XLR RENDEZVOUS III Rendezvous III is taking shape. Plan to attend this great event. Those who attended last year know what a great time we had and how well we were treated by Cadillac, Martin Cadillac and the GM Assembly Plant. Rendezvous III is anticipated to a bigger and better event. Much of the Itinerary is still in the planning stages, but it will not be the same events that we did last year. There will probably be a plant tour involved, but it will be a different plant tour (perhaps after work hours when we can spend more time behind the scenes and not have to worry about regular tours following us). We plan to have more driving events, such as a Poker Run and some parking lot driving events in your XLR. We are working on other driving tour type events being available this year.
The event will start on Thursday night with a welcoming dinner and we will have events scheduled for Friday and Saturday with a departure for home on Sunday AM.
The dates of the event are June 5-7, 2008.
Due to anticipated growth of this event, we have moved to the Holiday Inn University Plaza, 1021 Wilkinson Trace, Bowling Green, KY 42103.
The hotel has offered the group rate of $95 (single/double). Rate does not include taxes. Their regular rate is $129. This is a much bigger hotel than last year and offers a restaurant and bar in the hotel. They also have a larger parking lot and greater ease of getting in and out of the parking lot.
You can make your own reservations for the event by calling the hotel direct at 270-745-0088 or calling 1-800-HOLIDAY. Our group is called Cadillac XLR Rendezvous.
If you have any questions, contact me at jamsto@hotmail.com or call me at 505-379-5629.
Hope to see you there, Jim & Jean Stokes
