Note from our leader, Tommy Baccaro:

 

THE 45th ANNUAL TEXAS PACKARD MEET


The 45th annual Texas Packard Meet will be held once again in the historic village of Salado, Texas. Salado is in the Texas "Hill Country" in the heart of  Bluebonnet territory The dates for the 45th annual meet will be April 4-7, 2024. Once again the Holiday Inn Express will be the headquarters hotel.


We have recently concluded negotiations with the hotel and the Texas Packard Meet reservation block is now available. As in the past, YOU MUST CALL THE HOTEL DIRECT AT 254 947 4004 to get the special rate.  The hotel had some proposals as to rates that amounted to a significant raise .  We countered with a $10 raise which they accepted but they added the rates for Thursday through Saturday night would be the same. Previously Thursday nights were cheaper. We also got them to agree that the block would be available for as late as 3 weeks before the meet as opposed to the previous 30 day deadline.  In addition, the hotel agreed to a 72 hour cancellati9n policy without penalty. This is a significant change from the previous contract as some late cancellations were forced to find someone to take their room or pay for all 3 nights.  The hotel will charge for one night if it is cancelled in less than the 76 hrs.  Exceptions might be made on an individual basis due to health or other crisis.


Please make your reservations now so we can get rooms added to the block. They add 20 rooms at a time.  Because of the previous policy, some waited to the last minute when they were sure and then rooms were very limited and not at the group price.


See you April 4-7 , 2024 in Salado.  Happy Packarding!  Tommy Baccaro TPM chairperson 2024.
