                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey everyone,<br><br>Dues collection notices will be going out this September for the upcoming year, 2025.&nbsp; We are making this change in hopes of having our roster solidified by the end of the year, which will make a number of things easier (such as Treffen registration) going forward.&nbsp; We would also like to get this in ahead of the holiday season, when we all get distracted with more important things, and many dues payments get forgotten in that hectic shuffle.<br><br>These notices will be going out in &quot;waves&quot;, due to restrictions imposed by the PayPal software.&nbsp; It simply won&#039;t allow us to send them to everyone all at once.&nbsp; So, if you get a dues notice but your buddies did not, or they all get one and you did not, just sit tight.&nbsp; Everyone will be receiving theirs in due time.&nbsp; Dues will remain at $50 this year, as they have always been in the past.<br><br>Anyone reading this can help us out by helping to spread the word.&nbsp; Unfortunately, not everyone reads this forum, so those of you that do read it can help us by letting your buddies know to keep their eyes peeled for a dues notice in their in boxes.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Bergrennen will again take place at Snowshoe, WV, from September 19th through the 22nd. <br><br>As has been the custom, and with fond memories of the early R Gruppe gatherings, it will be as loosely organized as possible. The guiding spirit of the event, is a chance to hang out in the parking lot in the evenings, with friends who we don?t get a chance to see often enough, and do some driving on the spectacular WV mountain roads during the day.<br><br>More to follow about hotel reservations.<br><br>Reservations can now be made at The Inn at Snowshoe for Bergrennen - September 19 - 22<br><br>Snowshoe is having a special offer for people who are staying two nights, get the third night free. With the added taxes, town and resort fees, this special offer is actually less than the Group Price that I had been negotiating, and doesn?t need the $500 deposit either. <br><br>We used to get a much better deal from Snowshoe, with the resort fee and deposit waived, but the new management is much stricter than they used to be. Anyway, this was the best deal for us.<br><br>Everyone can call to make their reservation, just mention ?1, 2, Free, with Adventure Discount? when reserving. There are some updated ?classic? two double bed rooms that are $287.44 inclusive total for the three nights, or the regular rooms, with two double beds, that are $227.70 inclusive for the three nights.<br><br>The reservation phone # is (877) 441-4386. I spoke with Jade, but she said anyone you reach can help you. There is no special code needed.<br><br>I?m looking forward to seeing everyone, and catching up. Have a fun, safe drive to WV!<br><br>Jim]]></content:encoded>
