Annual meeting idea

[Kathie Brosemer <kathie@cleannorth.org>]

Here's one.

At Mockingbird Hill Farm, a "Blackout Party" - celebrate the great Ontario 
power outage of 2003 with our off-grid annual meeting!

We can have the Bucking House for a staging area, bring our own kerosene 
lanterns and Coleman stoves for the potluck, and have a private campfire 
behind the bucking house, and then access to the corn maze for our group. 
This for $7 per adult, $6 per kid.  We will need RSVPs so I'll know how 
much we'll have to pay Bob.

Suzanne and I figure if we announce this in Oliver Lehto, we might even get 
a bunch of new members to join.

Downside:  rain.  No rain location.  Would we cancel, or move to CN office 
to get the Annual and potluck out of the way?

I've tentatively booked Friday the 17th of October starting at 5:30 pm. 
Bob says the corn maze may be haunted by then, depending on his discussions 
with High School drama clubs.  Other attractions:  Suzanne might do a plant 
walk, Bob suggests a "singing cowboy" at the campfire for $100.  He says 
this guy will play the old favourites and folkie tunes we all love from 
Blackfly Jam events, and he draws $1000. a night at Mackinaw, but because 
he's local Bob gets him for cheap.

I'd like your feedback soon, because if we're going to do this, I would 
love to announce it in the newsletter that Dan is assembling this minute. 
So today or tomorrow if possible!

thanks
