2008 International Paper Model Convention

Hi All,

It is that time of the year again.

After a one year hiatus, the convention is back on track and in business.

We will be hosting the convention at the Hampton Inn(Brand New)

Hampton Inn & Suites Washington-Dulles International Airport

22700 Holiday Park Drive, Sterling, Virginia, USA 20166
Tel: +1-703-537-7800 Fax: +1-703-896-7510

http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/hotels/index.jhtml;jsessionid=GHOD2VCT5PTYMCSGBJC4D4Q?cty hocn=WASDUHX

I will be there, showcasing papermodelers.com and displaying some of my models, including the first public appearance of Siegfried and Roy(search for my soldier builds)

Set up is Friday evening October 31, yes, Halloween.
The main day of fun is November 1.
We will start the day at 9am, with presentations
For the Public, the doors open at 10am.
We will be going til 6pm, and then cocktail hour, til 8, and Dinner follows with our auction benefitting the convention will start after that.

Sunday the 2nd, We will conduct our business meeting, so if you want to sit in, and maybe help out, please join us.

The cost is $110, but this will include, table rental, dinner, the set up sandwich buffet, convention fee, and a couple of other things that slip my mind at this moment.

We have been able to negociate a convention room rate for those wanting to stay over, $69 a night.

For convention monies payment, send me a pm, and I will send you the name and address of Peter Ansoff.

Hope to see you all there.

Rick
(Anyone local to the DC area is encouraged to attend)

Sounds like fun, unfortunately with my job I have to plan most long distance events a year ahead.

I so wish I could, but the budget will not allow it this year. Perhaps things will be better next year - and Niklas will be another year older and hopefully more interested / easier to handle

It would be really GREAT to have the chance to meet you (and other Forum members) in person, Dan. I sure hope you can make it next year . . . and bring your models! And Niklas! My grandsons have always hand a grand time at these events, even when they were quite young.

I agree Don. Having my son aside, I'd love to buy you a lunch and an adult beverage of your choice and hear you spin some tales.
I'm working on some things to hopefully get me in a better financial situation next year - we'll see how it works out. Damn economy...

I just made my reservation at the hotel. The block of rooms at the $69 group rate is already booked, but I was able to get an $80.10 plus tax rate by being old and a member of the Hilton Honors Club.

Hope to see many of you there, including all of the Greater Delaware Valley gang.
