Wondering how many of us on here are from Michigan and if there is any interest in a get together sometime over the winter. Please leave me a message here or email me. If there is interest I would be happy to put together a meet.

Count me in, Don (Unless it conflicts with the High Point EXPO!! I don't let ANYTHING come in the way of that LOL). Been trying to put one together in Mich for years.

Mike (Southgate, MI)
If I don't want to, I don't have to and nobody can make me (except my wife) cuz I'm RETIRED!!

Its in the flint area... I will compile where everyone is from and try to find the best meeting spot from there. Undecided yet on where to take this first meet, weather we should just get together for a luncheon or have a full blown meeting with raffles and such..... any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to email me with any questions, comments and suggestions.

I show almost 350 rod builders on the RodMaker Subscriber list in Michigan, so you certainly have a good crowd to draw from.

Randy,

You'll enjoy it for sure. Wish I could make it up, but the trip is a bit far for me as well.

I hope it's a good gathering and the first of many.
