Bob and the Board,
Would you please review this email for accuracy? Also Bob, I'm not sure if
you were planning on "Games and Prizes for the kids" so please let me know
if that line should be left in or taken out. As the message says, the flyer
that comes in the mail will have driving directions and more details. This
is basically the same email that I used last year with the dates, names, and
location changed.
Also, Meredith had a great idea. When she went to the picnic site to scope
it out, she stopped by Sierra fish and Pets and got her GSAS discount on her
1st cichlids. She checked and they will be open on August 20th. Her idea
was to get a coupon or something so people will stop and say hello to them.
The manager was there when she visited and clearly remembered what they
donated to the auction. I think this would be a good way for us (GSAS) to
"give back" to one of our sponsors. What kind of coupon did you have in
mind, Meredith? Would it be like a "$1.00-off" funded by the club and good
only that day, or what?
Please get back to me ASAP with comments and ideas for the promotion.
Thanks,
Rick

11:00am thru' 3:00pm at Picnic Area 'C' of the Luther Burbank Park located
on the northeast end of Mercer Island. You will receive a brochure in the

picnic was a great success (Thanks Paul and Cheryl!) We'll follow the same
format this year - just at a different location.
The Club will provide.
Hot dogs, Hamburgers, chicken, polish dogs, Bratwursts (the meat,) PLUS
garden-burgers
Condiments: Ketchup, Mustard, etc.
Cups, Plates, Plastic-ware, Napkins
Pop
So, whip up your favorite pot-luck dish and come join us for some summer
fun. Since we didn't have a sign-up sheet at the June meeting, Bob Holmes
(our Picnic Coordinator) has asked me to take care of it on the member list.
We're looking for buns, salads, desserts, condiments, and typical
barbeque-fare. Please post a quick email and let us know what your favorite
you-gotta-try-this dish will be.
* My Family (the Roses) will be bringing Calico Baked Beans again this
year.
Guests are always welcome, so if you have friends or out-of-town guests that
would be interested in aquarium-related conversation, bring them along!
There will also be games and prizes for the kids again this year.
See you there!
Rick
