Richard,

We need Rhonda to coordinate & moderate the ladies' activities. If us guys do it you know it will be WRONG! Glad to have her on board. Just have her email me with her ideas and we will get the ball rolling. If anyone else thinks that their wife would want to help Rhonda out I'm sure she would welcome it.

Let's remember that this rally is a group effort; we all need to help out with suggestions and ideas.

Is April 11-15, 2009(tenative) o.k. with everyone? If you have any conflicts please let us know. I would like to see if these dates are open @ Buckhorn Lake Resort in Kerrville. Rally dates fill up quick.

April 11th to 15th works the best for us!

Went to the Buckhorn Lake Resort website and it looks like a very nice facility.

Our route to Kerrville is pretty uncomplicated....we jump on I-10 in Ontario, CA and drive 1200+ miles and exit in Kerrville...LOL!

Tom....if you are able to attend, maybe we could hook up with you on the way and travel there together. Let me know....

Mike H,

If you are coming down I-49 from Ruston and then catching I-10 in Lafayette Arnold and I could hook up with you and caravan on to Kerrville. Let me know what your plans are.

Remembering that the 12th is Easter, Buckhorn is pretty much full on that weekend. They have a Marathon Rally the 20th - 26th. They could probably get us in either the first part of the month leaving prior to the 9th or 10th or anytime between the 13th and the 19th. After that, it would be after the 27th.

Michael,

Thanks for calling Kathy @ Buckhorn. Personally, I would prefer the beginning of April; maybe April 1st thru the 5th. But I am open for any dates if someone else has a conflict.

What do the rest of you guys want?

Currently we have 10 coaches that are coming. According to Kathy we need 15 or more to get a special rally rate of $29+tax per site per night. If we all rally (excuse the pun) some of our Newell friends maybe we can get to the magic number of 15.

The 1st through the 5th puts me in Texas too early for the family wedding. We could do the 13th to the 16th, but would have to leave on the 17th to drive up to Tyler for the wedding. We could also probably do the 19th to the 23rd, after the wedding.

Does it have to be at Buckhorn? Is there another resort in the area, or region we could check out that has availability??

Clarke,

The 19-23 sounds good for both you and Tom, but Buckhorn is booked on those dates. So we will contact LaHacienda RV park west of Austin for those dates. They have just opened a new section but I'm not sure if they do rallies. Will keep everyone informed.

I reserved some sites at LaHacienda RV resort for April 19th thru 22nd checking out the morning of the 23rd, 2009. Each coach should call and reserve/pay for his site; reference the Newell rally. Ask for Linda 512 266-8001

This is a beautiful RV resort, and I encourge all of you guys to try to make it down to this mini rally. It is going to be a lot of fun.

Rhonda and I plan on being there for at least the preceeding Saturday, and the Sunday the rally starts. We have two billy goats still in school, so they have to be back on Monday. However, it's close enough that maybe I can send them back in the toad and stay an extra day or so.

I plan on bringing tools :-)

if you are bringing tools, will there be a paramedic there as well? i am good for a few pints of o+ blood.

i cant work on the newell without at least a cut or bruise or bang on the head.

only difference is when i am working on someone elses, they feel sorry for me. darlene just knows i am a klutz, so not much sympathy there.

later

tom

Tuga.....I called today for Linda, but she's out of town until Friday, and the lady who answered was not familiar with the Newell rally so she suggested I call back on Friday when Linda returns. Did you reserve pull through sites, or back in? Also, in which section?

Clarke,

I spoke to Michelle because Linda was on vacation. I reserved 10 sites in the pull thru section because she said that's where they put rallies. It should be reserved under "Newell rally". Maybe Michelle could help you or you could just wait until Linda returns. She told me that we could get more sites if everyone signs up early.

As it stands now, our plans are to roll into Austin and the site on Friday night the 17th. We will leave either Sunday night or Monday to get the kids back in school. Hopefully I will get to meet all of you on Sunday.

I may try to send the bride and kids back on their own, since it's only about three hours drive, so I can stay longer. We'll see.

Thanks again for setting this up.

Although we can't make a firm commitment at this time, Vanessa and I would love to join the group if at all possible. We are scheduled for a Long Beach race on April 18 but if history repeats itself, we will cancel our participation, which will leave that time slot available. We should know by the middle of March which hopefully would give us time to reserve a pull thru, as we will be pulling a trailer. Great idea, hope it catches on for future get togethers.

I think that a number of folks will be arriving on Friday the 17th or Saturday the 18th to take advantage of the weekend. Since this is a very informal gathering, anyone wishing to arrive early, please do so. I hope to be in on the 17th myself.

I should probably add this this mini-rally is not sponsored by Newell but rather an opportunity for Newell owners to get together to talk about their coaches, enjoy great company and get maintenance/upgrade suggestions. Several of us have done maintenance/upgrades to our coaches and will be happy to share information with others. We will have some workshops/Question & Answer sessions to share information on getting the most out of our coaches.

Hope to see you there, the more the merrier.
