2021 Western Region Rally Coeur d’Alene Idaho – Activities

[scottz]

We are excited about the upcoming rally in Idaho. It is time to get serious about planning activities.

We need volunteer organizers to step up and take the lead. Remember, it won’t happen unless someone takes the lead.

Let us know if you are willing to organize any of these activities or if you have additional suggestions. In an effort to keep the schedule from becoming overwhelming, some (most!) activities will be moved to the “do on your own time” list.

Once organizers/activities are approved, the organizer will create a separate thread for their activity to provide details and solicit interest. Begin the title of each thread with “2021 Western Region Rally …”.

Respond in this thread to volunteer for any of these activities or if you would like to organize something else. If it is a local area activity, the organizer will be responsible for gathering information (cost, dates, etc), posting details to measure interest, sign up, making reservations, etc. The organizer does not have to do everything; recruit help. If it is an activity that requires reservations, we need to move quickly. Once we have an organizer and enough members interested, we will slot the event into the calendar.

Thank you!

Scott,


I know there are some Navy guys that might like to visit the museum at Farragut State Park on Lake Pend O'Reille. In 1943, the place went from 0 to 50,000 men as one of three Navy training camps in the U.S. I would set this up if anyone is interested. I live four miles away.

That sounds like a good trip. How long would we need?
Let me know and I will see where it fits in the schedule.
Go ahead and start a new thread, see if you can stir up some interest.

Thanks

Scott

Our schedule is starting to come together. Several members have volunteered to organize activities; thank you.

We still need someone to step up and organize the Morning Poker Walks, Pot Luck Dinner, White Elephant and a craft activity. There is also room in the schedule for a couple more activities if someone sees something they would like to work on. None of this stuff is hard or something we have not done before; there will be plenty of help; please volunteer.

Steve & Sharon Bischoff along with Richard and Marilyn Dube will volunteer for the White Elephant exchange

Thanks! Go ahead and start a new thread for the craft project. Let people know what to bring, cost, sign up; whatever you need.

Still looking for someone to coordinate the morning poker walks and the pot luck dinner.

Scott,

Are you going to pick a night for movie night or should I?

[Slugchick]

Scott and I are willing to organize a golf outing. If enough interest. Given what the schedule is shaking out to be..
Any suggested date options?? We’ve looked at a few local ones in the $50 range..

[Slugchick]

See above? I thought we started a new thread for golf. Sounds like your interested?

You did; he signed up in the new thread.

[captdirt]

Sorry, I didn't see the golf thread. Maybe the moderator can delete my thread.
