As usual, the meeting itself is pretty informal and each section may take more or less time.

If you have specific Honda questions you want answered, please send them to me ahead of time.

I will send a reminder email for the meeting closer to the meeting date so we can get an accurate head count. This will be important for set up of the room.

Feel free to invite guests to the event, especially if they are hybrid owners.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Eric

* FYI: When I use google maps I think the pushpin is a little off from where the actual entrance is located. I think the entrance is actually closer to 1711 W Beltline Hwy Madison, WI 53713. Map link - http://tinyurl.com/8zawt
The community room is directly in front of you on the end of the Zimbrick Building as you enter the Buick lot.

xcel,
Keith is warned. I already have a few basic questions for him, and there are a few others that I'll probably need to talk to a Honda PR person about ahead of time.

Overall I expect him to give a pretty good presentation and I'm sure we can supplement his overview with our own comments as well.

I hope you can make it. Tbaleno is considering coming from down your way as well.

Oops, Sorry. I looked further down the thread after I asked, and see it's at Zimbrick.

Eric,
I had an idea. Would it be a bad idea to tape the presentations and then transfer then encode them on the computer for people to download them?

Hmm...interesting idea. I'm not sure if everyone is ready for such a venture, though.

I couldn't carpool with anyone. I will be driving up with the wife. We are also going to be taking our kids and the wife will probably go to a mueseum or something while we are having our fun. Also, there is a slim chance my MIL will come to help my wife with the kids in the meuseum.

It's almost time for this event everyone. We will be changing the last topic, and extending the meeting if needed, so we can discuss Hybridfest 2006.

I look forward to seeing you there!
