[W126 Coupe] April Coupefest details

[Satish Tummala]

Sunday would be nice for the local chapter as well Greg.  Let's take a local 
poll.  We're up to 44 people now.  Also, the Sheraton Hotel in Novi (off of 
I-275 and 8 mile road) has a discounted rate for out of towners at 
$129/night.  Just mention the "Mercedes Convention" and they'll accommodate.
