Got the Contributing Memberships stuff finally worked out and made up a thread as a sort of "How-To" to help people figure out how to participate. So if you need help figuring it out, here's the thread you need to take a look at -> http://www.corvetteflorida.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3581 Thank you, everyone! Rich Z.

Hard to tell, but it looked like about half a dozen said they were interested in the museum trip. With our club, we put out an email to 95% of the members (5% aren't on the web) and we just meet up at a certain area and count heads, so it could be anywhere from 6 to 25. :shrug01:

Thanks, Carey, for the head-count.....CREWZIN said:

This project is sorta 'my-baby' (though I've had LOTSA help! ), and the Museum requested a 'general-idea' of how-many might show-up with our group, to ensure we reach the needed 10 people for a group-discount, which it seems we will EASILY exceed:
I sent an E-mail to the Museum on Sunday, which was returned, saying "un-deliverable" (? ), so I tried again on Monday, with the same results.....
:thinkin:
I called the Museum after-hours Monday evening, and left a message (the man leaves his-OWN out-going message! ), saying we'd be bringing "between 10 and 30 people, maybe-more" , relayed word that I had experienced problems contacting the Museum by E-mail, and left him my home-phone number, if he had further questions:
I've not heard-back from the Museum, so I 'assume' we are good-to-go on Sunday!.
I've been trying to keep-tabs on the weather all-day, and this is the latest from ACCU-GUESS Weather :CREWZIN said:

I know that the gang from Orlando is going, rain-or-shine, and some will be bringing their daily-drivers:
I'm taking my '82 either-way, and welcome anybody who chooses to come, with-or-without your Corvette!
Yeah, we're already in the neighborhood. Never heard of rain melting a vette, so we'll be there.
We actually drove past the exit heading south today and I scoped out the rest stop. It actually looks more like a truck weigh in station to me, rather than a bonafide rest area, so bear that in mind when you see it. It's only a mile or two south of the exit, and there are no others even close, so you really can't miss it.
We had a little mishap on the way down, though. The danged "r in Co_vetteFlorida.com" blew off or my windshield!
Connie says that I just drove too fast and the air friction did it....... :lmao: I wasn't going THAT fast when I passed those trucks..... 
We're just southwest of Orlando right now and will be kicking around in Sanford and Mt. Dora on Saturday. Hopefully the rain won't be too bothersome to deal with...

Well Rich, just tell everyone that this windshield sign is your "Ebonics" version! :rofl1: :rofl1: :rofl1:
Actually, I was hoping to sneak my way in on this event, but can't make it. I am flying down to Ft. Myers in the morning for a couple days and I have things I have to take care of that would prevent me from making the event! I hope everyone has a great time!

..... how-'bout we ALL agree to get as-many pictures as we can during our trip and visit (pictures of the caravan, and from the parking-lot at the Museum, if weather-permits ), and post them here, for Forum-members who can't make this trip to view and enjoy?
:thumbsup:
That's what I'm thinking, too..... Large Father has an older Navy fighter, perched on a pedestal, next-to his parking-lot:SteveK said:
maybe we could arrange the cars in-front of the fighter, and get a picture of that, and/or take various pictures of the cars assembled in the parking-lot, depending-upon the weather.....
:shrug01:
RichZ, thanks for the notice that the 'rest-stop' is more-like a truck weigh-station..... we'll STILL try-to pull-in there, and assemble for the last few miles, if everybody is agreeable to that idea.
