LIM change and cam install in the parking lot!

Do we want to think about reserving a shelter? (thinking about the beautiful weather to start the picnic last year)

Also, keep your children on a leash if they are unable to behave themselves.

I am referencing several incidents involving a member's child, Johnny Airbox's testicles and a baseball bat.

There will be F-bombs. A lot of them. Just warning you, it can get ugly.

I'm not sure what to do about shelter. Although we haven't been rained out yet. Last year was close and we said we were going to reserve one this year. But it does cost money.

I'm going to suggest the Rochester caravan meet at 10:15. That way there's a chance we'll get there before noon.

booyaaa

I think the shelter would be a good idea, it was pretty cheap when we checked. I will pitch in some money if needed, and we could rent out any of them.

I have some ideas for differnt shelters to try that are in less populated areas of the park. It might be better suited to our normal activities.

I am in, and I can bring my other grill like last year as well as some other contributions.

As I recall our, antics last year which wasn't much (popped hoods in a line lookin at everyone's cars) was enough to warrant park po-po to post up right nearby and watch us closely as well as staked out in numerous spots along the road out of the park when we left. They never actually hassled us fortunately, except the statey that got dude on the way home on 390

What was the place we were at back in '05(?) next to the tennis court, where we had a pavilion? The provisions of a few picnic tables and roof over our heads (shade or shower reasons) would be worth a couple bucks per person.

Add at least 2-3 to my list, but I think they're going to be posting themselves.
