Hello from the Capital City Chapter, Austin, Texas. I have been working with Regional Director Russ Welty on this event. (This event is supported but not sponsored by The Falcon Club of America as a FCA National or Regional event.) We just hope that lots of the membership of the FCA will come and join the fun. This is a great event and you don't want to miss it. I have blocked rooms as detailed in the flyer, but remember to get the special price, mention Falcon Club of America. Book your rooms as soon as possible. Rooms will go fast. Attached is a flyer for Cruising the Coast that I would like you to distribute to you membership or any other Falcon lover that I may have forgotten. Feel free to contact Russ if you have any questions. Be sure to go to the web site for all the details. Dennis Lebo mailto:dennis.lebo@sbcglobal.net http://cruisinthecoast.com/
