Chris sorry I haven't even been on the forum this weekend at all, and had lots of **** going on. I'm still undecided on wether I want to sell them or not. Now that I'm keeping the car, I'm planning on doing the whole car over again, just don't know what I'm going to do.

Here are some general directions to aid in getting everyone around the
queens area.
Please note it is MUCH easier to get into Flushing Meadows-Corona Park
by going Northbound on I-678 to Exit 11. Then follow signs for Flushing
Meadows. At the stop sign you make a left turn and follow that one road
around the lake to the BIG parking lot adjacent to the Grand Central
Parkway.
For those coming Southbound on I-678 i am not to familiar with entering
the park. From what i have been told you can exit on College Point BLVD
from LIE or Jewel Avenue Westbound from I-678 (Van Wyck) going
westbound. I will try to go around the area this week and get better directions
if im not too busy.
If you have any confusions on entering FMP, PLEASE meet us at the
Pre-Meet Location on 110th / 111th Street and Astoria Blvd at 11:00am

We have a food list available. The way the meets have been done before
is that everyone contributes to the meets by bringing some type of food
or beverage. As the meets get bigger its becoming a more difficult task
to maintain. Therefore if you are coming to the meet and dont want to
starve please BYOF (Brind your own food). Most likely if you coming with
your group you will already have your own food plans.
The Usual NYRA members already know what to bring so we have our two
grills which anyone is more than welcome to use after we have finished.
Some notes. The parking lot where we will be meeting at is a PARKING
LOT. There are not tables / seats. You have to walk into the park to get
a table, but we just throw the BBQ grill right there and a tent or two
and we just do our GHETTO BBQ. The parks police or NYPD hasnt bothered
us yet.
So bring your own supplies to sustain yourself. I dont think we have
any doctors in the club.
The meet will begin officially at 12:00 Noon and will last until you
leave. This is a great way to socialize, meet new rotary heads from your
neighborhood, and buy and sell parts.
Please be social and get to know one another. The rotary community is
very small and even though we dont know it we all know one another!
So come thru and have fun. See you there.
Again feel free to email me, tommy or anil if you have any questions,
comments or suggestions.
The next year of NYRA meets will begin in April and will end in
September. So keep checking out the website www.nyrotary.com and the forums.

Chris. I got your PM a bit late! I didn't know of any meets going on.
Anyway Jay, not to fear - I'm another Jersey guy that'll be at the meet. I don't think I will be premeeting with Chris though. I'm coming straight from Jersey City.
BTW I plan on moving to Bayside in 3 weeks!
