Hey Jason,

I'm probably going to skip the pre-meet. Maybe I'll meet you en-route?

For the 2007 NYRA meets ALL DIRECTIONS WILL BE POSTED ON THE FORUMS AND www.NYROTARY.com. I will no LONGER be giving DIRECTIONS. I beleive i give accurate directions, these directions are made to ASSIST you in locating the meet. You should be do your own research and become familiarized with how you will be going from your direction. Best thing to do is to set up caravans from your location to the meets.

Dont mean to sound mean but it just sucks not enjoying the meet cuz your on the phone with ppl giving minute by minute directions.

DIRECTIONS are always posted and wil be posted next year as well with more intriquite details than this time, with ample maps and big FONTS, so that no one can tell me what they always tell me " I didnt see any directions!"

Still love ya Thanks for coming!
