OK boys& girls, here's your official invitation to our
rotary/alternative engine seminar here at Slobovia Outernational (2nd
hosting of the Millennium and the first this decade :-) ).
I'll be working up a cheat sheet with driving directions for those who
haven't visited in the past. For flying info, just plug 'MS71' into
Airnav's airport search function. You can also find us using Google Maps.
For those who don't know, we live just north of Jackson MS on highway 49
N at an airport community known as Slobovia Outernational Airport.
Slobovia is a private ('restricted' on the Memphis sectional) airport,
so typical 'land at your own risk' cautions apply. Most of our bedrooms
in the house are already spoken for by 'early adopters', but we have
lots of floor space in the den and hangar with air beds& air mattresses
(bring a bedroll& towel/wash cloth, if you can). You're welcome to
tent-camp or park your (earth-bound) RV in the yard, or if you prefer,
there's a private campground with hookups about 2 miles away. Hotels are
about 20 minutes away in Madison, Ridgeland, and Jackson. Feel free to
call (1:00PM-9:00 PM if calling on a weekday) or email for more info on
hotels, etc.
If you're willing to do a presentation, *please* give me a call or drop
me a line. We all love to get together for fun/fellowship, but we also
want to soak up as much new info as possible when we get together. I'll
have a sound system, computer, video projector and overhead projector
available for presentations.
Tentative schedule is arrivals any time on Friday Sept. 28 (Thursday's
fine if weather dictates) with supper at a local restaurant,
presentations/discussions/plane rides on Saturday with meals here at the
airport, and supper Saturday night an another local restaurant. Sunday
we'll keep open for discussions, rides, etc, and departures, for those
who must go home (or want to party elsewhere).
After getting your collective 'ok' to open it up for all alternative
engines, I spoke with Patrick Panzera from Contact Magazine about
promoting it,& he thought we might get up to 200 people if he promoted
it as such in the mag. Since it's just my wife& I managing the
logistics, that would be more than we could handle. So, I'm sending the
1st invitation to the rotary list. If there's still some capacity left
after your RSVP's, I'll let Patrick promote it through his magazine with
an open invitation to all alternative engine groups.
Looking forward to seeing y'all in September,
Charlie& Tupper
