TT rally 2013 Eureka Springs

[Marge]

Olbandit! So proud of you! You meant what you said as we were leaving Maggie Valley. I remember asking you what you thought of moving it to Arkansas and you said you would go wherever! I even remember Angie saying she would go even if it was in California!!! Such troopers! We appreciate the support.

 

[spiritdream]

No promises, but room is booked "just in case"!! ThumbUp

 

[Nana]

Yay! Cheri and Bandit, great news! Seeing old friends and meeting new friends..... it doesn't get much better than that! Marge and I are planning a preview trip out there soon to check out the motels and campgrounds and all. I'm looking forward to that

 

[spiritdream]

Oh, the sacrifices you both make for us!!

 

[Nana]

Oh, the sacrifices you both make for us!!

Marge, we'll just have to force ourselves to smile and look like we are having fun. It will be tough, but we can do it! LOL!!!

 

[Marge]

somehow, this whole new thing does not scare me that much - i guess it's the fact that i know we have great support from members and i have no doubt that we have a very competent staff. i'm actually somewhat excited to see the synergy among us as a team. we already have most of the key info we need to completely roll out this rally, and we have plenty of time to work on the minor details. on the interim, i started working on the rally website with not much info posted yet but i want to catch the registration for the head count and ID badges. i don't see the work as a sacrifice, but rather a selfless opportunity to help and improve. let's all just work together and have fun with it!

Remember to take a few pictures so everyone can "share your pain"!

 

[Marge]

oh definitely! we will post the pictures as we upload them!

 

[spiritdream]

Have I mentioned how much I miss you ladies? How long until June? LOL

I just want to say a big Thank You to "trikeleader" for all the personal effort he invested in searching out the host hotel and options for activities, and amenities for our gathering next June. These rallies take a lot of time and work to run smoothly, and it works best when there is team effort. So.... Thank You, Tom!!!!

 

[trikeleader]

I appreciate the recognition from Nana. I want to give credit to the person who is doing a lot of behind the scenes work and planning for the rally, registration, T-shirts and much, much more. The person I am speaking about is Marge. She is fearless about her dedication to this effort. ThumbUp

Yes, Marge has done (and continues to do) a great deal to make the rally a success. Her web pages are beautifully done and have organized and streamlined the registration records, and orders of meal tickets and t-shirts. Randy is blessed with a wife who supports him with the forum and with their business. Without Randy and Marge none of this would be happening!

 

[Minnesota Dick]

Well, I just booked a room for Martha and myself for the 2013 rally tonight. We are planning on arriving sometime sunday.

 

[Marge]

Thank you, Tom and Nana. We all try to help in any way we can. We appreciate everyone's support, hard work, input, and recommendations. Love y'all!

 

[Papa Zook]

What day is everyone checking in? The official gathering dates are Mon-Wed but I know we will be there on Sunday, maybe even Saturday. Any others?

 

[Nana]

Mike and I will be there Saturday or Sunday also

 

[Gold Rush]

Just in case my RV plans fall through I just made reservations for the 16th through the 19th.... Either way, I'll see you in the Ozarks!!! :Trike1: :Trike1:

 

[retdpd]

Our "Just A Triker Group" is probably arriving on the 17th and leaving on 22nd.

Not sure where we are staying yet.

Good choice, when we go to the BBB (Bikes Blues & Barbeque) rally in Fayetteville, AR we find excellent riding routes to enjoy.

 

[Saltywheels]

+1 for Marge for encouraging this move and all the background work, negotiations, planning, registration, name tags, TOI registration, lists, etc, etc, that she does. Keeps her VERY busy. I admit I wasnt 100% on board for the move in the beginning but it obviously was a great idea and many, many more people are able to attend that could not before. (see, I do admit when I'm wrong!) :Shrug:

BTW, since this event may well be quiet a bit larger than our previous ones, we will need volunteers that preferably know the area (or not). We will need several ride captains so area rides can be broken down into smaller groups, and additional staff to facilitate organizing and running this event. Please PM Marge if you are available.

Ghalib, I can't wait to meet you in person! It is great that you will be able to come out for the gathering

 

[OlBandit]

Zook,

Sherry and I will be there sometime Sunday afternoon. As always whatever you need for the rally let me know, Sherry and I will be glad to help whether it is road captain or rally site help, just let us know.

Ride Safe and Enjoy!

Thanks Bill, we'll take you up on that offer. Our goal is to move things into more "member organized" events that can be duplicated in venues all over the country but on a smaller scale. Thats why we decided it best to post a poll to get ALL members input rather than just us staffers as we tend to sometimes have blinders on and look at things from just our own perspective.

We will still have our annual "big" event, but Id also love to see more member hosted "mini rallys" or meet and greets through out the year all over the country. This is great fun, fellowship and builds many lasting friendships and who doesn't need all that? Who of us hasnt made lasting friendships here on this forum, particularly with those we've met in person? These mini meet and greets can even be just a day trip or an over night meetup/cookout/ride event anywhere, hosted by any member/members interested. If you want to be involved in this event or help organize one in your area, just say the word and we will help facilitate it.

Just booked rooms for 16-20 June for Betty and me and two other couples. This will be our first TT rally and we are all looking foreward to meeting everyone. If you need any help I will be getting in Sunday afternoon just give me a little notice and I'll be there.

 

[trikeleader]

Lou Ann and I will be there Sunday afternoon June 16, 2013. We are hoping to see other early birds there. :wave4:

 

[lzski326]

Rena and I will be there Sunday afternoon.

 

[jtilmon]

Terri and I plan to check in late Sunday afternoon.

Would a ride to Branson be a good thing? I've been there once many years ago and enjoyed it. I think the worlds largest Bass Pro Shop is there along with lots of other cool stuff. Anyone else been there? Whats worth seeing?
