RE: 2nd Annual Early Arrival Cookout and Gathering - Official Announcement

Attention all participants,

After long and often intense debate that lasted well into the wee hours of the night, the Official(ish) Welcoming Committee has finalized the preliminary final plans for the 2nd Annual Early Arrival Cookout and Gathering. In attendance were the Moj' (Dave), 81Nautique (Magicman, Alan), and RainDog (Steve) and our trusted advisors (Carrie, Dana and De, respectively).

Upon adjournment, the following has been concluded and recorded in the committee minutes:

Board of Directors called to order 6:34 PM.

1.      Yes, there should be a Thursday Night party (by unanimous vote).
2.      The logical date for said party would be on July 16th.
3.      The location will be in Deacon Mills Park in Downtown Green Lake, for which the ayes presented the following arguments:

        a.      The park is right across the street from the Lakeside Hotel, next to the Green Lake Marina and launch
        b.      It is walking distance from the campground, Bay View hotel and most importantly, the Goose
        c.      It is a lake front park with public dock space for 6-8 boats
        d.      Restroom facilities
        e.      The City of Green Lake actually approved our request!
        f.      The nays were removed from committee and their comments were not recorded.

4.      Starting time will be around 6:00 pm
5.      The following menu was proposed and approved:

        a.      Marinated pork tenderloins
        b.      Roasted corn on the cob
        c.      Assorted side salads
        d.      Beer, soda and water will be provided
        e.      Dessert (TBD)

6.      It was suggested that participants bring folding chairs or picnic blankets for their own comfort. This has been ratified and elevated to be our official position.
7.      A suggestion from the floor raised a question regarding weather. RainDog responded that inclement weather is patently impossible. Therefore, it was agreed it was to be a rain or shine event. A tent will be provided. (...but not needed was stricken from the record by a majority vote, RainDog dissented then beaten by Sargent-At-Arms)
8.      The Treasurer questioned the business case of said event. After rigorous debate, it was concluded that the true value of the event was to extend, what is considered by many, the pinnacle of their summer activities. From that notion, it was declared that this is to be a complementary service, executed by the Corps of Volunteers (an ad-hoc subset of the Official(ish) Welcoming Committee)
9.      Lastly, it was agreed upon that an accurate head count of participants would help the Planning and Operations sub-committee make this an enjoyable event for all. For all potential attendees and their guests, please sound off below in this same forum.

Meeting adjourned at 2:23 AM.

Respectfully submitted and officially recorded,

S.R. Evans

Treasury/Secretary

Roger and Cathie will be there...

I'm there dudes....along with my daughter,Mike and Andy.(Band members)

Sounds like fun!

Wendy and I . Cant wait till the festivitys begin. Is there a place for a fire at the park ?

Speaking of fires, is that something people like to do at the campground? Is wood easy to come by? Shall we bring our own?   I've got plenty of wood that I can bring, as long as I have room.

Thanks for telling me that. I'd hate to have the Mustang confiscated because I had her filled to the gunwhales with firewood.

Everyone conributing to the cookout sure makes it easier and quite a smorgusbord. It made the St John's River cookout a smashing success. Also, took the stress and EXPENSE off one or a few.

Karen and Billy,

We talked about this saturday night and decided that we really want people to just come and enjoy under no obligation to contribute. Many as well as yourselves are traveling great distances over several days and it's just too hard on everyone. This is truly a hosted event by our 3 families for all to just come and enjoy....now we won't turn anything away but there are no expectations for anyone to bring anything but their smiling faces and appetites.

Besides you all took great care of us down in Florida past February so it's our turn. That's what it's all about.

Mary Frances and I will be there. How about a "Tip" jar to offset expenses?
