Ramblers, Let's Get Ramblin'
Monday, January 18, 2010 at 8:49PM Alright Ladies-
It’s time to pack up and head out. We’re meeting for what seems to be our second annual Leadership Retreat in Pine Mountain, Georgia, at FDR State Park. I don’t have the skinny on the location of the huts just now, but I’m sure Bren. or Peg will be happy to email that out. So far the plan seems to be show up when you can on Friday and plan to stay until Sunday lunchish.
In order to make things a bit LESS painful this year for all of us, we’ve come up with a menu and a shopping list. I spoke to Peg and Irm at the State Director’s Meeting last Saturday, and Laura, Keisha, and I have been chatting today, so I hope that we have a representative view of the food we’ll all want. If there is something on this list that you wouldn’t eat in 100000 years (ah, hummus?), then bring your favorite to take it’s place that day/time. Knowing what’s planned in advance can help us plan to make it gastro-happy for everyone!

o Mousetraps??? [Just a joke :o) Although, Keisha thinks we might should bring some, so I’ll pick up a set]
Everything in green is already spoken for, so that leaves the black text in those lists that need to be accounted for.
If there’s something up there that you think we need, feel free to bring it yourself. If your name isn’t by anything, sign up and bring it. To sign up for a thing, email me or comment here so that we don’t all wind up bringing wine and mousetraps.
Also, save your receipts, and you’ll be reimbursed for your purchase (except for the wine).
Thanks and I’ll see you all next weekend!
Lacey
