That seems to work fine.

From: "h&jeuropa" Another event where we can meet up is the Homebuilder's dinner. It is Thursday evening. Tickets are available at Homebuilder's HQ. It's non-Europa, but we also plan to go to the Hartzell booth Thursday 2-4 for ice cream with the RAF (Recreational Aviation Foundation). Look for the orange!
