Sorry for the late posting on this. I started a new job last week and have been up to my neck. I won't even get to Sun N Fun myself until late on Friday and still don't even know if I will be flying my Pacer or driving. I gave up on getting the engine back in my Mustang and bringing it.
The KR dinner will be at the Holiday Inn South on Saturday 4/21. This is the same place it was last year. Steve and Linda Bennet have agreed to put the signup sheet in their booth again (Great Plains). Be sure to thank them when you sign up. They have both been great supporters of the KR since before most of us even knew what a KR was. You will need to sign up by Thursday to be sure to have a meal reserved. Also, don't forget to indicate your meal selection which will be steak or lasagna. I can confirm that the lasagna there is great and everyone told me the steak was also. Don't pay Steve and Linda. They will be busy working at the show and I don't expect them to spend a bunch of time keeping track, making change, etc. Pay me at the Holiday Inn. Please be sure to sign up or call me to sign you up if you can't be there. They don't give me a lot of flexibility to make changes in the numbers attending on the day of the dinner and they expect me to pay them for what we ordered so let me know if you may not be able to make it. The price is $21.00 for lasagna and $26.00 for the NY strip. This is figured based on their price of $12.95 for the lasagna and $16.95 for the strip plus 20% gratuity, 7% sales tax, and $100 set up and room rental divided by an estimated 20 people. The Holiday Inn is at 3405 South Florida Ave and their number is 863-646-5731 if you get lost. They are about 10 minutes from the airport. Indicate on the signup sheet if you need a ride or if you have a car and room for others you can take or give me a call. I have the room for 6:00 and dinner will start at 6:30. They yelled a me a few years ago about having to remake all the salads because we were not ready to serve in time so this year dinner will start promptly at 6:30. Arriving at 6:30 and telling KR tales before dinner is encouraged. My cell phone number is 904-536-1780 and my direct email address is [email protected]. If you have questions or want to confirm your being there send it direct to me, not the entire list. Again, please make every effort to let me know your meal selection by Thursday. If you can't let me know by then still give me a call on Friday or Saturday. They have not given me a hard time about adding people after the cutoff before and I don't want anyone to miss the dinner because of my late notice. If anyone wants to put the dinner information on their KR web site please do. There are a lot of people that come to the dinner that do not subscribe to this list and we don't want anyone to miss it. Oh, I will be camping at the same place again this year by the vintage camping area. All are welcome on Friday night for KR tales and whatever food I can scrounge up. I don't know what time yet, but you can call me at 904-536-1780. Brian Kraut Engineering Alternatives, Inc. www.engalt.com
