We had an incredible evening last night. We had a potluck with I believe everyone there. well over 50 people. the food was great, the visiting fantastic, oh yea, and the food was great.

Michael Day did his "History of Newell" presentation that we all enjoyed. He is quite the historian.

Bill Appel and his family showed up after a long haul from japan to denver to here and surprised everyone by giving away engraved coffee mugs commemorating the rally. thanks bill. if you didnt get your mug, come get it at our coach. we have plenty of them left.

this morning we have 2 technical "discussions" by richard entrekin. at 9am one on air conditioning principles. the next at 10 on air suspensions. we will meet at the pool area where the potluck was at. if the event center is avail we will move over there. but show up at the pool.

tonite and tomorrow nite is the coach open houses. we will have handouts avail at my coach later this afternoon for which coaches that are open tonite (if we can get clarke to print them for us....)that starts at 6pm.

Tuesday morning at 9 will be John C. doing his "everything newell" and basic electricity discussion at the event center. start at the pool area.

the next group potluck will be wed nite and the final one friday nite. both at the pool area like last nite. the drawing giveaways will be done on wed potluck

as usual, things may change and or morph. as clarke says....our plans are in jello. just is the jello tastes really good.
