Notes on Lake Havasu Mini Rally!
Well folks, this is growing to quite a number over what Brian E and I first conjured up! I am sure we will have a blast, but the logistics will be a bit more of a task.
Michelle at the resort has pushed the limits of how many freebies she can do at once (about twice her limit) so if you are not yet on the list, you will need to do the 1/2 price deal through the normal reservation office as was previously laid out. (Still a smokin deal)!
Norm Casson has generously offered to provide the services of an entertainer for the evening, a Mr. Harris if my memory is working correctly. Norm assures us that if you close your eyes you will think you are listening to "The Chairman Of The Board" (Sinatra). So a big thanks to Norm for donating the entertainment.
We will also be holding the usual Charity Auction! If you care to donate items to the auction, please call or email me so I have some idea how much scrounging I need to do as well. You have seen the goodies from the past, ranging from rubber chickens, large bottles of wine/booze, engine service gift certificates, tee shirts, hats, POG goodies etc. Anything you can donate or get someone else to donate will be a big help.
I have already put the arm on Marathon Beaumont, so king's X on Roger, he has already agreed to step up.
The likely recipient will be a local charity, I have made some calls and will firm it up and let everyone know.
I would take a guess at the number of people for dinner on Saturday at somewhere around fifty with POG members and some invited guests.
I am going to smoke up a Top Sirloin on my Weber bbq, can only fit one on there so that will be around 16lbs. Recognizing everyone doesn't just eat beef (beyond me as to why) We could use someone to do chickens. There is a bbq at the clubhouse, but I have never used it and wouldn't know its oddities. There is a grocery store down the road, maybe we could just buy a half dozen roasted chickens or something? Brian E expressed interest in maybe doing something like that. So maybe that will work.
The rest was kind of planned as pot-luck, and I have had some people call me and ask what they can bring...
What I am going to do is just go down the list assign people to a general food category, and you can pick what you are making.
This is not set in stone, its just a guideline and a starting point to get things rolling. If you want to do something else, or want to bring meat of some sort and have a means to cook it, let me know! We will have a blast no matter what as usual.
Drinks: Bring your own!
Crudites, appetizers, chips, dips: Zittrer, Beer, Erion, Davis
Salad & dressing, rolls & butter: Deinhard, Hoffman, Queen, Hoppe
Vegetables: Bennett, Juranek, Tuls
Starchy stuff (taters, rice, beans): Hicks, Clark, Williams
Desert: VanSchoonhoven, John(flyU), Becker, Hoyum
Beef/chicken, BBQ sauce: Holm/Esler
Entertainment: Casson
The clubhouse has a standard kitchen/fridge freezer setup, and a nice counter to set everything else up on so it should be great!
Remember this isn't cast in stone, just a starting point. If you are unwilling/able to bring stuff it won't be then end of the world!
I am sure as usual there will by way too much chow & booze in good POG style. We always have a good time.
More to follow!
PS, anyone wanting to take over ram-rodding this deal, Brian and I have already agreed to let you take it, just let us know
