While its fresh in my mind...
First of all, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came! We had a terrific turn out! You make this website, this club and this meet the great event that is has become! Bob and Margi had nothing but great things to say about our group again, and the campers look forward to us every year!
Second, I have to Thank our volunteers:
Gregg (aka...co-organizer & the bank) - Thanks for all the help on the bank side of things and all the work you did making coffee, helping at the tent, and all the work you did helping to make another great meet happen!
- Terry & Nancy for manning the tent Saturday morning!
- Jim Barrett for helping out with the safety briefing and "Jim's Towing Service" for our one boat with issues.
- Shawn for providing his bucket of "goodies" & the awesome can koozies!
- And VANCE!!! Thanks for all that you do for the club with your videos!!! (Thanks Terry C, I knew I forgot someone!)
- Last but not least, Laurie (Mrs. TheDeuceman) for her awesome work on the commerative sticker (and to Red for footing the bill so they could free for everyone).
- If I've forgotten someone, please forgive me! It was a busy few days!!!
For 2015:
1) We're going to add in the Friday AM run through the lock & dam to the sand cove by Treasure Island. Hangout, grill, swim, etc.
2) I'm going to work on driving us more towards a set schedule so that folks can depend on launch times...I heard some frustration
3) The meal. I pinged most folks about my idea for its reincarnation in a different form, and I'll be working on that over the winter.
4) Space! Yes, Tent City was crowded...I've already discussed that with Margi, and we can absolutely reserve the new RV stalls (that used to be grass) for more elbow room. Unfortunately, its that, or we cap the lawn space and move some folks out to the entrance road...which I'm not in favor of...however, that could be the 'quiet' area for those that want it or need it.
I'll post the budget in a few days.
Sound off below, what else?
