Event Notification -- David Thompson Highway Cruise -- DATE MAY CHANGE!!!

After working out event details with Martin S. -- our Events Director, and leader of this drive -- last week, and publishing said details in the early distribution October issue of the Miata Musings (hitting the mail tomorrow for hopefull delivery on Wednesday for Edmonton members) there may be a date change.

Listed for Saturday, September 18, the new date may be one week earlier, ie: this coming Saturday, September 11.
