[Chrysler300] Fwd: Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance club invitation

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK folks, I need to know two things. Is anybody interested in 
participating in this and does anyone in the area who is going, want to 
handle the tickets.
That would be easier I think, but if not, I can take care of ordering 
for and forwarding the tickets to those members wanting to go.
I'll need to know by June 1 if you want to attend.
Email me your intentions, and when I have at least 10, I'll ask for the 
money.
I'll let y'all know when we're past the minimum, and all requests after 
that will need to be sent with your $20, per person.

I questioned to fee and here is his answer:
Dear Ray:
Thanks for your email and questions.  Tickets for the Concours 
d?Elegance in 2006 were $40/person (children free).  We have changed 
the admission price in 2007 to $25/person (children free)?and tickets 
purchased by car clubs in advance are further discounted to 
$20/person.  Your note about $40/couple is then correct.  We are 
including program books at this price as well.  All clubs will be 
provided with a banner/sign with their name and logo which we will 
place in front of your club parking area, so that the general public 
will be able to understand which club is where.  Parking passes will 
also be provided.  These passes are intended only for ?club cars,? and 
not daily drivers, fyi.  Clubs will be able to distribute information 
about their club, future activities, etc as they wish.  They will also 
be able to bring in food and beverages (picnic) for their club members 
(not for resale).  Lawn chairs of course are fine.  With their 
credentials, and being parked adjacent to the Concours field, they will 
be able to go back and forth as they wish. We intend to have ?marshals? 
available during the day to specifically watch club areas while those 
members are on the Concours field.
I hope that this helps.  We really want to do everything we can so that 
the club members have a great time.  Please let me know if you need any 
additional information.
Sincerely,
Jon
