911 We are in serious need of participants for the Corpus Christi 2012 Summer Ride! As of April 16, 2012, only 36 members have mailed in registrations and it is dead even…18 from Texas and 18 from California/Canada. At the hotel only 52 rooms out of a 150 block are reserved. Because of these low numbers, we are in real danger of losing valuable amenities…such as the free Monday and Tuesday night dinners, the use of the banquet room for free, a special area in the covered parking garage for just our group and separate hospitality and registration rooms. We had a good turn-out in California's backyard of South Lake Tahoe and since Corpus is in Texas' backyard, I was hoping Texans would look at this as chance to have two vacations. We don't have to spend 3 to 4 days traveling each way and with that time and money saved, an extra vacation is a possibility. I know the heat and humidity is a concern but with the Gulf breeze, lots of water, sunscreen and a hat…plus all the available indoor activities….it is quite bearable. And for those you worried about a hurricane, the last one to hit Corpus in June was 1913. In fact it isn't even due to have a hurricane until 2015. The last one to even come close was September 2010 and she only had winds of 45 miles an hour. A summer ride has never been cancelled, but this most certainly could have the lowest turn-out in the last 20 years. You may ask "What do I get for my $129 a night and why come since it is in my own backyard OR it is between 1500 to 2000 miles one way?" Well let me tell you…. ***you get a room with a view of either the harbor or the bay ***you get a room with either 1 king or 2 queen beds that will sleep 1-4 people ***your get --when you arrive on Sunday--a personal welcome from the hotel, along with lemonade and cookies ***you get---when you sign up as a Preferred Guest--which is free--free morning beverages and many other perks ***your get free internet each day you stay at the hotel ***your get free covered parking each day you stay at the hotel in our own designated area ***you get a free wash station maintained by the hotel ***you get 2 free meals…1 Monday--chili and 1 Tuesday--beach party burgers and hotdogs ***you get one awesome hospitality room close to the pool PLUS-- you come to see friends, to enjoy the camaraderie, to support a truly dues free organization, not to mention to tell stories and hear stories.
