T-shirts and caps will be available for purchase but we are asking that you request a t-shirt by Mid June so that we know about how many to order.  You will pay for them at the reunion.  You will not be assured of getting a t-shirt if it has not been requested.

A limited number of campsites with electricity and water are available.  There are numerous options for dry camping.  No sewer facilities are available for campers.  Those wishing to use a campsite should let us know prior to the event.

Your comments and suggestions would be appreciated.  There is still much to be done.

Our next meeting is November 5th-our fall clean-up day.  Email your comments and suggestions and I will relay them to the planners.
