Glassic Model A Replica Reunion 2004

12/1/03 -- OUR SPACE IS BOOKED - I have contracted for rooms at The Hotel to be held at $59.00 per night, and have reserved the conference room. The hotel is Amerisuites Airport NE, and they are ready to take reservations. Unfortunately, to get our rate, you must contact the hotel directly at (407) 240-3939 and tell them that your group is the Glassic Model A Replica Reunion. This rate is good for one week before and one week after our May 2, 3, 4 weekend, so you can use this rate for an Orlando vacation too if you want.

If you stay seven consecutive nights, the rate is $49.00 per night, so consider making this your family vacation!

Please email me when you have reserved your room.
Name, car escription (if any), nights staying, where you are

Stay somewhere else? Fine! If you have a "frequent sleeper" plan, etc. or if you want to drive in each day from nearby. I have a list of hotels within walking distance of the AmeriSuites if you want it, although they all quite "nice", they likely will be more expensive. More interaction with other owners is likely if you stay at the AmeriSuites, but staying there is in no way required.

11/11/03 -- A proposed contract is being written by the Amerisuites in Orlando. They have already agreed to a very good rate, and we are "discussing" costs for meeting room space.

NOTE:

I, Don, will not profit from this venture -- No comp rooms were written into the "contract" with AmeriSuites.

10/2003 The rate this year at the Amerisuites is $10 higher than last year, because we are scheduled over a month earlier in the year (to make things better for our snow bird friends).

IMPORTANT: People must realize that it is absolutely optional whether they bring their replica. It will be just as much fun if your drive your boring car and bring pictures of your Collectible..

Dates Friday, March 26, Saturday March 27, and Sunday March 28, 2004

****************************************
Tentative Agenda (updated 3/25/04)

This agenda will remain "tentative" throughout. Our reunion agenda should be driven by what we WANT to do, and is subject to change by those attending to suit the group desires and priorities. Nothing is carved in stone!

Friday evening -- Cruise to a fast food outlet or local cruise-in.

******************

Saturday morning -- Tour in our cars through Orlando to an interesting location for lunch.

Saturday afternoon -- Meet with Joel - question and answer session.

Joel is the "founding father" of the Glassic and Replicars corporations and is a fountain of technical information that he is willing to share. He has an outstanding memory and is an interesting and personable gentleman.

Saturday evening -- Tour to the car show at Old Town. 3/25/04: Update: We are scheduled to arrive at Old Town as a group at 6:00pm. Space is being held for us on the brick street in block 2 (prime territory). We will be among the first to lead the parade at the end of the evening. (leave hotel about 5:15 pm)

*****************

Sunday morning -- meet in the conference area and discuss restoration matters, website, locating additional owners etc.

Sunday afternoon -- head home.

This list: 100% likely merely means "very likely" 50% means fairly sure etc. For Glassic owners, use the car number to find email addresses of owners on the Owner's list page if you want to contact them to discuss convoys.

This group rate is for a Single / Double suite with kitchen and breakfast buffet, and the rate is only good for reservations made by March 12, 2004, so book NOW before you forget. Cancel later (at least 24 hours before the reservation date) if your plans change.

To get our group rate, you must contact the hotel directly at (407) 240-3939 and tell them that your group is the Glassic Model A Replica Reunion. This rate is good for one week before and one week after our March 26, 27th weekend, so you can use this rate for an Orlando vacation too if you want. This is a NICE place! Here is a link to their webppage:

Here are a couple of pics of the suite that I stayed in at that hotel. These are what we got BEYOND the regular bed and bathroom part. We had a king bed, they also have 2 beds and a pull out couch as an option.

Everyone is invited! This is NOT just for Glassic or Shay owners. Anyone who is interested can attend - whether you are thinking of buying one, selling one, or just curious. You absolutely do NOT need to bring your Glassic or Shay-- it would be fun if you could, but not at all required. The hotel is near the Orlando Airport (ORD) and the hotel has an airport shuttle.

You do NOT have to stay at the hotel to participate in activities. There is no cost for anything at this reunion unless the participants vote to "go in on" pizza or carry-in food, or soft drinks, etc.
