CRU BBQ on June 18th!

[Ashley]

Alright guys, it's coming up quick! Here's the scoop:

Saturday June 18th, West Overlook Pavillion by the Coralville Dam @ 11am

It will be our OFFICIAL BBQ to kick off the summer! We want as MANY people to attend, and we want to be prepared for all who come! That being said, we need those who CAN come to reply, and if you can bring something, let us know what you can bring! If you CAN'T come.. please don't reply, we're simply looking for a head count at this point so we know how much FREE food and drinks to bring you guys!

Here's what we will be needing as of right now:
-Plastic spoons, napkins, plates, cups, etc.. basic utensils!
-Ice
-Cooks
-Volunteers to set up
-Volunteers to clean up

*IF you want something OTHER than hotdogs, brats or hamburgers (i.e. steak or a chicken breast) you have to bring it yourself, and we'll cook it for you! Otherwise, all the food and drinks are FREE!

So far, here's what we're planning on bringing: Hotdogs, brats, hamburgers, potato salad, chips and dip, baked beans and gatorade or bottled water. Perfect BBQ food! =)

Gatorade and bottled water will be provided by us.. if you want SODA or ALCOHOL, you bring it yourself! Alcohol can ONLY be be around/consumed if you are 21 OR OLDER! and this WILL be strictly enforced, so don't try anything sneaky. =P

There IS a beach by the pavillion.. but if you want to swim, you'll need to bring $1 to get in.

Mel is bringing a volleyball net - if there's any other games or stuff you want to bring, let us know and bring it!

Our sister site, http://www.dragsource.com is also invited, so this is going to be HUGE!

The parking lot is HUGE, so wash up those cars, cos it'll be an awesome opportunity to get pictures of the CR:U cars!

We want to make this BBQ as great as we can! HOWEVER, we will need some help! For those who don't know, CR:U has a PayPal account setup so that people can donate money to the site - so we can buy your food! The more people donate, the better our BBQ will be! Do your part to make sure this is a GREAT BBQ!

To donate, visit this page:

Remember guys - if you can't come, PLEASE don't reply (it will probably just get deleted anyway!) If you CAN come - please let us know so we have enough food and drinks, and let us know if you can provide any of the stuff mentioned above!

**DIRECTIONS TO THE PAVILLION!**
First off - a map for you visual learners.. The dam and where our pavillion are is marked on the map.

http://www.zacfields.com/ashley/pavillion.JPG

Directions: Take I-380 South to the exit for I-80 headed into Iowa City. Take that exit, so you're on I-80. From I-80 take Exit 244 and go 3 miles North (you'll take a left onto Dubuque Street, headed AWAY from Iowa City) on Dubuque Street to West Overlook Road. There will be a large brown sign saying "Coralville Lake & Dam". Turn right at this sign. Proceed on West Overlook Road 1/4 mile to the Dam Complex Entrance Station.. as you can see from the map, keep going through the entrance station past the beach, to our pavillion!

-Brent :partyman:

[Deathinnovember]

Yeah I'll be there. I can bring some paper plates or sporks.

[JustinS]

ive never been to the coralville dam. so if i come can we all head up as a group?

since i havent met anyone on here yet(besides zac, but that was last summer) this should be quite interesting.

[Ashley]

it's pretty easy - mel or i will post directions as soon as we figure out exactly which pavillion it is. but i suppose if some people wanted to drive together, we could have someone lead some people out there from montgomery wards or something.

[biohazard]

I should be able to come. I'll bring what ever you guys want me to bring.

[melhoneybee]

Bio I might actually have you help me down at the plant that morning... if that would be cool with you!

[biohazard]

sure give me a ring on my cell when the time comes
350-5818

[Stutz]

i will probably be there, it will be nice to meet all you people for once

[Deathinnovember]

i will probably be there, it will be nice to meet all you people for once

It'll be cool to finally meet you too. Your about one of the only regulars I haven't met and zac will finally be able to find out if your black!

[DustinsDuster]

there is a chance i might be able to have my Duster there. it depends on how paying my ticket that i owe on is gonna go.

Dustin

[DragonUSMC]

Would it be better for me to make a $30 donation to CRU to help? or to bring some pork and beef from the farm for everyone?

Oh yeah, cant remember if we coverd this but coolers with frosty treats are ok at the park for of aged people correct?

[Ashley]

Actually, Mel is bringing all the meat from the Newhall locker, so meat is covered. But thanks a ton for the offer!

Alcohol is okay for people OF AGE. If an underage person is drinking, they'll probably be asked to leave because if a ranger or whoever catches us - they'll probably make us leave or pay a fine or something.. and we dont want that, so it's kind of going to be a zero tolerance thing. =)

Like I said before.. donations are GREATLY appreciated.. even something like a few dollars.. every little bit helps to get y'all your food and drinks!

[Luminatorz34]

yeah guys, i will be there too. i'll be bringing the "luminator" lol my broken baby. the black beast thatll soon be built up. hope to finally meet you guys there. steve

[ZacFields]

We will have a group meeting at the Westdale Montgomery Wards parking lot at 10am to drive out there together. We do need some people to help out with everything and one or two people to escort the group from Wards to the BBQ.

If you are interested in helping out in ANY way, please PM me and tell me what you can do. I will be there setting things up at 8:30am and I need a few people to be out there with me helping out.

We still need a cook! (as far as I know) Anyone good at flippin' burgers and whatnot?

Zac

[lil krumm]

i think i can make this. i'll try to be at wards, otherwise im gonna get lost.

[Rabbit]

i'd love to attend but yea... maybe some other time when i'm home on leave? lol

[Phantez]

id like to try and make it, but no promises

[Deathinnovember]

Zac if you need help with someone showing everyone where it's at. Hit me up on aim or something.

[melhoneybee]

Marc... only thing is would you be willing to drive to CR then back to IC to lead the way for the people at wards?

[ZacFields]

Okay guys, the CR:U Paypal account has about $98 in it right now. I will put in $15 tonight for all the stickers that I've sold thus far, and Ashley and I are donating another $50 to it.

So we'll have about $165 to work with for food and such. I'm not sure if that will be enough or not. We shall see. Feel free to make any donations to the CR:U paypal account by clicking the link at the top of the page.

(Remember, the account had $200 in it but $100 was spent on the CR:U stickers via our vote this winter)

Things we need, and who is bringing them!
-Meats (hot dogs, brats, burgers) Melisa- 120 hot dogs, 80 brats, and 100 burgers
-Buns - Zac and Ashley
-Gatorade Powder- Zac and Ashley
-Condiments (relish, ketchup, mustard, pickles, sour kraut) - Zac and Ashley
-Plates- Melisa
-Cups- Melisa
-Napkins- ???????
-Plastic Silverware- Melisa
-Beans- Zac and Ashley
-Chips/Dip- Zac and Ashley
-Potato Salad- Zac and Ashley

Basically Ashley and I will be purchasing anything that isn't taken care of otherwise using what is left in the CR:U account and then we will use some of our own money as well if needed. If you want to bring any of this, let us know. If you want to bring any sort of dessert or dish, feel free to! This is going to be awesome. HOpe to see everyone there.

Zac

[wiersnova]

Hey Zac, sounds like Jed, Titan, and myself, may be headed out that way. It'd be cool to put some names with some faces. Is it cool if I(we)just give you some $$ when we get out there? Me and Jed don't get paid till the thursday before anyway.

[ZacFields]

oh you guys don't need to give any money. This is a completely free event. If you'de like to donate sometime, that's awesome, but you should feel no obligation to contribute anything to this BBQ. Just come hungry....we've got enough food to feed an army.

Zac

[TbTalon94]

[Ashley]

Alright guys, it's THIS SATURDAY. Don't forget!

Is anyone willing to bring some napkins? If all else fails, Zac and I can pick some up when we grab everything else. BUT it would be nice to have one less thing to worry about, so if there's any takers on napkins, speak up. =)
