Hello all, Just a friendly reminder to mark your calendar NOW for one of the most enjoyable events of the year. The Spring 2002 Packard & Imperial Meet hosted by the Alabama Packard Club in Anniston, Alabama at the historic Victoria Inn. Don't delay make your plans now! To make reservations at the Victoria call: 256-236-0503. Be sure to mention you are with the Packard & Imperial Meet as there are is a block of rooms that has been set-aside for meet attendees. If you enjoy more than just looking at Imperials and Packards, then this is the Meet for you. If you enjoy touching and driving Packards and Imperials and you have dreamed of owning them, this is the Meet for you. This is not a look but do not touch kind of event. It is a very tactile event. There will be plenty of food, fellowship, and, fun. Additionally, the Victoria Inn provides a beautiful "old South" backdrop for the Meet. The Anniston Meets are by far the most laid back and best Meets I have ever attended, and I have been attending Meets and shows for 20+ years now! For the last Meet, we had a very good turnout of both Packards and Imperials. What FUN! I have never attended a Meet where if you show interest in a car, the owner will throw you the keys! Make your reservations now. You do not want to miss this meet! See you in Anniston! Robert Soule > Hello everybody, > > It's time to plan for another fabulous Anniston get together!
