Yipee – only 3 more days. Everyone is all paid up. Thank you.
The sticky buns are made and frozen.
They are set to rise overnight and be baked Friday morning. I hope this works. I have never made so many.
Jeri created a blog for us. There are a few pictures on it at this
time. To look at the photos on the blog
go to http://picasaweb.google.com
use this email address: presbyreunion@gmail.com and
use this Password: namaste2012. Jeri will add more from our weekend. Feel free to add some of your own pictures.
CHECK IN: 3pm or later: When you check in at house 353 you
will be given 2 keys – one for your room and one for the house and a parking
sticker for your vehicle. Bedding and
towels are all provided. We have 8 houses and essentially 8 families
(Donaldson, Emerick, Fletcher, Nelson, Ramer, Seaton, Seibert, & Servid
(Margie – I am calling you a Servid)).
Each family is in their own house.
Habitat for Humanity: We will have a sign-up sheet when you check in. There
will be a morning and an afternoon shift on Friday with a lunch break. We will figure out car pooling and lunch
transportation when we all get there.
People who live locally - reminder
- Raid your kitchen/pantry: mayo,
ketchup, mustard, cereals, peanut butter, jam, syrup, salad dressing, sugar,
creamer.
- Folding chairs for our main
gathering area
- “Camping type” plates, bowls,
cups, glasses, utensils (or a set you don’t particularly care about).
- Sharing snacks and sharing beverages
(alcohol or other)
- Some of you have indicated that
you would bring extra cooking gear like large pots, skillets. The kitchens are equipped but maybe not
special items.
- Extra tennis racquets and balls
for those tennis players. Extra beach towels for those brave swimmers.
Though looking at the weather I don’t think anyone will be going in the
water. But you never know.
GROCERY STORE: Safeway is
at 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 free WiFi in the Commons.
What to bring: It looks like the weather will be in the 60s, partly
cloudy with a 10-40% chance of rain. So
be prepared.
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.
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 a show and tell?
ACTIVITIES:. Wine tasting anyone? I would be interested in checking out Fair
Winds Winery http://www.fairwindswinery.com/pages/contact.html
Saturday afternoon. There are 2 tennis
courts.. Any other geocachers out
there?? Jeri and Dan maybe would lead a geocaching hunt. J I think there are a few geocaches at the Fort. There
are walking trails, water activities, several small museums at the fort and of
course the gift shop. I don’t think we
will be doing any water sports. If you
have an idea of what you want to do then suggest it. My main goal is to connect, to eat, to
laugh. Basically to have fun. I hope you all will help me with that. J For the list of activities available at Fort Worden
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 extra it is likely to be. I have
factored some food money into the rent but since I was just guessing we may
have to do some adjustments. 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 meal).
CHECK
OUT: When you leave remember to
take every thing you brought 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 keys with me or at the front gate when you leave. If
you leave them at the front gate please let me know that you are doing that so
I don’t have to look for it. 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.
See you all on Thursday.
