Greetings all! I have created this thread to provide everyone with the general info concerning our April meeting, and also would like to use this as a sign-up sheet for supplies, munchies, and beverages, along with anything else you can think of.
To begin, this meeting, as stated in the itinerary, will be held at Heath Farquhar's house on Saturday, April 22nd. We would like to aim for a 1 o'clock start, with festivities lasting until everyone is ready to pack up and go -OR- Heath kicks us out.
We are planning on having a cookout like we did at the conclusion of last summer. We will set up the king canopy in the back yard again, and Pat should be able to borrow some tables from Cedarbrook for us to use.
One important thing that we are going to try with this meeting is to draw in as many people as we can. I REALLY want a good attendance for this meetup, not just to kick the season off to a good start, but also just to get everyone together, since our goal as a club is to gather all enthusiasts in an atmosphere such as this meetup. It'd be great to see what everyone has been up to and such as well, and maybe even meet some new faces. What I plan on doing is giving away a one-year SDAC National membership courtesy of the National club. Those in attendance are eligible for this. Whether it would go towards a brand new membership to the club, or if it were to renew your current membership, either way is perfectly fine.
ALSO: Out of my own pocket, I am willing in a ONE TIME ONLY deal for this season to give away a FREE SWPA-SDAC membership, in which case you would receive a club T as well as a decal. Shortly after, you'll receive a email with a club certificate enclosed for your convenience.
HOWEVER, THERE IS A CATCH!!! I will follow through with this IF we can get more than 22 people to attend. That was the highest attendance rating we had over the last year, and I think that if we can get that many people out for the first event, then that will be a success that's worthy enough to offer a free SWPA membership. If this works out, perhaps we will issue future challenges like this and offer incentives for your efforts.
I will have shirts and decals on hand for a. those who don't win this particular drawing but still wish to join the club or b. the drawing doesn't take place at all due to lack of attendance; but those who are there and have not joined yet can purchase a membership at that time.
We started out with a high-demand and willingness from everyone to pitch in and get t-shirts and such, but that has failed to follow through. We over a dozen t-shirts still available, and plenty of decals. These are only offered with a membership though, and are not sold separately. So, let's get some membership fees turned in to reimburse the club fund for the costs to create these great items!
On that note, allow me to draw your attention to the poll above. Names of those who vote can be seen so we know who is bringing what. If you'd like to bring an item, please check the checkbox(es). If you have further suggestions, please put up a post.
Any further questions, please get ahold of me.
Thanks, and I hope to see all of you there!
