TFL End of Summer Meet!!! (Repost) - Page 3

jcoyoung · April 10, 2000, 12:25 AM

Whoo Hoo! Started page 2.

Ok, ok, ok! You've talked me into this. Change my status from 'tenative' to 'definite'. Oh, and save me a little patch of grass to camp on.

And Joe brings up a good point about the 'monetary assistance'. I'm sure most of us will have no trouble chipping in.

Gunslinger/Terriderri: Thank you so much for organizing this event. Sounds like it'll be a hoot!

BTW: Is the 'open carry' good for non-residents? (Vermont Style)

I also want to thank Gunslinger, and Terridarri for hosting this. Also, if anyone wants to ride shotgun (In both the literal and figurative sense) from Indy, the seats open.

Better look out, ya'll, this could be looked upon as a "militia movement" and I'm sure some or most of you fit the FBI profile of a terrorist. Now all you need is a few pro-RKBA bumper stickers and the JBTs have all the excuse they need.

Gunslinger · April 10, 2000, 05:39 PM

Thank you for all the praise but to be honest the credit all goes to Terridarri. She is the one doing all the calling and planning. I'm just......well.......hmm.......I must be doing something.

Our goal is three fold. One is to arrange it so everyone knows exactly how much the meet is going to cost them in advance with everything included. That way no one has to concern themselves with any unexpected expenses later.
The second goal is to keep the cost as low as possible. We'd like to see as many members as possible be able to attend and keeping the cost low will help. Unfortuately that will require money. However with the preplanning that is going into it and by doing a lot of "shopping" we are anticipating a cost of from $10 to $20. No more! That will include everything in the above post as well as a few other things that we are still working on.
Combined this will acheive our third goal which is to have fun!

Forum location: We have posted the meet in the General Discussion forum twice but the staff is trying to steamline that forum by moving the meeting post here. Besides George was getting lonesome down here.

It was receiving more responses in the GD forum and many of the members have not "discovered" the meetings have been moved yet. (George posted a thread in GD (Lock and Load) to direct members here.) This thread will reach 100k soon and have to be restarted. If the staff have no objections we will reopen it back in GD. If not members will discover it here eventually. The staff knows a dang sight more about moderating than I do so I will defer to their judgment. One suggestion on that topic though. If any of you notice the name of someone whom you would realy like to meet at the get together that is conspicuiosuly absent here send them a personal invite via e-mail and direct them to the link.

One last item: Any and all suggestions, ideas, thoughts or whatever are more than welcome. Again you can either post here or feel free to e-mail either myself [email protected] or Terridarri [email protected] . To paraphrase the Motel 6 commmercial; "We'd love ot hear from ya.'

Thank you to Slowpoke Rodrigo for volunteering, via e-mail, to drive three hours and help before the meet.

Thanks for all your efforts. I think this is a super opportunity for all of us here to shakes hands with some "cyber-family".

...Also thinking this would be great place for personalized TFL shirts! (To save: I'm John. I post as...)

Thanks again for everyones support, it is appreciated very much.

Fubsy,
I called the local store for you tonight and the out of state fishing license is $35 or you can get a daily pass for $5 each day.

Someone earlier asked about the open carrier laws in Missouri, it is legal for out of state just the same as residents.

Gunslinger and Terridarri,
Thanks for hosting what may become a VERY big deal!!

Let's close this big, slow-loading thread.
Open one in General Discussion and let's see how big *that* one becomes!
