We will be attending a Savannah Sandgnats baseball game on the Saturday afternoon/evening. This would be a cookout/tailgater and then the game with special treatment for us while we're there. Then an evening on the town taking in a couple of local watering holes. Sunday morning we'll have breakfast, followed by a mid-day drive, and we would finish off sunday afternoon at Leopold's Ice Cream, complete with closing the street like we did for the Great Ice Cream Run.
HOWEVER, we have run into some snags in scheduling. We found out last week or so that the annual Phil Wicks driving school is being held at Roebling Road in Savannah for the first time on that same weekend (August 9th & 10th). There are a few people already scheduled to attend that event, and may or may not be able to come motor with us afterwards. So, we are putting it to a vote:
Would you rather our "Fun Run" of baseball and ice cream coincide with the Phil Wicks event, or push it back to the weekend after Labor Day or even October? Please vote because we need as much input as possible!!!!!!
In other news we have decided to change our location once again to the new Starbucks on Victory and Skidaway. There is ample parking, visibility, seating, and most importantly, coffee!! If we decide to leave the date for our event on the 9th & 10th of August then that will be our final planning session.
Oh and one more thing, welcome Charisse and her husband to our monthly meetings! Thanks for coming!!!!!

I make a motion to move our "Run 4 Fun" weekend event to another time slot..all in favor..saaaay....
Thanks for the warm reception. I had a great time and Christian is hoping we adopt his car into the fold. It is a British car, but not a mini. I don't hold it against him ;-).
Either weekend works for me. If I had to choose I would put it off for the next month.
I think the August dates would probably be easier for me. September is going to be insane. October would be nice too because it's cooler then, but do they still play baseball in October?
If we have it before the end of September I will only be able to attend on Sunday, even in August. Afterwards I'm more flexible.
I am going for any weekend, but agree moving it makes sense.

I agree, we should move it to a weekend when we are not competing with other events.
ACTUALLY...as per my latest contact with MGM...we need to leave the August dates in place..Club members from other areas have already placed
reservations..@ the T-Bird..and else-
where..sent email out to members 2day
..7/19..!!!
Hi everyone
I think moving the event to a later date makes sense.
HI Again
I take it back......After talking it over with my wife, we think that the fun run should be held on the original dates. There are other clubs coming to savannah for this event and some of them have alredy made plans.
You can never please everyone so we have set a date and need to stick with it....
