Time to make plans for the Packard & Imperial Meet in beautiful Anniston, Alabama.  Donald Taccone and the Alabama Packard Club have once again graciously extended an invitation for Imperial owners to attend their gathering at the Victoria, September 16 - 18, 2010.  This is a wonderful event, as those of you who have attended past meets already know.  For those of you who have not attended, you have missed out on a lot of fun.  Don't miss this opportunity for a great weekend at the elegant Victoria Inn & Hotel.  The following link will provide you with a plethora information about the Victoria:  http://www.thevictoria.com/

Call the Victoria at 1-800-260-8781 to make reservations.  Be sure to tell the clerk that you are with the Alabama Packard Club to get the Club discount on your room ($69.00 per night).  The room price includes a breakfast buffet for Saturday and Sunday mornings.   Please email Donald Taccone (pacdoc1956@aol.com) after you have made your reservation to let him know if you plan to attend the dinner Saturday evening, what you plan to drive, and how many nights you expect to stay.

Since our last visit, there have been some changes made at the Victoria. The previous owner was foreclosed on and the property taken over by the original family. They have since donated it to Jacksonville State University, who are the new owners. The bar and restaurant were shut down by the previous owners, so at this time, only the breakfast buffet is available. Everything else remains the same as before.

For those arriving on Friday, there will be a Welcome/cocktail party in Room 111 from 7:00 until.

Saturday will allow everyone a chance to look, drive, visit and kick tires. Lunch will be on your own and there are several places within walking distance. The city of Anniston is promoting their first ever "Cruise In" in downtown Anniston from 6 until 9 PM. on Noble Street, just a few blocks away. We have arranged for dinner at the local restaurant, "Classic on Noble". This restaurant catered our Christmas Party and the food was fabulous. I have arranged for us to receive a salad, your choice of one of three entrees, with dessert, coffee or tea for the price of $35.00, which includes tax and gratuity. The cruise in will be very close to the restaurant, so those that wish to participate can park their car, look around at the other cars in attendance and have dinner, all without having to move their car. This will be a good chance for us to show others just what an Imperial or Packard are. I have been told that there may be vendors selling hot dogs and such, but this is not guaranteed. If you are planning to have dinner with the group at "Classic on Noble" on Saturday evening, please let me know as soon as you can so that I can make the necessary reservations. 

On Sunday, there will be time to visit, look and drive before it is time to check out and make the return trip home.

We hope that you will make plans to join us for a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend with friends, just a short distance from where you live.

Please make your reservations with the Victoria 1-800-260-8781 and mention the Packard club to get the correct room rate. We look forward to spending time with the members from the Imperial club and all the others that show up while we are there. This is always a fun and relaxing get away and we hope that everyone will make plans to join us.

Thanks,

Donald Taccone

PS...the dates for the Fall trip are September 17-18, 2010, just in case you cannot make it this Spring
