If you want to go you need to commit to this at Thursday nights meeting... I need a permission slip and $10 from everyone.
If you need help coming up w/ gear and want to go PLEASE let me know ASAP. I can help, but, I need time to make this happen.
After Thursday there will be no opportunity to get your name added to the list... e-mail me if you can't make the meeting and want to go (you will have to arrange to get your permission slip and money to me).
See you all Thursday,
Mr. C
