Unlike previous events, we will have plenty of space for them to set up a booth, give seminars, product demo, website advertising, T-shirt advertising, and hang out with us rotorheads:)

10/15/2007 - Last weekend, I took the weekend and drove up to NC/TN area to scope out our potential site for next years DGRR. Me and Stephen drove all around and we found a place called, Nanatahala Village(www.nvnc.com). Place was super nice and people who ran the place were very helpful! Its approximately 45 min drive to the US129/Deals Gap but it was a very pleasant drive.
As of now, I'm very much leaning to call Nanatahala Village as our NEW home!!!
**UPDATE** Just in case, I checked on another location (Tally Ho Inn in Townsend). Pricewise, its cheaper but more like a motel/Inn. They do have parking for 300 cars but its GRASS parking (if it rains, its going to be a mess!). Distance wise, its about the same (35-40 mins vs 40-45 mins). Another problem is that they do NOT have big enough conference room for 300 people (also booked out for our weekend).

Next, about this website... This site is now fully functioning!! Yeah! Goto the forum and start chatting with fellow DGRR runners. Next year will surely be the best event EVER!! And pending how it turns out, we will make this event a Bi yearly event!!! And one day the biggest rotary event in USA.. Ok.. I'm getting over my head now. LOL!

9/18/2007 - New Lodging location is being considered.... I been awaiting for Fontana Village to get in contact with me for locking down dates and meals. Unfortunately, their unprofessional attitude lead me to look for another location. New location will be announced VERY soon.

8/24/2007 - Registration for DGRR 08 will announced soon... Few things will change next year. Instead of all of us meeting at the dam, next year, we'll all meet at a banquet/convention room. There we could have vendor shows, seminars, etc. Also, all the meals will take place here instead of driving 30 mins and waiting 1.5 hour for a sandwich. Hope the new idea will help save time and money for all of you.

6/1/2007 - DGRR article will be published in MazdaSport Magazine!

5/1/2007 - DGRR 2007 was a success! This year, we broke all record by having over 136 Rotary vehicles and over 200 attendees!

3/15/07 - New Shirt sale info.. limited shirts available...

1/24/07 - Mark White passed away this Sunday 1/21/07 after a long bout with ALS aka Lou Gehrig's Disease. Our prayers are with his family and this years DGRR will be in memory of Mark White. Please take a minute and learn more about Mark in this post: Here
