Green Lake 2015

"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."

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?

Timbob, Jimbob and Mikebob, should we orgamize a GA crew with blat and head up together? I'd be game

What about KimBob???

We are 100% in as well. Waiting for the new boat to show up in the diaries before I register.

Yes Timmy i got it........

Hey Guys.....
Impressive numbers since last week.. Keep the registration going. If you are in but the next guy you know is not, talk him/her up.. Deadline for registering is June 17th !!! By then we have to decide on what we can put together...

Thanks,
Moj'

For me, the GL weekend conflicts with all-important family time (once a year to see niece and nephews) so 2015 isn't going to happen this summer, sadly.

So to those on the fence, I had a great time two years ago and am very sad to be missing the reunion.

I registered last night but could not find my Diary ID number. Does that mean I'm not registered? Pay Pal says I did.......

I fully plan to attend a reunion with the finished (or at least usable) 67SN one of these days, or possibly host a mini down at Dale Hollow. Not in the cards this year as I've already got plans for all my vacation.

Reid,
Are ya coming ????
8 days till the deadline... Come on guys.. I promise 85 degrees, and flat water.....hahaha

Glad your gonna make it Reid !!

Gents, you know I would if I could.

My wife and I are both disappointed that we cannot make it. One of our favorite boating events. But, a conflict goes to our kid, and in this case, it's here biggest meet of the year. She wins.

I hope you get the numbers up. Some of my favorite people, and none of you live within 1500 miles of me.

Its a crap shoot.. He and Brian were thinking about it, but getting a straight answer out of the two of them is near impossible... I bugged them a few times, then gave up lol..
