Driving Directions: Take exit 110 off highway I 96. Proceed north through 2 stoplights, turn
right at the third light on Kinawa Drive. The school is on your left.

We have reserved a block of rooms for families at the Fairfield Inn on the east side of
Okemos Road near I96, Exit 110. Call 517-347-1000 and ask for a room which is currently in
the name of Paul Rebeck. The group name is Okemos Suzuki Workshop. We have reserved 7
rooms. The Western Michigan vs. MSU football game is on Saturday this year; which means
motel rooms may be scarce, so if you are planning to come on Friday, you would want to
consider making plans early.
