(IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME READING ABOUT THIS, GO TO ORIGINAL MESSAGE BELOW FIRST) OK, here are the plans. NEED ACTUAL RSVPs NOW (Preferably by March 10th) The DATE HAS BEEN SET , 4/24/04. RAIN DATE 4/25/04. Please let me know who would like to go. I need the following: 1) Your Name and number of people in your party 2) What you will be driving 3) If you will be bringing any additional cars (e.g. back-up vehicle to haul the family) 4) How many lunches you wish to buy 5) PAYMENT. See Below Our meeting place will likely be off the Long Island Expressway, exact place to be announced. Time about 9:30 AM We will head over to the Gallucio Family Wineries 24385 Main Road - PO Box 1269 Cutchogue, New York 11935 (631) 734-7089, telephone http://www.gallucciofamilywineries.com/ We probably will get there around noon. They will provide lunch. Their plan is to offer a BBQ and tour for the price. I have also requested some tables and chairs, but we might want to bring our own blankets/ tables/ chairs as we wish. THE PRICE IS $30.00 per person. I am told that they will set up something quite nice for us. That includes the use of their grounds, and the tour. For the Hamptons this is a reasonable price. HOW TO RSVP AND PAY Please email me the information at [email protected] Again: 1) Your Name and number of people in your party 2) What you will be driving 3) If you will be bringing any additional cars (e.g. back-up vehicle to haul the family) 4) How many lunches you wish to buy 5) PAYMENT. I prefer PAYPAL Payment. If you are sending a check, please e-mail me for my address. Here is the PAYPAL link. https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_home Once there, go to Sign in or register Go to Send Money Recipients e-mail [email protected] Type: Goods (other) Subject: ROE Note: Your name and how many lunches you are buying, and any other information you like. Recall that we were considering a charity component. The one that is being offered is contributions to The Trinitas Hospital Health Foundation.. See: http://www.trinitashospital.com/ for information (go to How Can I Give?) In this case, you may include an extra amount for one of the following: 1) To buy raffle tickets at 20.00 per ticket (1st prize up to $10,000) and or 2) To put money towards a Journal Ad for the Health Foundation Fundraising Gala on May 13th. I like this idea as it will be by and from ROE, and would add a true charity component to this event. Again, this is totally voluntary, but if you do wish to add anything for this, just include in your payment and let me know what youd like the money to go for. Questions? [email protected] Thanks! Sam _________________________________________________ ORIGINAL MESSAGE: Spring ROE on the way. Hello all: Those of you who were there for the Fall ROE know about this, but for others, heres the basic idea: Get as many Italian cars (and other nice vehicles) as possible together for a fun run to beautiful points east on Long Island known by some as the Hamptons, others as the Country but to we commoners on Long Island as simply Out East. Hence the name, Run Out East or ROE (wait, even more cleverness to follow). We meet at a central point, caravan to a winery, then onto another point for lunch. Now, for some fine tuning for the anticipated second installment, Spring ROE: GENERAL: 1) The DATE HAS BEEN SET , 4/24/04. Rain date 4/25/04 2) Everyone is welcome who is an auto enthusiast with a car they love and is in for a friendly get together, and is not likely to require incarceration, 3) Not just a Guy thing (sorry guys). Families, kids, wives, girlfriends (though not wives and girlfriends together; its a rally, not demolition derby) are welcome. I think it is important to be non sexist and inclusive (OK, the truth: some of you wouldnt be allowed out without the wife). If that requires a backup car, so be it. Just keep 20 car lengths behind the real cars. JK sort of. 4) We have interest from other Italian Marques owners (Alfa Romeo & Fiat/Lancia), so this will be more inclusive right off the bat. 5) I am trying to make this as simple as possible for everyone to join and enjoy. Basically Pre-pay (yes, see below) and show up. You will be guided all the rest of the way. MORE SPECIFIC: 1) We gather at a central meeting place, perhaps off Exit 63 of the LIE as we did last time. 2) We caravan out to a winery, the same one as last time, Galluccio Wineries. Once there, the following takes place: After lining up the cars on the lawn there is a catered lunch for those who PREPAY. Then, there are tours and wine tasting. At the same time, there can be informal peoples choice awards for cars based on various categories. Everyone judges each others cars. Photos are taken, including perhaps a group shot of one car representing one of each marque represented at the ROE. 3) There has been talk of adding a charity component to this. That is, give folks the OPTION of contributing to a worthy cause. My initial thought is to contribute to a Hospital, in this case mine in NJ. That can be done through a Journal ad by this group, and or raffle ticket purchases. This is purely optional, but it seems would add a nice touch to the event for little money. Last Year's Event:
Sam: I have sent all the information to my Viper guys and now await their response. You will probably start getting payment shortly. Also since a few people probably do not have Paypal, can you shoot me over the address you want me to send the payments to? Thanks for everything!! Keith
FYI: We are getting F-Chat sponsors for this. Getting better all the time. Even if you have already RSVP'd your interest to me, please do so again now providing the information I requested. The winery and the sponsors are asking for numbers. Thanks Sam
The Robert Moses Breakfast Club was great. Makes me hope for a large turnout for ROE. Register early and register often (or something like that). We are also getting some sponsors. May be a prize for best car in event...to be decided by participants. RSVP. Thanks Sam
First 100 people to sign up (hey, I'm an optimist) get caps with the ROE logo. We are getting some sponsors...details to follow. T-shirts highly likely too. Stay tuned. Lots of fun and interesting cars registering so far. Sign up! Sam [email protected]
First 25 (per car) to register get a free official ROE t shirt ( no kidding). Might have a few more, but I'll promise at least that many for now. The winner of the people's choice concours will also get a Technik 1 gift certficate for a detail (worth $300). Sign up!
Sam, I'm in. Sent (i) payment via PayPal and (ii) an email with registration details to you. Many thanks for organizing. This sounds like a lot of fun! I'm a Medium. Vik.
As of now Sam myself plus 1, the 328 of course, no other cars, 2 lunch. Shoot me your address so I can supply payment. Thanks Greg.

Sounds good Sam. We should definitely get some interest from our recently-departed brothers in the Mid-Atlantic section.
REMINDER: SIGN UP. WE ARE GETTING A NICE CROWD, BUT I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SAID THEY WOULD BE THERE WHO HAVE NOT SIGNED ON YET. (SIGN UP BY APRIL 10, Please) SAM
SAM, I am interested in joining in on the activities! One problem it would take me forever to get there . I would love to fly in and hop a right seat with someone who has some available seat space. I just need to know where to fly in and then talk someone into picking me up! VERNON
You could come in to McArthur in Islip. That's only about fifteen minutes from where we will be gathering.
