REFLECTOR: Annual Velocity Cookout

[Reiff Lorenz]

Mark,



No problem and thanks for helping with this. I agree that the cookout is a "must have" tradition . . . but I've never been to one! I'm in 100% and willing to do whatever, including organize it. I just didn't want to step on the toes of the more experienced attendees if someone else was already doing something.



. . .



Everyone:



I'm getting lots of messages of support on 2 different forums, so I'll try to consolidate. Here's what we have so far:



Volunteers

Reiff & Melissa Lorenz (Camping at 10th & Elm, will have a car, can make food run, setup)

Mark & Nancy Riley (Can help with setup, cooking, etc. Compiling attendance list.)

Albert Khasky (Will bring tables, chairs, and some food items. Not on any forums.)

Rene Dugas (Can help with setup, cooking, etc.)

Jerry & Linda Brainard (Will have car; can do food pickup. Can help with setup, cooking, etc.)

Velocity Factory (Will help reduce costs. Thanks Duane!)





Location Votes

1      Suggestion that we all attend the Canard Aviators dinner on Wednesday night instead of a Velocity-only event. (Eliminates cooking/cleaning hassle and supports a good cause.)

15    (approx..) In favor of Wednesday at 10th & Elm. (I'm counting the existing RSVPs as a vote for status quo.)

384  Abstentions.



Mark is right that there isn't much time before Oshkosh, so unless we have an outpouring of support for another time/place, we'll stick with Wednesday at 10th & Elm.



I will set up a forum for the volunteers to plan and coordinate. I'll also keep Albert Khasky in the loop by telephone.



Thanks, everyone, for pitching in and helping to make this happen!

Everyone,



Mark Riley and I have started looking into options for the cookout. It is more complicated this year because lots of the folks that have previously spearheaded the cookout (Andy, Brett, Mark) have completed their planes. Some of them are flying in this year (what we builders all dream of!) so will have limited ability to shop, grill, and bring stuff.





If we're going to have a cookout this year we need to quickly determine



1. Can we come to a consensus on having the cookout at the usual time/place: Wednesday at 10th and Elm? I'm renting a trailer at that location and will have sun shades. I welcome any other Velocity owners/builders to camp nearby. (Reply to the forum with your approval of the cookout location or a better option THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO ARRANGE.)



2. Who is willing to help? If you're willing to show up an hour early to help set up, willing to serve as grillmaster for an hour, or can make a shopping trip on Wednesday afternoon, please send me a message (reply to this forum or email Reiff at Lorenz.com).



Once we have determined when and where, I'll get an event sign-up list going.



Thank you all for your input!
