MAKE PLANS NOW - MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
2008 Annual Event - Saturday, October 11, 2008 -- Dawsonville
Please make plans now to attend the Georgia Cruisers Annual Event in Dawsonville on Private Property our club is privileged to use. We will have multiple activities - including swimming, trail rides (on site), horseshoes, kids activities & contests, mountain biking, camping, Outlet Mall shopping for spouses, etc.
The BOD has decided to again subsidize most of the cost of the event, and to continue to offer a nice raffle. Since most of the raffle items are purchased at club expense, the BOD has decided to again ask the membership for a registration fee of $10.00 per member. The registration fee includes all activities and enables the club to continue to make a contribution for the use of the property. The club will again provide a catered BBQ dinner with Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken, Brunswick Stew, Baked Beans, Slaw, Buns, Drinks, etc. The Registration Fee can be paid at the event, or in advance, if you prefer.
The Annual Event is open to current PAID club members and immediate family at club expense. We only ask that you sign up and confirm the # of adults and children that will attend from/with your family, so that we can properly order an adequate supply of food. THE ONLY CHARGE WILL BE THE $10.00 REGISTRATION FEE. Single members are entitled to bring a guest / date of your choice, along with other immediate family members / children. Any other non-club invitees should be approved by the BOD, and any non-member guests who plan to bring a truck to ride the trails will be charged a fee of $30.00.
Everyone - Last year we all enjoyed sharing Snacks, Hors D'oeuvres, and Desserts which were provided by all you great cooks in the club. So, we are asking that each of you help out again this year. Please bring a dessert or some type of snack / hors d'oeuvre which you can share.
We plan to have another nice Raffle this year. Hopefully, very similar to what we did last year. The BOD has authorized spending up to $1,000.00 for raffle prizes. In addition, we will have a number of donated prizes. There will be several GRAND PRIZES with a total value in the $550.00 to $650.00 range. Each current paid member is eligible for the Grand Prize and will be issued (1) Grand Prize Ticket. We will also have many other nice prizes in multiple categories. Raffle tickets will be sold on-site for $1.00 each. Any person attending is eligible to win any prize except the Grand Prize. YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN ANY PRIZE!! This should be the best Raffle ever, so make sure you are there!!
