One more thing about the Anniston Gathering. The 888 number that Jeff gives below gets an answering machine and they'll call you back. The direct number that they answer is 256-236-0503. If you do not tell them that you are part of the Alabama Packard and you want one of the 'blocked' rooms, they will tell you they are sold out for April 12-13. I was late making my reservation and don't know how many rooms are blocked but I'd not delay if you think you are going to go. Finally, one more reason to attend is that you will get to meet the famous Jeff Carrothers (IML Member Spotlight) in person! (he's gonna kill me for that.. :) ) kerryp --- Jeff Carrothers <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > > > Hello everybody, > > > > It's time to plan for another fabulous Anniston > get together!
