[NoVa-Corvairs] preregistration update

[rvtum at verizon.net]

Curt,

The registration deadline is in the contract and it was my fault that it wasn't given to Darrin.  Quite honestly, I would have assumed that most would have pre-registered to avoid the higher prices and would have made their hotel reservations o/a the same time.

We should probably have a meeting this week to discuss final numbers for the caterer and any other details.

I can offer my house this Tuesday or Wednesday.  

Thoughts?
