<p class=MsoNormal>Ladies and Gentlemen,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Just a quick update and a map to help you see where the
Dallas hotels are for those who are going to be doing the escorts from there.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>First, thank you all for taking time out of your busy
schedules to participate in the Snowball Express events. With our ongoing
theme of “It’s All About The Kids” we are moving right along
with our plans to put smiles on faces and show them a great time while
they’re in town.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please take a few minutes and sign up as soon as you can if
you can possibly ride escort in any of the events. On the sign up sheets
you are given a choice of which hotel you want to ride from. On a couple
of these days we have multiple hotels with NOBODY signed up yet to go there,
and only 1 or 2 riders at a couple of other hotels…and we’re not
exactly swamped anywhere. We can move riders around from hotel to hotel
since they’re all pretty close together, but if we only have 2 or 3 at a
particular hotel, it’s tough to take away from that number. It
would be great if we had 10 riders at every hotel for every time out. I
can’t put all the statistics we have so far in this short message, but
please believe me that we need lots of riders yet. If you’re
thinking of participating in even one of the escorts, please sign up and come
on out. Weather.com only goes out so far, but it looks like it’s
going to be great riding weather and we sure don’t want any of the kids
going home disappointed because there weren’t enough motorcycles…or
any motorcycles…to take them where they were going.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The attached map shows the 10 hotels that Snowball Express
is using. We are escorting from all 10 and there will be a Ride Captain
assigned to every escort. Law enforcement will also be there. You
can see that all 10 hotels are fairly close to each other, with no more than
just a few block separating any 2 of them. The Magnolia and the Adolphus
are right across the street from each other, as are the Sheraton and the
Westin. The Indigo is only about 3-4 blocks from either of these
groups. One thing you might want to write in on the map legend - #2 is
the Westin Hotel. It didn’t print under “Points Mapped”
for some reason.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please stay tuned to the North Texas PGR web site at <a
href="http://www.txpgr.org">www.txpgr.org</a> for all the latest updates and
sign up sheets. We still have a couple more of those to put out as we get
additional information. We have yet to post the airport departure escorts
on 12/13, we have been asked to have volunteers at the DFW airport terminal on
departure day (12/13) to assist the families on their way home, and we’re
still working on a schedule to have folks come and greet the families as they
get to their hotels on the 9<sup>th</sup>. These are more great
opportunities for folks not riding in the actual escorts to get to see the kids
and family members close up and show them how much you care.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It’s all about the kids. Let’s make them
glad they were here and give them an experience they can remember the rest of
their lives.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you all.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
