Putting on my calendar now! I wonder if anyone will be camping?

[somecrazygreek]

As a paying member of both organizations, I will be there! It may be 2.5 hours away but figure it's about time I start showing my face at these things.

I am considering it.

[rugerfan925]

I'm a paying member, been to 1 MGO gathering/picnic a couple of summers ago & not sure if I'll attend another in the near future. It seemed to be a very cliquish event. Just my opinion

Give it another chance, I've only been to one too and I found everyone to be very welcoming.

If you ever see a Chinese guy at one, introduce yourself, I'll hang with ya

Maybe see you at Ann Arbor one?

[Mr. Waverly]

Wow, we're meeting in Okemos?!? The good folks there must be less liberal than I thought :-P

I should be able to make that meeting, not sure about the others, though.

[d_flinders]

I was all ready to go and got some devastating news about my dad the night before. Had to be with family and miss out. Looking forward to the rest of the picnics. Look forward to meeting everyone.

If anyone listens to WAAM radio 1600am, Our joint MGO/MCO picnic is being promoted on the "community calendar"

And you wonder why you can't sell any raffle tickets?

[mikeb32]

And you wonder why you can't sell any raffle tickets?

I have many things I wonder about, but if I give up, will someone jump in and take my place?

We have more then a few people here that have exhibited leadership skills and a willingness to be a team player.....Find the one most willing and able to give at least half the time you've given it and groom him/her for the eventual time when you can no longer go on.
Everyone, no matter how much they love doing these things gets burned out and once you get to that point you recognize that your effectiveness and attention start to fade.

You've done good Mr. President! If you walked away today no one would blame you and everyone would have to say thank you for leading us this far.

BUMP! Thank you Ricebrnr! I almost forgot about this before your reminder!

For those not familiar with the area, here are some helpful links

Gallup Park site:
http://www.a2gov.org/departments/Parks-Recreation/parks-places/Pages/Gallup.aspx

Google Maps showing http://www.a2gov.org/departments/Parks-Recreation/parks-places/Pages/Gallup.aspx :
1) the main entrance west of Huron Parkway on Geddes (less parking up front but some more spaces if you go deeper into the park and across the one lane bridge)
2) the alternate closest parking just east of Huron Parkway on Geddes (usually has more parking closer to the livery and an easy 5 min walk)

[Ricebrnr]

As another note, this is not in the way back pavilion like last year.

This year we will be up front and visible in the Gallup Park Livery! We get a room plus the run of the patio!

[thamm]

My wife and I are planning to go.

"May the wings of Liberty never lose a feather."

[fozzy71]

I am 95% to be there unless something comes up and/or I have to dog sit the injured house mutt.

She was a very nice person! I just glad she left before you whipped that big thing out of your pants and was showing it around! It was impressive…I'll admit!

I'm glad you're still talking to us little people…after hobnobbing with the big-shot politicians and all!

I'd have preferred you Hobnailed some politicians.

[Mr. Waverly]

I was really planning to attend, but the CEO/CFO/Big Boss had other plans for me.

How was the picnic - any photos? How did the good, liberal folks of Okemos react to all those guns in their little town?
