I'm sure by now that everyone is aware of Shirley Wege's health concerns. The good news is that she's on the mend; the bad news is that she and Junior won't be able to organize the fall rendezvous this year.
The ride coordinators decided (and it seems everyone agrees with us...) that we shouldn't let this event fall by the wayside. Shirley and Junior are a tough act to follow, but we'll still have our modest version of the fall gathering this year.
The Fall Rendezvous will take place on Tuesday, September 12 and Wednesday, September 13 at the Hub, just south of Harrison, Arkansas. (Technically it's in Marble Falls, I believe.) Rooms for one or two people are $55 plus tax per night. You can make your reservations any time now, by calling Debbie at (870) 743-4062.
For those who arrive Monday evening, we can have pizza delivered to The Hub.
Scooter's Restaurant (at The Hub) will be open for breakfast at 6:30 on Tuesday
Tuesday is riding wherever and with whoever you wish.
Scooters will be open for dinner Tuesday evening, followed by a bonfire if we wish.
Scooter's will open for breakfast at 6:30 on Wednesday.
More riding, on your own or in small groups during the day.
We'll have a banquet in the big meeting room adjacent to Scooters Wednesday evening.
Scooter's will be open for breakfast at 6:30 on Thursday, before we head home.
Here's a link to The Hub's web page. It's probably the best place in Arkansas to ride from: plenty of good roads in every direction, they cater to motorcyclists, and the folks are great. If you've been to the Fall Rendezvous before, you know; if not, you really ought to come this year.

A brief update:
Roger Shores spoke to Debbie and found out that they'll be opening Scooters on Monday night. So, instead of pizza delivery, most of us will be having Randy's steaks (pretty good stuff) instead. There are lighter options for those who aren't into large quantities of red meat.

Re: 2017 FALL ROMEO Rendezvous: September 12 & 13
I spoke with Debby, at the Hub, this morning. They still have some rooms available for our fall rendezvous. (The phone number is 1-870-743-4062.) I think that most of us are arriving on Monday, Sept. 11 and leaving Thursday, Sept. 14. The restaurant will be open for dinner on Monday and Tuesday, with a group dinner on Wednesday. They'll be open for breakfast on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. If you haven't been, you've missed a great get-together and some excellent riding. If you've been, you probably already have plans to attend.

Roger Smith, I want you to know we all appreciate you running with this. It would be a shame to let it go by the wayside. This is only Bills and my 3rd trip but hope to make many more of them. Harry, glad you mentioned it to Roger.... See y'all at The Hub.

Thanks; just don't expect the caliber of event that Junior and Shirley always put together. We'll just have a bunch of friends, good food, and some great roads to ride; still about all one could ask for...
