Well everyone it has been a while since we have all gotten together, but as fate would have it the regularly scheduled "Tuesday" meeting is once again not destined to occur. Between the Labor Day holiday on the 5th and many of us providing safe harbor for our family and friends from Louisiana and Mississippi the timing is just not right.

Therefore the next meeting to held will occur on Saturday, September 10th 2005. This should allow for a few days of recovery from the long Labor Day weekend as well as give those houseguests a few extra days to adjust.

Final location will be announced soon (pending details), we are working on something a little different for this meeting. This will be a late afternoon meeting and hopefully will offer some photogenic scenery for some great photo opportunities as well as a some great food for dinner.

Reminder: Two major events are just around the corner. The Quad-State BBQ to be held in Dallas on September 24th (visit the forum for details) and Sevenstock 8 is just over a month away! If you have not made plans to go to one or both of these events it is not too late.

 

Event Details

Where: Monument Inn and San Jacinto Battleground (Just 20 miles East of Downtown Houston)
Date: Saturday, September 10th 2005
Time: 3:30 PM until ??? PM
Photoshoot: 3:30 PM in front of the San Jacinto Monument
Meeting/Dinner: 5:15 PM at the Monument Inn.

- We would like to get the whole group together for a big photoshoot down at the battleground. With various options of the bay bridge in the distance or the majestic San Jacinto monument in the background this is sure to be a great way to the end summer and welcome in the cooler fall weather… yeah, ok so it will still be in the 90s for 2 more months who am I kidding?!

- After the photo session we will all head over to the Monument Inn for dinner. Dinner runs anywhere from 6 bucks for light fare (sandwich/chicken basket/etc) to around $20 for an all-u-can eat seafood extravaganza!

- Please note: The Monument Inn can get VERY busy, however they are pleased to have us out and are looking forward to having us. I am asking for serious RSVP's only from those who are coming. Our reservation is for 5:30 PM so please be on-time.

- After dinner we will have a chance for some waterside photos and hood popping in the parking lot. No "official" plans are made for after dinner, however I am open to suggestions.

- If you need assistance with directions getting to either of the locations please let me know when you RSVP.

Thanks,
Keith

I suggest we also get a donation drive going for the meet for the Hurricane victims, in the same fashion as our thanksgiving and christmas ones.

We should have a good idea by then what the red cross needs the most, past the usual money, diapers, food, clothing etc...

Any other ideas are welcome, but I think being in Houston, we need to step up.

Keith, thoughts?

 

I agree I mean that could have been us.

 

Since my dad likes sea food, looks like I might be able to make it, so put me down for 2 or maybe 3 if Maura can make it.

 

where do you guys have the meets here in houston???

 

A majority of the meetings have been held at Freebirds and Barry's pizza. We go to Barry's when it is a little cooler, because they have a nice patio area. We also have had meetings at the go kart track and the lazer tag facility.

 

Scott, I heard you got hired. You start on the 19th don't you?

 

Good news travels fast, yes I start the 19th. I was going to call you, but every time I thought of calling, I was away from the computer, which is where I have your number.

Are you going to the meeting this weekend?

 

I really wan to meet with some rotor head so can someone PM me the location plz

 

Here we go again!!! I would have made it to the Tuesday meeting but I'll be up at the track Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for the CVAR event. Maybe next month!!! Man I can't win for losing, one of these months I'm going to make it to the meeting.

Meeting Reminder - PLEASE READ
-------------------------------------
I just wanted to send out a final reminder about the meeting this Saturday at 3:30 PM.

Remember it is VERY important we get an accurate number of attendees to if you are coming please let me know or else you might not have a seat!

If you have emailed me at htxrx7@houston.rr.com you have been accounted for. If you have not emailed me please do so now. Thanks.

Additionally if you are bringing a guest or a group of people please let me know how many as well.

KATRINA RELIEF EFFORTS:
-----------------------------
I have had many requests regarding Katrina relief efforts and some of you have asked if the club is going to do something to help. At this time we have contacted several different groups and the resounding response is that these groups do not need anymore collections of clothes, food or supplies.

The only thing they need at this point is money. Therefore I feel it if you are interested in doating to the relief efforts for the vicitms of Hurricane Katrina you please visit the Red Cross website at https://give.redcross.org/ and enter a cash donation there.

 

If any of you displaced Louisiana guys living in Houston want to come out for the Houston RX-club meeting tomorrow I'll spring for dinner. We are meeting on the east side of town at the San Jacinto monument.
