1st Annual AM Skier Reunion - June or July 2011

[rafe]

So then is the date of the reunion settled? Is it June or July? What are the dates? It's already late March ...

You must have missed it on the 1st page... it was kinda buried   

The weekend of June 17th - 19th (Fri, Sat & Sun) won by a wide margin.

Were CURRENTLY up to 10 confirmed attendees plus spouses, kids, guests, etc...   Wooooo Hooooo!!!!   If you plan on attending June 17th - 19th (or some combination) PLEASE REPLY to this sticky so I may continue to keep track of who's coming & get an overall head count.  Go ahead and make your reservations directly with Buchanans Resort!  They are first come / first served, but I'm sure they'll still have rooms, motel rooms &/or camping spaces available.  Also, let me know if you plan on bringing your Skier.  If so, you may want to reserve a covered slip (ask to be near Joel Roberts' slip) - cost is $14 a night (good rain insurance).

Please send me a PM if you have any questions, comments or concerns!

Hey, thanks ... we will be coming, two or three of us ... looking forward to the event ... 

[Joel]

THAT MAKES ELEVEN!!!!!       Keep 'em coming folks!!!  Its gonna be a great time!!!   

[phil]

Joel, we will be coming.  Rafe, Gonzo, and me(phil).  Gonzo is my bro and Rafe my dad so that's 3 of us. We will be bringing our 82 American Skier. We are also interested in getting a covered slip. Does this slip have a shore station to raise it out of the water?

[Joel]

Very cool Phil...  I dont THINK they have shore stations, but I could be wrong - you'll need to contact Buchanans.  They do have electricity.

Phil + 2, One 82 Skier and possibly a covered slip  (if you get a slip ask to be next to mine & the other AM Skiers).

Can you post that thread I sent you in a "sticky"? - I'm trying to get the same info from everybody so I may inform the resort & make some kinda quasi-plans 

Thanks,  Joel

Good news!  The Resort Manager is really excited about our Reunion.  I'm providing her information about the Reunion and the history of AM Skier boats in an attempt to get the local newpaper to do a story / taking pics, etc!!  Very cool!  She'd be happy to get us moored in side by side slips in a group and assist in any other requests we may have.  If ya'all have ideas on how to make this an EVEN BETTER event, please post it on here and I'll have a crack at it!!

Dinner:   We have reservations on Saturday Night @ 5:00 p.m. at Buchanan's Oak Tree Grill at the Resort.  Were going in a little early so they may provide better service to our group before the typical dinner rush.  The restaurant has a full menu from Appetizers to Burgers, Steaks, Chicken, Sandwiches and Wraps with Fried Catfish as the house specialty.  They do not serve alcohol, but BYOB is perfectly acceptable, so bring the adult beverage of your choice.   We'll be ordering individually off the Dinner/Lunch menus so no need to take advance orders.

I'll keep ya'all updated.   Keep posting whos coming with total # of people, boat, slip, etc...
