Hey Gang!

A few of us were talking about marshmallows, and the next thing you know, we're planning a picnic!

So here's the lowdown:

Since we live ALL OVER THE PLACE, and there's no one state with a heavy concentration of members, we're thinking of having a bi-coastal picnic, with one on the west coast and one here in Michigan. (Ok, so it's not quite the east coast...but close!)

I'd like to get everyone's opinion on this - what do you think?

Labor Day weekend - picnic to be held Saturday or Sunday, 9/1 or 9/2/07. (Most popular date will win.)

One in California and one in Michigan. If enough members would like to attend one somewhere in the middle of the country to make it easier for them to attend, we could have three picnics! We can take pictures and post them, and Goudah suggested setting up a webcam, so we could really have a lot of fun with this.

Time is to be determined.

Location - the location of each picnic will be determined by the picnic host in that state. PM me for details. Location details will not be discussed in the public forums for safety's sake.

In order to make this easy for everyone, I suggest the following:

Each guest brings ONE regular size pack of hotdogs or hamburgers to be cooked on the grill (for everyone to eat), and one 2-liter bottle of pop or large bag of chips or a salad/dessert item. That way, no one person is having to supply everything - it's a community effort - just like our efforts to help others here at DebtCC! Smile

Obviously, if you want to bring more food than shown above, you're welcome to do so! Smile

What do you think? I'm eager to hear everyone's thoughts. I'm hoping by doing this about a month in advance, those who wish to attend will have enough time to plan a trip. I would encourage those of you who live close to each other to consider carpooling together!

I'm looking forward to this, and hope we can pull it off...maybe even make it an annual event! Very Happy

Where in California? I'll be in southern Oregon that weekend.

Any specific locations should all be communicated through PM's, for safety concerns.

Good point, thank you Anthony. Please address any location concerns via PM.

I've also edited my original post.

The official host/hostess for the California picnic is yet to be determined...I'll post that info when it's available.

Those interested in attending the Michigan picnic can pm me for details.

Ok guys - a little update:

- We need someone to head up the picnic in California. I don't know how many members we have out there, but I know there's a few. Can someone please volunteer to set it up at a local park where you can have a picnic, kids can play, etc? PM me if you're interested in setting this up - it won't take much work, just finding a place to have it and keeping in touch with your local attendees! Smile

This doesn't have to be a huge event - it's our first one, so even if just a few of us get together, it will be a fun outing!

Ok,
Since we're huge over here in the great Golden State of CA--and we have members in the Northern and Southern part of our state, my suggestion is to have the picnic in Central CA. I am thinking either Bakersfield or Fresno, possibly????? Only drawback is potential HEAT!!!!!! Evil or Very Mad

This way, everyone would drive/fly an equal distance and these cities are also Amtrak accessible. What does everyone think--and do we have any members from those cities who know of locations? And let's do this by PM. Also, who would come?

thank you KS!!!! Very Happy

I have a location picked for the Michigan picnic - please PM me if you would like to attend and we'll discuss the details! Smile
