[AJD] What's everyone's current project?

[kwreese at aol.com]

My current project is working on the 2010 "Gathering of the Green"  
conference. - all day, every day.
 
Before the "Gathering" began to "take over my life," I was restoring a 1939 
 Model B.
 
In August, I completed painting all of the green parts (individually)  --  
excepting cap screws, nuts and misc. parts.  The next step is  shooting 
yellow.  At this point, this will not take place until after the  "Gathering" 
which will be held in Davenport, IA on March 17-20, 2001.  When  the yellow 
parts are done, I will start the assembly.
 
 
If you haven't attended the "Gathering," I would hope you would consider  
doing so.  There are lots of JD enthusiasts out there who haven't attended  
in the past and would find benefit and thoroughly enjoy this conference for 
John  Deere admirerers.
 
Please take a look at our web site at _www.gatheringofthegreen.com_

If you received a registration packet, I encourage you to complete the form 
 and return it as soon as you can.  If you would like to receive  
registration materials, send me an e-mail or call and I'll get a packet into the  
mail today.
 
At this point the host hotel is sold out (215 rooms) and the second hotel  
has 175 rooms booked.  We will soon fill the second hotel and then will  
refer people to a third facility.  The 2010 Gathering will be held in the  
RiverCenter in Davenport, a spacious, well-lighted and modern convention  
center.  There will be lots of room for vendors, excellent rooms for  workshops, 
and a separate dining room.  All-in-all, the River Center will  be a nice 
improvement from our previous location.
 
To date, we have 50 workshops in place, 3 evening speakers, a fun auction,  
10 trips and tour, tours of John Deere factories in the Quad Cities, 
vendors  from across the USA, an opening night reception and an ending banquet 
with a  keynote speaker.
