[…] 5811Royale8s WANTED : The REO Echo needs YOU to send photos you take at the St. Jacobs, Ontario Meet! Send to: mdmoody1@msn.com or  9641 Rich Valley Blvd,  Inver Grove Heights, MN 55077 It just does not seem possible that in a couple of weeks we  will be meeting in St Jacobs, Ontario CANADA for our Reo  Club of America Annual Meet. It seems like yesterday when we  were in Appleton. Virginia and I have made all of the  plans to  fly to Toronto this year instead of driving our bus and bringing  a REO. It will be very different for us since I cannot remember  not bringing a REO to the Meet. It just did not work out this  year with our other commitments. We are hoping that someone  will feel pity on us and ‘adopt’ us to ride in their REO on the  tours. If you have not done so, there is still time to make  arrangements to come to the Reo Club Annual Meet in St Jacobs,  Ontario CANADA 11-14 July 2022! I know that Ron and Marg  Martin and their team have planned a Meet that will be talked  about for years. Ron doesn’t do anything halfway, and with his  keen interest in Reo Trucks (fostered by his Grandfather) I am  expecting to see a lot of trucks! I am also hoping to see a lot  of Reo cars that we haven’t seen in years ……like the beautiful  George Black Royale now owned by George’s grandson Dave.  But best of all come and see your old and new Reo friends. The process to enter Canada has gotten easier and easier as  time goes by. If you have your current passport, proof of at least  two Covid vaccines and register on the ‘Arrive Can’ website,  you are good to go. We seem to be holding our own…. somewhat… with the  Club’s membership level. Last year at this time, we had 701  members which was up slightly from the previous year. We  currently have 661 members, down 40 members from last  year. This decrease is in spite of a Director Call Program and  […]
