I wanted to start a new thread about the upcoming weekend.
I want to make sure everyone is up to date on what is going on.
So I'll start the questions. Also see Texas Mikes email from before
(see below).
Figure I would start this and we could clear everything up.
1) Does everyone want to have a pot luck or some group
Meal(s) ? Maybe a pot luck on Saturday? I am not sure how to set it up and I am open for suggestions. I just wanted to bring it up.
2) Shall we hold some kind of memorial for True Texan - Just a suggestion!!
3) Don't forget your gift for the Chinese Auction

TSDT does Memorial Weekend 2.0
Since I have a few new topics to cover for our outting Memorial Weekend at Lake Travis, I wanted to start a new thread...
Dee and I discussed a few things on planning for the weekend and we need to share them with you. They are:
1. Safety & Preparation
2. Door Prizes
3. TSDT T-shirts
4. Food
Safety & Preparation -- I'm in the middle of the academics of my Divemaster Class, so making sure we have a fun and safe time is very much current in my mind. So I want to make sure to remind everyone that has a first aid kit to bring it (never can have too many). And if you don't have one, consider adding one to your gear bag. I'm going to be working on my safety preparedness between now and Memorial day so I will have anything we might need should it all go pants on us. The only thing I don't have is an O2 cylinder. Does anyone that is going have one?? If you do, please PM me.
Door Prizes -- Those of you that came to our Halloween gathering remember the pumpkin hunt where everyone got some cool prizes. I'd like to continue the tradition of everyone getting some neat stuff. And while I do have a few of the pumpkin prizes left over, there's not enough for everyone. So Dee suggested a Chinese Auction with scuba related items costing $5-10. What do you folks think about that?
TSDT T-Shirts -- I still have some of the originals for sale. (I'll need to check my list to see how many of what sizes I have left). I'll have them with me at the event and will consider taking pre-orders in case additional shirts are needed (aka I run out of the size you want). If you have thoughts or questions about the shirts, I'd like to hear them.
Finally, Food -- I think most of us are cool with each of us being responsible for our own vittles. However, Dee and I thought it would be nifty if we have a little bit of community cooking, especially breakfasts. The opening suggestions are basic scambled eggs/sausage/etc. for breakfast and then grilled meats/veggies/finger foods for dinner. Beast has a good sized grill that he plans on bringing, so there will be heat if you decide to burn your own dinner. We'd also like to ask that if the community cooking is desired, that we get some volunteers to help with prep/cooking/cleanup so no one or two folks are stuck "in the kitchen" all weekend. Any additional thoughts from you guys?
((and for those that are coming in from longer distances, such as out of state...don't fret, we'll take good care of you and make sure you don't go hungry. You'll probably be so full you'd rather sleep than dive! We can work out the individual details as needed))
It looks like we are going to have a really good turn out. And I'm really looking forward to meeting all the new faces and making new friends. This event is for you...so your participation is desired and appreciated.
Let's get wet!
