  1. John Palermo thanked everyone for using the RSVP buttons on the meetup site. It has been a great help. However, if you decide that you will not be attending an event, PLEASE go back to the Meetup sight and change your RSVP status so the Ride Captains have an accurate number of who will be attending. These numbers are used when making breakfast/lunch reservations. Additionally, it lets us know if someone may be running a little late.
