**************************UPDATE****************************

Ok guys and gals – here’s where we currently stand with attendees.   I’m SO very excited!!... This is going to be an awesome group!     

 

The decision on the date is going to be JUNE 14^th 2008.    This works for the majority of the people and as whitespots kindly pointed out – June 7^th is National Trails Day -  so some State Parks (in NH at least) will be doing different projects.

 

 

The Location: (slightly tentative) is going to be RUTLAND STATE PARK – it has a swimming area, picnic area, and covered areas.   I’m still reviewing cost and such with my contacts.

 

 

I do want to say – those who can’t attend due to it being June 14^th, I’m very very sorry and hopefully the next one will be on a great date for you!

 

 

What I need from you... please, pretty please. 

 

Ideas or volunteers to organize some kids and adult activities?  If there’s electricity does someone have a good portable stereo/cd player?

 

 

Those who didn’t write down a food – please refer to what is here and submit an idea as soon as you can so we can have an even better idea of what in all we have.  J
