Hello all,
Many of you may have heard that Brian is unable to plan the annual meet this year. Since Tim and I live in Red Wing and I have quite a bit of event planning experience, we have volunteered to take the lead for this year. I am working with Brian to get some more information and wrap my head around the whole thing, but I am hoping to have details posted by the end of this week for everyone. Please speak up if you think there is something important I'm forgetting!! I'm new to this whole thing... so I'm bound to miss something along the way. And yes.... this definitely means I'm eligible for the Girlfriend of the Year Award. ;)
More soon....
Maggie

I made contact with Bob and Margi today. They are currently preparing to close for a few days as they are expecting to flood as the water level continues to rise. Once they are back and dry out a little bit I will go over there to meet with them and iron out all of the details. Good news is that they have the dates on their calendar and have already reserved the sites and slips.
Question... has anyone already registered and submitted payment for the meet?
-
Seems like if they did they would have sent that to Brian so he would be the guy to ask.
-
Can anyone other than Brian update this site? I know I can't.......Or at least i don't think i can.

Guys - I whacked a bunch off this thread. Let's keep this clear for Maggie to communicate meet info.
Thanks guys!
-
Looking for a volunteer to take care of t-shirts for the meet!! ;D
-
Never mind. Chris K. is taking care of t-shirt. Check!
-
Yes Maggie thank you for stepping up. We will all help in anyway we can. Once the big things get ironed out, we can move onto the incidentals.
-
Yes kudos to Maggie for take on this adventure and help is here also.
I know that one thing would help her out. Start registering as soon as possible and not waiting until the week before that way she would have a good head count for tents, motorhomes and boat slips.
Thanks again
-
Happy to help out!
Registering early would be helpful. :) Also, please make sure you follow the registration instructions that are posted in the forum and not on the CGOAMN main site-- I haven't been able to get that updated with the new information.
Tim is going to be in charge of assigning slips... so if you have any questions or concerns about that you can bug him.

Hi Maggie,
Just a quick question. Since the rate structure is different this year, is there a different rate for children? The campground charges half for ages 6 - 18 according to their website and under 6 are free. Thanks!
Jim

I kept the pricing that Brian had already arranged for this year. He did not have a seperate rate for children. I haven't been able to go talk to Bob and Margi yet, since they have been dealing with flooding at the campground. I'm hoping to meet up with them sometime next week. For now, I'd say hold off on registering until I get a chance to talk to them about the rate for kids. Thanks for bringing this up!
-
Do you have an idea of what camp sites we will be at, will we all be together ?
just curious.
-
We will all be camping together in the same area. Don't worry it is a big area.
-
I am curious about the rate structure, with it being different than in the past (per person)
Is that what you got from Bob and Margie or are these their normal rates (from their web site) because they usually cut us a deal over their regular rates.
-
We kept the pricing structure that Brian had already set-up for the year. From my understanding, the rate changed to per person based on feedback from Bob and Margi. They do cut us a very gernerous deal, but there is a small upcharge on the price to help pay for food, the website, and other administrative costs.
I do want people to know that Tim and I are absolutely not making any money by organizing the meet. Any money "left over" once everything is paid for will stay to support club activites.
-
Sweet free boat gas for everyone LOL
-
" Sweet free boat gas for everyone LOL "
Unlimited fill ups at the gas dock ... YAHOO !
We should have put you in charge years ago ...
... LOL

Maggie I hope you didn't take it like I thought you were jacking up the prices so you and Tim could go to Tahiti or something. I was just curious. I suppose it makes more sense from their standpoint with the extra water, electricity and mess with each person although we do a pretty dang good job of cleaning up. I've hung around until the bitter end most of the time and it doesn't look like we were there....except for flattened grass and piles O garbage.
Speaking of such things I have suggested this in the past...should we make some kind of list of who is bringing what? So we can hold them accountable. :D
Example, firewood? We wouldn't want to end up with 10 cords there, not that it's ever happened before. :D I've brought some in the past as well as Shawn and Jim but I no longer have room with out bringing my truck. Guess we don't need a list as long as people step up with whatever. Maybe another thread but I know we have some plastic plates and silverware left over from a party we had last summer but probably not enough. Need a good head count for that too.
I volunteer Tim for bringing the hard liquor. ;D
Also I'd like to whip up a spreadsheet with peoples names that are going to tow us around in my non running V175. or at least after it dies, likely in front of a barge. J/K Its coming with whether it sits in the trailer or is running, I think.
-
We should start a thread with what is needed and who wants to bring it ...
Jack Daniels ... Tim Cichosz
-
I agree on a separate thread for who brings what. I'm sure Tim is up for supplying all of the hard liquor, beer, and maybe even some ear plugs for those who are bothered by the train noise!!
-
And no offense taken Ross! I've just been involved with events before where people have gotten weird about money, so I just like to be upfront about the issue from the start. :)
