Calling St. Louis members

I will be visitin family in St. Louis the weekend of July 9 (Brentwood area) and would like to meet up with any of the local builders to see what they have done with their vehicles. Anyone nearby who might be interested in showing off their pride and joy?

Thanks,
Peter

I live about a mile from Leo (in South County). Just started my mk4 a couple months ago, but you're welcome to check mine out if I'm home. I'm heading out of the country for business, but don't know when I'm leaving yet. I'll let you know when my schedule firms up.

Follow-up to St. Louis member requests

Is there any official F5 meet on the weekend of July 9, 10 or should I just try to meet with individual members at mutually convenient time(s). I personally think the Shafley dark ale is a fine beverage, but am open to suggestions as to what I should bring. Looking forward to meeting some of you.

Thanks,
Peter

We have our club meeting on July 12, but I'm sure we could arrange a club cruise to meet up with you somewhere
