Squidley Posted November 19, 2008 #1 Posted November 19, 2008 Hey All, I just recieved a phone call from Tweetie Bird and there is a bit of a snag Don just found out that his work has him sceduled for some sort of corporate meeting on the weekend that is planned for Maintenance day. He just found this out today during his trip to Minnesota that he's on right now. I know it's a bit of a PITA but we will be having Maintenance day the following weekend, which is June 6th. Fortunately it's still 7 months away and I dont think there will be any serious issues besides perhaps Jonah on his travels here to the USA. We will be getting with the Oberlin inn and working on getting it all moved around there. Don will fill in some of the blanks when he comes back home, but Maintenance day will just move forward 1 week. Don is extremely apologetic with all this, but I dont see any real big issues beside a bit of phone calls to straited rooms out. He and I appreciate your understanding and if you have any questions feel free to send them to me. Don will only be on sporatically due to his workload this week....Thanks as always.
IH Truck Guy Posted November 19, 2008 #2 Posted November 19, 2008 Brad,thanks for the heads up.. I guess that means we won't have to leave for another week....:crackup:
PBJ Posted November 19, 2008 #3 Posted November 19, 2008 Good thing i waited before I made my reservation. Thanks for the update Brad.
Skid Posted November 19, 2008 #4 Posted November 19, 2008 I hate it that Don isn't going to be able to make his own Maintenance Day. We sure are going to miss him.....
Double D Posted November 19, 2008 #5 Posted November 19, 2008 OK, do we need to cancel our reservations at the Oberlin Inn and make new ones?
mini-muffin Posted November 19, 2008 #6 Posted November 19, 2008 Guess I'll call tomorrow and change the date where we're staying. I don't think you'll have to cancel the first reservation they should be able to just transfer the whole thing. Margaret
hipshot Posted November 19, 2008 #7 Posted November 19, 2008 WELL, Squid! that just won't cut it! i cannot re arrange my entire schedule, just to accommodate DON'S, trivial, company knee-jerks! scratch me off the list, for maintenance day! i wasn't going to make it anyhow, but i thought i'd get HUFFY about it anyhow! lol just jt:stickpoke:
dray Posted November 19, 2008 #8 Posted November 19, 2008 I hate it that Don isn't going to be able to make his own Maintenance Day. We sure are going to miss him..... didnt some one a while back sleep through there own meet&eat? i dont remember who but it was down south but then everything is south from me LOL
Marcarl Posted November 19, 2008 #9 Posted November 19, 2008 Well now that's areal bummer, now I got no excuse as to why I can't make it,,,,,,,,,,well not yet anyways,,,,,,,,,I'll just have to work up a new one,,,,,,,,I feel one coming up already.
Freebird Posted November 19, 2008 #10 Posted November 19, 2008 I'm really sorry folks but I had no idea that this was coming. As I mentioned before, my company just added the state of Indiana to my territory. In doing so, I picked up a convention in Indianapolis that I have to attend on May 28-30th. What are the odds. There is absolutely NO WAY that I can get out of this unless I want to lose my job. NOW...if 6,000 members want to pay $20.00 per year dues to VentureRider.org, I'll just quit my job. But since I know that's not going to happen, I have to change the date to the following weekend. So, Maintenance Day will be held on June 6th. Wish there was something else I could do but it's just not an option for me.
ibents Posted November 19, 2008 #11 Posted November 19, 2008 I'm retired, so any day is good. BTW Don, are you going to change the calender?
davecb Posted November 19, 2008 #12 Posted November 19, 2008 Will the Oberlin Inn automatically change our date? This is something we really need to know. Thanks:Venture:

Thanks:Venture: Lonna is going to work on this today, I would think that since we are blocked in under Venturerider that they would be able to move the block. As soon as I get how it is all going to happen I'll let all of you know
DragonRider Posted November 19, 2008 #14 Posted November 19, 2008 Thats not a bad fee to pay good for us, cause you would be able to make every M&E, rally, MD, be there for us 24/7......Im all for it..............when do we start........:missingtooth: I'm really sorry folks but I had no idea that this was coming.

Yama Mama Posted November 19, 2008 #16 Posted November 19, 2008 Well I guess I will unpack and put away the tent. Yama Mama:hurts:
Sweetnothing Posted November 19, 2008 #17 Posted November 19, 2008 I will call the Oberlin around 8:00 this morning and see if I can have her move our block to the following weekend. Will let you know when it's all done.

We still plan on being there on the 30th and will have the lawn mowed and the "Pond Monster" harpooned...:rotfl: Seriously,with my erratic schedule,our plans change all the time,so this is no big deal..
Sweetnothing Posted November 19, 2008 #19 Posted November 19, 2008 OK....The lady that has to handle it will not be in till 9:30, so I will have to call her back. I will keep you posted!
Yammer Dan Posted November 19, 2008 #20 Posted November 19, 2008 No Sweat. I can't apply for Vac til Jan.
Sweetnothing Posted November 19, 2008 #21 Posted November 19, 2008 Everyone needs to call the Oberlin and confirm they will be able to be there on the 6th. The number is 440-775-1111. If you have any questions PM me or Nance56.
E-Fishin-C Posted November 20, 2008 #22 Posted November 20, 2008 Who needs Don there anyways:rasberry: ..Just get a life size photo of him holding the carb tune
StarFan Posted November 20, 2008 #24 Posted November 20, 2008 Fortunately it's still 7 months away and I dont think there will be any serious issues besides perhaps Jonas on his travels here to the USA. Thanks as always. Hey Squidley. I´ll be there. You can change it back and forward - I don´t care. You gotta find a better way to get rid of me
Squidley Posted November 21, 2008 Author #25 Posted November 21, 2008 Hey Squidley. I´ll be there. You can change it back and forward - I don´t care.
