st Registration Deadline

[roadtripse]

Well, most of us have had an early spring. I know that many of you have already had your boats in the water several times to take advantage of the early warm temperatures and to blow the winter cob webs away.

The Awakening of the Horses is the first big rally of the year for small performance boats and believe it or not, it’s only six weeks away. For those of you who are working on your skunkwerks projects or for those who need to locate where they left their boats last fall, time to step it up and get ready!

The Midwest Donzi club asks that everyone register their parties by May 1st. Early registration eliminates the lines and paperwork that we all used to deal with on arrival. This process also keeps entry fees low at $75 per person, because we have less waste with too many t-shirts ordered and the like, with an accurate total people count. In addition, it gives the resort a chance to order food and staff properly for our numbers, helping them provide for a first class experience for all of us in attendance. Any registrations received after May 1st will be $125 per head. As you register, please remember to sign the liability release and provide a copy of your boat insurance policy in the envelope.

Also, please plan on bringing an item to donate to the auction on Saturday night. The auction proceeds provide seed money for the event next year and help the club break even. In an effort to keep things clipping along Saturday night, The DMRS will be organizing a silent auction for many of the items this year and Tom aka Fishinsucks will be the auctioneer for the larger items. Please plan to bring your item down to the Yacht Club on Thursday night. And thanks again for donating and buying stuff to support the rally!

Finally, get your room booked! When I talked to the resort a few weeks ago, they were starting to fill up. When making your reservations, also request a slip, as they can get it all done in one phone call.

Get ready for a good time and we’ll see you all there!

Awesome Phil. If you need to, some of those projects can be completed in the parking lot. Just expect lots of supervision. I get it all of the time. See you and Lady L soon..

[DonziGirl]

I think everything but pulling an engine has been done in the parking lot. You might get your projects done in record time with all that "supervision"

[roadtripse]

Two weeks to the registration deadline. Get them in and we will see you all shortly!

Do you have a tenative boat count? I'll be peeking through the marina cam.

[roadtripse]

Showing 35-40 boats, maybe a couple of more with the tenatives. The lake is looking awesome right now, too. C'mon up, plenty of seats for fly-ins. You do it once and you will be back. We have a ball.

[roadtripse]

I've talked, PM-ed, texted, emailed, Facebook messaged, and whatever else with a bunch of you the past few days and yes, the proverbial check is "in the mail" for a bunch of you. For those of you still fence sitting, don't miss out on an awesome time, just do it!

Hmmmmmmmmm

Hmmmmmmmmm

Hey Mike, how about you turn over a certain x-18 and a registration over to me in the next day or two, and we call it good? Hand delivery always trumps the mail man!

Do you have a tenative boat count? I'll be peeking through the marina cam.

You need to peeking thru the windshield of the 18.... we could use another Hawk Brother on the Lake... and I could be a co-driver too!!!

[Last Real Texan]

Yes I will be there ....
Solo act again at this point, however I will have a pair of shoes this time, they are already in the boat! I'm coming in late Thursday night. I'm flying back from Vegas to Atlanta on Thursday in the afternoon and then rolling north about 7
See you there!!!
