Just finalized the details on this one! Since it's going to be one of only two Jefferson State Chapter Gatherings this year, we wanted to have it some place special!

Kay's email address is wrong again. You told me it was an "MSN" and not "MAN. People will not be able to contact her unless they already know it. See you at the dam. :D

Thanks, Bruce! Fixed it!
Sure looks like there'll be a bunch of us there! Man, what a weekend we've got planned ... lots of food, friends, road-trip to Crater Lake on Saturday (free park admission that day!), whitewater jetboat ride on Sunday, birthday cakes & celebrations ... Jefferson State so rocks!
See you there!

CHEERS!

As of right now, all available sites have been reserved ... :thumbsup: ... but if you are still thinking of coming out for this one, c'mon in ... we'll make room (we can double up, and each site is more than adequate for that) ...! Looking forward to seeing you there!

CHEERS!

Just wondering, are there any 'planned events?' like a group pot luck dinner? Liz and I will be bringing some food we'd love to share with the group!

Sadly, our puppy will not be joining us, we just decided that it wasn't as much fun for her to ride in the car for hours at a time as it was for us to have her around so she'll be at home wiht grandma (a/k/a my mother.)

Still, we are super-excited to be going! This will be our first Teardrop gathering!

We decided that camping with the Tearjerkers was more fun than going to the coast, so we donated our cabin reservations to a family who otherwise wouldn't have had a chance to go. :thumbsup:
Cindy and I will be there Friday after work. CAN'T WAIT! :beer:

Hi, Martin & Liz!

We usually do a group potluck Friday & Saturday nights, but Kay is known for coming up with other interesting activities, as well! Since Saturday is FREE National Parks Day, we'll probably go out to the Oregon Caves in nearby Cave Junction (Crater Lake is also somewhat close, but to do it justice, you really need more than one day).

Looking forward to meeting you and checking out "Bubbles" ... ;) ...! Be safe, and we'll see you in a couple of days or so!

CHEERS!

And what a potluck it was!!! Plenty of good food and good company. Joanie and I shot a video of what we fixed for the Sat. dinner, Tacos de Lengua (Tongue Tacos), and it will be on youTube sometime soon. Nice weather on Saturday allowed for us to visit and cook with our Tearjerker Friends. Thanks to Co-Directors Kay & Grant for setting up this 15th Anniversary/Birthday Bash. Joanie gives a big thumbs up to the Lemon Birthday Cake. Dean & Joanie
