The wild rumpus is about to begin and the last minute adjustments are falling into place. As you know, we traditionally kick off the weekend with a Friday night gathering to welcome all the attendees. This year is no exception and we are once again indebted to Kevin & Laura as hosts for the kick-off festiviites;
For those of you who need to update your files, their place is located at:
3616 Burke Ave. N. (in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle)
That’s 36th and Burke.
We’ll commence the party at around 8:30 and hope to carry on until a fairly indecent hour. (If you’re in town and just waiting around for the party give a call.) Please help out by bringing a ration of beer to share and some food as well, if you can. There will be a number of weary travellers present and we’ll need to revive them and make sure they have the sustenance to power themselves through weekend.
If you’re a local member…
–If you have any time free on Friday and have access to a car, there may be a few folks who could use a ride in from the airport.
–Also, there may be a few bodies at the party from out of town who could use a bed for the night (nothing fancy, just a place to crash for a few hours and a lift to St. Ben’s)
–Still some tionol shifts to cover if you are willing and relatively able.
–Send out an e-mail invitation to anyone you know who might be interested in the concert. ( We have to lay out a lot of funds to make this all happen and the Saturday night concert is the big fund-raiser for the weekend. Encourage everyone you know, or think you know, to come!)
Let me know via e-mail or phone if you can help out. Looks like it is shaping up to be a great weekend. Looking forward to seeing all of you in person.
Thanks in advance for helping to make it all happen,
Cheers,
Rod
