SeaDoo XI - August 14-16, 2009
 

Update 8/10/09

Final counts have been given to the restaurant, so the dinner event is officially full. If you have an excellent excuse, or an excellent bribe, I could probably squeeze in 2 more people.

If you are coming to the Delille or Carter wine tastings I need your RSVP by Thursday.

As is SeaDoo tradition, we will collect hotel/airline amenities to donate to a local shelter. Please bring the items to the BBQ (unless of course you aren't coming to the BBQ... in which case I'll take them anytime. And as is also SeaDoo tradition.. all Aveda products collected will be donated to my bathroom :)

If you have any food allergies or dietary needs that require more than just picking around the offending item.. now would be a good time to let me know :)

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

Thank you SO much to everyone so far who has donated to the my 3-Day walk this year. In addition to significant donations from those who can't be with us at SeaDoo this year, we had 92 entries into the DATE WITH ME™ Raffle and I'm pleased to announce that a winner (and backup) has been selected...and I still have the bag-o-names from which a few consolation prizes will be drawn at the Sunday picnic.



Without further adieu... Here's how the drawing went.

All the entries... shuffled and ready for the bag

I am now waiting for post #1 to be edited to include:

YES we are going to Redhook. :D

PROBABLY Redhook ... but there are some other options I'm considering first.

YES we are going to Redhook AND Chateau Ste. Michelle AND Columbia ? :D

Are you volunteering to be in charge?
