[NoVa-Corvairs] Vair Fair Update

[Howard Ghee]

All,
   
  Sorry I too could not make it.
   
  As a matter of fact, I do have some donation parts.  One of my friends gave me some car care tools belonging to his father (timing light, dwell meter, etc.).  I am keeping a few of these goodies for myself, but I don't need two timing lights and so on.  Can donations be previously-owned?  I also have two shock absorbers that I had purchased to go on my car, but of course we all know what became of the Blue Car.  I can look through the Corvair box further--if I can get out to the balcony, I have nesting doves in one of my terra cota pots.
   
  Also, back to the list of items for hospitality room and so forth.  I have an extra bulletin board (roughly 2' X 3') and can lend some serving bowls if we still need them.  I can probably donate some napkins, paper towels, and so on.

  All: Today's 3pm meeting has been cancelled. Only AJ & Curtis were available, and I hated to see Curtis drive 3 hours round trip just to look at the plaques. I will mail Curtis an example tomorrow. I did call Curtis and we talked about various parts of the show in which I will expand upon below:

1. Curtis & Al created the rally route this past Tuesday. They will run it again this coming Tuesday for fine tuning. Al will not be available at the show; however, Curtis has very graciously agreed to be the Rallymaster.

2. Ron: Curtis confirmed that we rented the end room of the banquet room all day on Saturday for the tech sessions. Can we also rent the room for a few hours Friday evening to run the Valve Cover Races? It may be cheaper than renting a canopy. Please call the hotel to check availability and price. It may be cheaper than renting the canopy.

3. Everyone: Has anyone taken on the responsibility of canvassing local businesses for give-aways for the raffle? I will check with my local Pep Boys, NAPA, Advance, etc. Take a copy of the flyers with you and ask if we can post them in their windows (or bulletin boards).

4. Everyone: Please also look through your current parts stashes and general car care supplies to see if you have anything you can donate to the raffle. I won a few brand new things at past Corvair Shows that I'm willing to re-raffle (small floor jack, battery powered grease gun, etc.)

5. Greg & Bryan: I will go over to Bryan's about two weeks before the Vair Fair to create the plaque templates on his laptop, so the only thing I will have to do at the show is insert the winner's name and photo of their car, print it, then assemble it into the frame. Curtis mentioned that we would need approximately 30 frames. I will purchase a few extra just to be on the safe side. I will be taking digital photos of everyone's cars on Friday when they arrive at the hotel. 

Thanks a million! Greg
