Our First Event in The New Facility
Aug 12^th, 2008 at 5:24pm

We have scheduled a 'pre opening' guest trainer event at our new facility.

We welcome Mike Cleary for his Powerstroke class on October 1st and 2nd, 2008.

At this time we are still under construction but very close to basic completion....then just details will remain. We do expect to have the serious construction finished in time for this event.

I have attached the event flyer for anyone who will be in the area and would like to attend.

I have heard very good reviews on this class and I'm sure it will be well worth attending.

See you there Wink

OK Sam,

You would fly into Sea Tac Airport. You would be traveling an hour south on Interstate 5 to Tumwater, traffic permitting. Tumwater is just south of Olympia. Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater all blend together.

The nearest and most convenient Hotel is the Guesthouse Inn in Tumwater. This is right off the I-5 exit 101 and would be a left turn over the freeway traveling south located on your right. I checked rates at $89 for business travelers.

1600 74th Ave SW
Tumwater, WA 98501
(360) 943-5040‎
guesthouseintl.com

There are several places nearby to eat, shop, etc.

This is 7 miles from Autonerdz. Here is a map Wink

Today I personally checked out The Guesthouse Inn. Having done a lot of traveling coast to coast, I think this hotel is very nice. Not luxurious, but extremely nice for the price. Clean rooms, convenient location, continental breakfast, free WiFi Internet, pool, hot tub....

Plus, very little city traffic between here and there...I recommend this for those who need a room for any of our events. Please tell them you are going to an Autonerdz event when you make your reservations. If we use them enough, maybe we can get the VIP treatment Wink

I have seen the facility with my eyes. Carl was there this weekend. I am lucky to live this close - I would not make else.
There are people who would like to go who can't perhaps. A sad thing. I will meet you and Jan there both.
Say, you guys, Jans name isn't pronounced the way we might be saying it - it is Y-ah-n like; pronounced with a y sound, not a j sound. Isn't that right Jan?

I have attached the event flyer for anyone who will be in the area and would like to attend.

I have heard very good reviews on this class and I'm sure it will be well worth attending.

See you there Wink

Hello all!

For those of you who are planning on coming to the Powerstroke seminar, could you please try to get the registrations in by Sept 15, if at all possible. It would greatly benefit Tom and I as we get all the details (ie food, etc) finalized for the class.

Thanks! Mike

That's right Don, Nice to bring this up

The J is like the Y in Yes, the A is not like in Man but like in Y-ah-n and without the H Smiley

Looking forward Smiley

With a little over one week remaining, there are still seats open in this class if anyone is interested in attending.
