Ok, so we have the date. March 12th, Saturday. Noon. Where? Don't know:D

Since I'm not from the Toledo area I will let you give me some great ideas on where to meet. Since it's at noon I'm looking for a great restaurant that will fit about 20 people in a nice atmosphere. Of course it must have a area we can pull tables together and talk.

I will be in Toledo next week looking around but would like suggestions. Maybe we will rent a small conference center and have it catered. Does anyone know of conference areas in Toledo?

Ok, Thanks!!

Just a thought, maybe you can set up some sort of conference call for those of us that can't actually be there physically. Atleast to just listen in. Might be kinda of neat.

The Holiday Inn in Monroe, Michigan, has a conference room and is right next door to the TA. Maybe this will do.

If you are considering "Sports Bar" kind of places, Perrysburg, Ohio...I-75 2 exits south of the Ohio Turnpike (80-90) on St Rt just off the exit is a "Fricker" (good wings and pulled pork) and also a "Ralphies", (just good all around food)....easy to get to from just about anywhere....there is a couple of "hotels" at the ame exit with conference rooms....

You want "upscale", 75 to Phillips ave exit and find your way to Mancys Steak House....But make sure you bring the Gold AmExp....:)

No problem. Also, this is just a "roundtable" meeting, this is not a fancy sponsored event with all the bells and whistles. It's just time to enjoy a good lunch and have a great time talking and helping each other. Anyone can attend, hopefully no one disruptive to our cause.

Any O/O can attend. whether it be a straight truck or tractor. But this is a concentration on cargo vans and sprinters,or cube trucks. New to the business, or a vetran. Thanks!!

Angelo's Northwood Villa.

There is also the Michigan Bar and Grill. I think the same people that own Pete's own this one.

Then there is Trapperz in La Salle. This place is getting to be very popular with the boating crowd. Don't forget The Frog Leg Inn in Erie. This is a French style place, small, great food.
