Below are the final plans for the Roswell 10 year anniversary event in June of 2009 called "New Beetles Return to Roswell".
If you have even the slightest urge to go make your room reservations soon (phone number below). You can always cancel later if things change for you.
The main motivator of this years event is our own "Cueball" (Earl).
Caravans will be leaving from several 'corners' of the nation and will meet up in northern New Mexico for the final few hours drive to Roswell. We will have our own group leaving from Southern California the Tuesday before.
THIS WILL BE AN ADVENTURE YOU WILL NEVER FORGET!!

New Beetle fanatics,
Finally I got the chance to work on this important project!!!!
Again, it is set for June 25th (evening), 26, 27, and 28th
(breakfast) of 2009 in beautiful Roswell. You do not have to have a
new beetle to come, but hope you have had one at one time or another
or you have chosen to leave it behind for this trip.
Tentative plans are:
June 25th - Meet and greet and have the traditional dinner at Tia
Juana's restaurant at 7:00 in the evening.
June 26th - Free day with two tours (one to Carlsbad Caverns and the
other to Lincoln historical town), possibly start around mid morning.
June 27th - Informal car show at the Sally Port from 11:00 to around
3:00. I am thinking of a car tour where owners will tell the crowd
what they have done to their rides as we tour the show - no trophies
so you do not to do the whole detail deal if you do not want to.
Hopefully a parade down main after (to be determined, but the town
seems to want this to happen - we will see). A banquet at the Sally
Port in the evening (lets party!)
June 28th - Meet for breakfast and sad goodbyes.
The only cost for any of these neat things would be for the banquet.
They say that it costs about $16.05 per person for a great buffet,
more to come on the menu and cost as time nears. So these are the
tentative plans for the 10 year reunion, do you have any ideas or
suggestions? Please write to me if you do.
I have finally made a deal with the Best Western Sally Port Inn &
Suites (better known as just the Sally Port to us old timers). I
think it would be much more fun if we all stayed in the same hotel if
possible. We have reserved a block of 50 rooms at a reduced rate to
start (I hope we will need more than that). Most are two beds, all
non-smoking, but a few are what they call suites. The regular price
for a regular room is $99.95 per night plus tax. We have a deal of
$75.00 per night plus tax or $80.00 per night plus tax for the suite
(not really sure what is in a suite, but a king size bed).
We currently have about 40 cars who have said they are interested.
What we need from all of you is to call the Sally Port at (575)
622-6430 and make your reservations. Tell them you are with the "New
Beetles Return to Roswell" group to get the discount. In this way we
will be able to get a pretty good count. You can cancel up to June
11th, 2009 without any costs so it is really no obligation so please
make your reservations if you are thinking of going.
We will be starting to work up caravans and getting caravan leader
volunteers. I have always thought that most of the fun was just
getting there and back! Lisa Linn has volunteered to make us a web
site in the near future so keep an eye out for that in the next few
months. We hope that this will be a grass roots thing as was the
first R2K so please spread the word as you can - the more the merrier.
Lets not let our great tradition fade away!!!!!!
