Green Lake 2015

Paul, you updated your Classic diary with pics of your '71... Its diary ID 500. Not sure why you did that instead of creating a new one for the promo- computer challenged maybe?

I'm in.

"Thank you to all who have signed up for an Official Mid West CCF Reunion
2015. We have 14 boats and 34 folks who committed to the event.
We know of many more who intend on committing but have yet to do so.

So here is where we sit down and have a big-boy talk. In the past, Correct
Craft supported the event by authorizing vintage Nautique T-Shirt
reproduction sales that offset nearly 1/3 of the cost of the reunion. It
was effective and a reliable fund raiser because the shirts were great on
their own, and helping finance past reunions was a good side benefit.
However, that promotion did not materialize this year so we can no longer
count on that revenue to subsidize the event.

To have all the great features of a official event like awards, raffles,
beer, pig roasts, burgers and dogs and tents during the event, we would
need healthy T-Shirt sales and commitments from 40 boats totalling 130
people to offset the costs. Without T-Shirt sales, we need closer to 60
boats and 180 people. We are very far off the pace to hit those numbers.

Deposits on items like Park rental, Legion hall rental, 50% deposit for
the caterer, etc, become non-refundable on June 17th (about 3 weeks before
the event). If we don't have the commitments from the community to
financially support the reunion, we will either down-scale the event or
return all the money and it becomes a unofficial mini-reunion where
everybody is on their own. Still a lot of great boats and folks, Goose
Blind nonsense and campfire conversations for the mini, but we will lack
the nice features like pig roasts under the tent, awards, and of course
kegs of beer.

Please don't interpret this grown-up reality check to mean we've lost our
enthusiasm for the event. We haven't by any measure but without sponsors
(Which we haven't had in years) and without fund raising(Shirt
Sales) the full expense falls on attendance and registrations.

This is our last reminder of how the community makes and enables the
largest Correct Craft and Nautique gathering on the planet a reality.
So, If you are attending, We need you to sign up now Please.
Your action or inaction determines the decision we'll have to make in just
a few weeks from now.

Thank you

Dave, Alan and Steve."

Who does everyone want to see at Green Lake?

Calling (out) DavidG. No boat is no excuse!

Dave
HOPE NOT, but you may have to make a cutoff date.
Guys, do Dave and crew a favor and register if you are going to appear. We all know these events take a lot of time and effort to plan. They do not happen over nite.

There will be plenty of others, and plenty of experienced footers willing to teach. Just have to get out early for good water. Here's from a few years ago. Overmyhead's son Austin on the boom learning for the first time. Overmyhead filming, Joel (m3fan) instructing, and myself driving the 97 SNOB Austin Green Lake BF 1st attempt Rob

Well, looks like I'll be learning to barefoot .

Woah..... that's a lot of boats. The most amount of in boards that I've been around was 3-4. Also, who has a boom? Barefooting is a must to learn for me. I'm gonna try to learn before but if not, I want to leave green lake knowing I did it.

That's great news! You guys won't be disappointed. Like others have said, the registration is always slow to get going. I haven't registered yet because I recently sold my SNOB and am currently boatless. That should change this weekend though, as I have a road trip planned to pick up a different one. As soon as I get it home, we'll be registering for four people and a boat. I've only missed one so far, and it was "unofficial".   You won't regret it!!

He said next year we can go up with my 2 uncles since they bought our 1969 ski nautique off of us and that it will be ready next year. If my uncles have it ready before green lake, I'm fighting for us to go. I told him instead of me having a graduation party, I can save us money and me and him go to green lake. I'm not giving up without a fight.

Keep Fighting!. If you could only see the number of rooms and camp sites reserved by CCFans right now, that number is far above the registration for the event. It always happens this way. I reserved my camp awhile back. To help you with your dad I just jumped off the fence and paid my registration fee adding 1 boat and two attendees. I challenge more of the lurkers out there to do the same. Big registration numbers generate more registrations. Lets make this huge!! Is it July yet??? I can't wait.

Also, next year is an off year as an official event so numbers will likely be small. THIS IS THE YEAR TO GO!!!!!!

Looks like there could be a lower turnout for some reason. People can not be so busy as not to sign up!!

OK, lets get your butts in gear already. We have only 2 months till GL 15'. In order for us to plan and budget for the reunion fanfair, we need to know how many people to plan for and to collect from....
Please do us a HUGE favor and Get Registered, so we don't have heart attacks come 4th of July........
Thanks Much,

Moj'

Not yet Steve but we do have a room at the Lakeview. Most likely bring the 95.

Just got off the phone with the Lakeside Motel, they still have rooms if anyone is looking.

Reserved campsite #23.
