REFLECTOR: Oshkosh plans - final version

[Reiff Lorenz via Reflector]

It's time for Oshkosh!  (If you're not going to AirVenture, see the section for you, below.)

The cookout plan has not changed, so if you already made notes on where to go or what to do, you may safely ignore this message . . . but it would be best to print a copy or save it on your phone and take it with you to Oshkosh, just in case.

We're having the cookout again this year. Wednesday evening, July 30th, at 10th & Elm in Camp Scholler. If you are attending the cookout and are not on the list at the end of this message, please reply to the forums or send me an email to tell me if you're planning on coming. I need to know your full name, and the full names of any family or guests you're bringing.

We'll start setting up at 5:00 on Wednesday; we could use some help if you can arrive this early. We'll officially kick off the event at 6 with drinks and snacks, burgers will be ready at 7. We'll clean up the cookout around 9pm, but everyone is welcome to stay as late as they want to, enjoying the campfire, drinks, and Velocity conversation. Those who want to attend the night airshow will have time to eat before they have to leave, but you'll be able to see much of it from our cookout. Bring a chair if you don't want to eat standing up.

The Factory is generously contributing to the cookout. Their donation will cover about half of the costs. We'll ask everyone attending to pitch in $10 or $15 per person to cover the rest of the expenses. Because everyone has been willing to do this, we can afford the gourmet burgers, deli trays, side dishes, plus a wide selection of drinks, and not have a frozen-burger & BYOB type of cookout.

The Velocity experience at Oshkosh can be more than just one night! There appear to be lots of Velocity people camping at 10th and Elm this year.
1.       Bill Batten (prospective builder from Indiana!)
2.    Jerry & Linda Brainard
3.       Brett & Elizabeth Ferrell
4.       Albert & Bree Khasky
5.       Reiff & Melissa Lorenz
6.       Andy and Theresa Millin
7.       Dave & Kathy Spano

We'll be there most mornings 8am - 9am, so join us for free coffee. We'll be there most evenings, so drop in and hang out. (Bring a chair if you plan on staying for a while.)

Email me if you are planning on camping with us so we can coordinate the logistics. All are welcome!
