Agenda
Hi, everyone!

We are very excited to see everyone in a couple short weeks and have finally put fingers to keyboard to share a still-in-the-works agenda for the weekend! A few things to note regarding the agenda:

- A weekend agenda with times and final details will be distributed at check-in, as well as an area guide and restaurant recommendations.

- Please plan to have cash on you for the weekend as Shipshewana and nearby areas may only accept cash and will save a headache and frustration.

- We are still working to confirm location of breakfast for Friday morning but will update the forum once confirmed. Please let Amber know if you will be opting out of breakfast with the group completely so we can adjust the headcount accordingly.

- Please sign-up for the MORryde Factory Tour and Lunch Presentation if you have not already by Wednesday, July 12, 2023. Plan to drive yourself or carpool to MORryde. Sign-ups are required.

- Gerry Atkinson has graciously been voluntold to coordinate a cornhole tournament :) early sign-ups are not required but always appreciated.

- We are working on organizing "group" tours to Menno-Hof and/or Dutch Creek Animal Farm for Saturday afternoon and will update on the forum.

We're looking forward to seeing everyone and cannot wait for another fun rally weekend! Call or text Amber at 574-361-4325 with questions!

Dave Looking for to seeing you, Carleen, & Bunny.
I also want to tell ya I finally got my bedroom vertical seals changed over to your modification.
This wasn’t as hard as I envisioned.
I believe your right, this is a much better seal system then as originally designed.

Did you look at the inside seals as well. One of mine had fallen off the other was in poor shape as well. I replaced all four.
