Ramblers Meeting April 17, 2010

Bring your: lawn chair, sun block, fly spray, your poison ivy precautions! and Kayaks if you wish.

Message from Karl Siedman:

This year we will have our Annual Meeting to elect officers and appoint coordinators at a really unique location.

We will gather at Shady Grove Preserve, on Rt. 40 between Ocala and Dunnellon on Saturday April 17 between 9:30 and 10 AM, and start promptly at 10 for a wonderful nature walk on this private preserve.  It will be led by the owner Marnie Hutcheson. 

If you were there in January  you are in for a big surprise, and if you weren't you will be in for a treat!  The forest should be in full flower and leaf unlike January.  There is now also a very large lake on the property. 

After the hike we will be eating a barbecue buffet lunch around noon.  There will be pulled pork and pulled chicken and several sides.   The cost of this meal will be $10 per person.  A drinking cup to fill and refill with regular or spearmint ice tea, or fresh water or other soft drinks will be $1.  You can also choose to bring a beverage on your own.

The annual meeting will begin around 1PM and should be over by 2 PM. There will be a drawing for door prizes. After that you can take an afternoon walk  or go kayaking. 

Please RSVP to Karl at otherkseid@hotmail.com to let him know if you are coming, BY MONDAY APRIL 5, or you can call at 352 344-1531.

If you will be coming to the meeting but not the lunch that is an option, as long as you let Karl know if that is what you intend.

A head count of all those coming is needed to determine how much the club will pay @ $5 per person for the use of the preserve and the guided walks. 

The lunch caterer also needs to know how many are attending--bring $10 per person to pay the caterer there. 

See you at the preserve April 17. 

Specific travel directions  will be sent as a confirmation to your RSVP.

Karl
