Hello Lions,

We are planning an overnight trip leaving July 19 and Returning late on July 20th to visit the Leaderdogs for the Blind facility in Rochester Hills Michigan. We are needing to update them with the number of people we will have. At this time we can accommodate the first 30 that would like to participate.

We will make the room reservations at the Embassy Suites hotel nearby to the facility. Cost of the room is $140 a night plus tax. You will take care of yourself own room the day of the trip there. We are looking at securing 2 -15 passenger vans that we can take instead of the huge expense of a charter bus.

If in fact we have to rent them we will split that cost among those attending as well as the gas. I'm trying to get those vehicles donated so that all we will have to worry about is gas. Please advise as soon as possible if you plan on attending this event. We currently have 9 on the list. The itinerary will look somewhat like this: Leave mid morning on the 19th. Will stop for a quick lunch and a few other stops along the way I'm sure for gas and stretch breaks. We would arrive at our hotel late afternoon early evening. We will see if the hotel has a restaurant or if there is something near by that we can get everyone in to for dinner. We would get up the next morning and head to Leaderdog where we will tour their facility and see what our donations to them go towards.

We will have lunch there. You will also have an opportunity to shop a bit in their gift shop. Then by mid afternoon we will jump in the vans to head home. Again with stops along the way. I would anticipate a late arrival home that evening.

If you are interested secure your spot today!! But no later than June 1, so we can see if we will need the 2 vans or not. And we can give Leaderdog and definite count of how many we will have in our group so that they can plan accordingly as well.

Thank you,
Peg Morris,
1-M Leaderdog Chairperson
