Make sure to check out our ongoing thread for updates about the Regional Convention being held in Orlando on April 25. The convention will be at the spectacular Gaylord Palms hotel and we've gotten a group rate of just $99/night on guest rooms. Updated information will be posted Monday on how to make your reservations.
RG, Convention Chair
The comfortable group room rate of only $99 plus Uncle Charlie's slice will hold for both nights.
Yes, I know it'll be another night to put on the credit card, but I think you'll be darn happy you did it, in fact I know you will. I have foresight on loan from Gaw-ud!
And....as some wag once put it, "what the heck, stay over another night, you might as well be hung for a cow as a calf".
Coming up on this thread in the next couple days.....posting the convention Agenda (Sunday), then a map of the hotel, driving instructions are on also on tap, plus the Last Chance Clue for identifying the Prize we have for a lucky room registrant. No one has come close yet from the 5 clues posted.
On Wednesday, Jim Rob will handle the blind drawing for our Grand Prize which will be, again, awarded to a lucky room registrant.
Get your registration in NOW so that you're eligble for our drawings!

Since we are on a new page on this thread, I’ll post the five clues together for those thinking about making a guess as to what they think the Convention prize might be!
Convention Prize Clues:
1. Whomever wins the prize, they will love it.
2. It is about the size of a bread box.
3. It is something Obama would hate!
4. Of animal, vegetable and mineral, the prize is animal....and is covered with spots.
5. You’ll wake up on the Right side every morning with your morning joe.
Now what could that Convention Prize be??
I hope they take time and check the place out. I've spent some time there and it a fun place.
Kosher bread?
Oops! Kosher raisan bread.
Well, now.....that's a terrific guess! I re-read the clues in #203, and danged if "kosher raisin bread" didn't fit in real purty. I'm still ROFLMAO!
Unfortunately, you don't win the brass ring, but if there's a booby prize, you're gonna be the winner!
Keep guessing....final clue coming up in a couple of days!
