Laura Crook informed me that RSVP
for that best of all gatherings – The Shady Bend, Rotary Round Up - are down
50% from this time last year.
It just occurred to me that
perhaps some of you may have not realized - the rotary round up has been moved
up a week from its normal last weekend in October - in hopes of finding better
weather. So that means the round up is 17,18,19 October or the next
weekend after the one coming up! So if you thought you had plenty of
time – you don’t! Get that email to Laura ASAP!

Details and your personal
invitation await you at :

She is placing the food order NLT
this coming Friday!!!! That’s like 3 days from now!
So half of you are either going to
have to bring your own food, travel into Bell, Fl to eat (not bad food for a
small place – but, a long, long walk) , beg from those who did RSVP or better
plan on getting skinny.
Richard Shone is going to provide
an update on his aluminum, one-rotor engine – always interesting to see what
challenges Richard has faced and overcome. Carlos Gonzalez
is going to do an engine tear down and Laura would like a couple more speakers
if possible.
Naturally, you can hound Tracy with questions
about the newer EC3 and its EM3 as well as everything you wanted to know about
“Auto tune” or simply rotaries in general. We can all razz Tracy for not having the
3 rotor RV-8 ready to fly – YET! I keep telling him, if he would
stop vacationing in the mountains of Colorado and stay home to work on it, he
would be finished. But, will Laura listen – nope!
But, the biggest priority is to get your name into
tonight or tomorrow to Laura if you are going to attend (and want to
eat). Let’s help the lady out folks.
Hope to see many of you
there.
