Thursday dinner. Leslie and
crew have volunteered to fix dinner for whoever wants it Thursday night but
they need a head count so that they can purchase food. Please e-mail me or Leslie (leslie.servid@gmail.com ) if you want
Thursday dinner. Are you arriving
late? Do you need dinner held for
you? If we do not hear that you want
dinner then Leslie will assume you do not.
Attached are several
documents. I hope that you do not have problems opening any of them. I have them in *.pdf format so hopefully they
will open ok.

CHECK IN: When you
arrive, come to building 353. Come in the main entrance to the park. Turn left right after the theater and before
the guard house. Turn right at the
ticket booth. 353 is the first house on
the left. That is where I will be
with all the check-in information. For
those of you who have not paid – you can pay at that time. Please let me know when you expect to arrive
so I can be there when you want to check in.
Habitat for Humanity: on
Friday June 29. When you arrive at check
in there will be a sign-up sheet for either the morning or the afternoon
shifts. We will have a joint lunch for
both shifts. Lunch will also be provided
for those not doing the H4H. We will
coordinate transportation/car pooling when we know who is doing what. Tools are provided but if local people want
to bring very basic things like a hammer, tape measure, possibly a power drill,
that would be fine. We will want to car
pool so if you are willing to drive you can indicate that as well.
MEALS: Jody and Rob Ramer are coordinating the meals. There have been a lot of people saying that
they would be willing to help in whatever capacity needed. So please just show up to help or ask Jody
and Rob how you can best help. We will
be cooking in possibly 5 houses. So
coordinating the meals may be interesting.
They will let us know meal schedules . We will be eating and gathering in house
353. People who live locally please
bring things from your kitchens like mayo, ketchup, mustard, cereals, peanut
butter, syrup, sugar, creamer? So food shoppers don’t buy any of these things.
Jody and Rob need to know as soon as possible if they
should do a non-Indian choice for Friday and Saturday nights. (robramer@mm.com or Jody.Chrastek@Childrensmn.org). Check the menu.
OUR HOUSES: Look at the map of houses. We have been assigned 8 houses: 5E and 5W
(duplex), 16D (this is one apartment that is part of a building with 4
apartments). These 3 houses all have
free Wifi anyone else wanting Wifi can go to the Commons or cafeteria. We have 332S and 332N (duplex), 333S and 333N
(duplex) and 353. These 5 houses are the
closest together. Since 353 is where we
will be meeting to eat, the cooking can take place in any of these 5 houses. It
will be easy to transport food to 353.
Each house has a complete kitchen and at least one bathroom. You will
get 2 keys – one for your room and one for the house. Bedding and towels are all provided.
THE HUB: Building 353.
This is where you check in. This
is where we will gather for meals and group gatherings. The front door will be open from
6am-11pm. Coffee and Decaf will be
available. Bring your sharing
foods/beverages here. You are welcome to
keep food in your own homes as well.
GROCERY STORE: - There are several grocery stores you pass on Hwy 20 or Sims Way Fort Worden 442 West Sims
Way
The Cafeteria in the Commons
is open 7am-5pm, the Cantina by the beach is open noon-6pm for people who want
to supplement what we provide. There is
WiFi in the Commons.
What to bring: Port Townsend has quite a range of temperature so
bring layers. If it is warm enough there
is swimming, there are trails for walking.
But we could just as easily have rain.
So be prepared. Bedding and
towels are provided. But if you want to
go to the beach – bring your own beach towel. Bring slides, pictures
memorabilia, pictures on a thumb drive.
Jeri, maybe you would like to bring copies of your book for people to
see. Anyone else have show and
tell?
ACTIVITIES: Leslie will bring a slide projector and screen if
people want to bring slides to share. Jeri
will bring her iPad so that we could do
a slide show of digitized pictures. Does
anyone have a portable Mic? Do we need one? Wine tasting anyone? I would be interested in checking out Fair
Winds http://www.fairwindswinery.com/pages/contact.html
Saturday afternoon. Anyone else
interested?
MONEY: Once the people who are purchasing food turn in
their receipts I will be able to calculate what we owe for the food. At this point it is hard to guess how much it
is likely to be. Whatever we figure out
it will be one flat rate. It is too
complicated to make exceptions. I have
factored some food money into the rent but since I was just guessing we may
have to do some adjustments. In any case
it will be les s than $50 per person. Food purchasers – do try to watch for
bargains. At this point we are looking
at 41 people – 7 meals (I think both Thursday night and Sunday morning will be
reduced numbers, so I am counting them as 1).
CHECK OUT: When you leave remember to take every thing with
you. If you are flying and purchased
food that you don’t want to take with you then maybe someone who lives locally
will take it. Make sure you leave your
key with me or at the front gate when you leave. Check out time is 11am on Sunday. That is just when you need to be out of the
house and the keys turned in. You can
hang around the park as long as you want.
The clean-up for your house – take out trash/garbage and make sure
dishes are clean.
SCHEDULE: This will be
a free floating weekend. We will have a
better guess of times when everyone has arrived
