SIXTH ANNUAL NO FRILLS
IRON BOTTOM MOTORING TOUR
FINAL NOTICE
Some last minute information:
The only way we have to communicate with participants is via e mail.
If you know anyone who should be on our contact list ask them to send an e
mail and put NFIBMT on the subject line.
With the publicity we got in the January 04 issue of Automobile we
expect a record turn out. Plan to arrive early 7:00AM. Get signed in,
get your tour book, and be ready to go. We will leave at 7:30AM.
Thursday April 8, 2004.
Remember this event is free so the disorganizers have no incentive to
wait for you if you are late. If you miss the start we will be having lunch
at the In N Out Burger in Atascadero.
Be ready to make your reservation for our NEW EVENT, the all hands dinner in
Paso Robles, on Friday night. The price is $23 per person, this includes tax
tip and non alcoholic drinks. Bring cash and bring exact change.
Bring some kind of name tag so we can call one another by name.
See you at the Rose Bowl early on April 8th.
