September Meeting

Monday, Sept. 11 at the MercerWood Shore Club. (E. Mercer Way & Shore Club Drive)

Hosted by the Luce Family. We’ll be roasting Smores. Bring the family; it’s our beginning of the year kick-off meeting.

I’ll have the fire going down at the beach around 6:30 pm and will supply all of the necessary Smore fixins. If you can think of something else you’d like to roast on the fire, bring it! Please respond back and let me know if you’re coming and how many.

Date: Labor Day, Sept. 4
Time: 5pm until we run out of water or energy
Location: Dragon Park (Deanes Children’s Park), adjacent to Island ParkElementary
What to bring: We brought a cooler which we filled half way and thentransported in the glass recycling bin to catch spillage. That seemed towork. We brought about three gallons of water more in jugs and dumped themin the cooler when we arrived. That was enough for 4 of us for about 1.5hours.

You’ll want a towel too. Bring all the squirt guns you’ve got.

It’s tough to figure out in advance(at least it was for us) which ones were going to work at all and work best. And there seems to be plenty of demand for swapping/lending them around.

Rules: No squirting anywhere near other park users. Probably kids vs. dads will work best. Dads get the lousier guns. Time out for refilling orinjury must be respected. That was the end of the list for us.
