Monday, July 2, 2007

Last meeting before the Hunt Test!  We’ll meet at Stintons at 6:30pm for dinner.  Corinne will fix her great Italian beef on buns.  We’ll also provide baked beans and the table service.  It will be great if you can bring a side dish or dessert to share.  Please BYOB; we’ll have lemonade.  We’ll try to eat around 7 or so.

Bring your family if you can—there are several spouses that haven’t met the group.  The kids may enjoy exploring the trails in the woods next to the lake.  Bring your dog if you want to hand throw some Dokkens in the lake or the prairie before or after dinner, might be a good chance to “socialize “ younger dogs if you like.  Won’t be setting up the wingers.

We’ll have the meeting during or after dinner.  Be ready to commit to your part in the Hunt Test if you haven’t already.  Help is needed Friday (7/13) afternoon to set up, Sat (7/14) 7AM on, and Sun (7/15) 7AM on.  If you haven’t given them to us already, bring your premiums if you’re running your dog, bring the raffle prizes you’ve collected along with the raffle form.  We would also like to know how many tickets for the Saturday night banquet you need ($12 each), though we’ll have some at the door.

We look forward to seeing you!  Directions:  from the west edge of Evansville, go a short half mile north on County 82.  Driveway is on the east side, fire number 22191

MEMBERS, BRING THE RAFFLE PRIZES!!!!
