Lodi, June 8th, Thank a Wounded Warrior, Win a Camo Eddyline

I hope that some people from my company would volunteer on Sunday, our communication manager just sent announcement to all our Bay Area employees.

I'm in for breakfast crew - 6AM.  I might have a few friends w/ me.

-Marvin

Not gonna bring Olivia (sugar so sweet would melt in the heat) so I'll show up around 6-6:30 to help with burritos and/or setup.

    Sorry…  All fixed!!!  ya still in bmb 2.0?

Looks lie my Mac wants to change you to "bob"  not me….   

That was a complete and utter abuse of Moderator privileges Don...I love it!

Yes it was and shameless….  God Like power it is…. 

The VA is also bringing drinks and so are the American Legion,  I'm just not sure how much

I'm getting some interest from my students for volunteer hours.  How many volunteers are needed for this?

I want to put this out there again, I have room at my house in Lodi for some out of town NCKA'ers that would like to come in on Saturday for the event. 

It looks like I am canceling on your offer Rich. Berta is coming down with me in the morning.

No prob Rob

Don/Rob, is there an estimated count of OTW guides? Sounds like we could use A LOT.

We'll be fine. Vets just need to be supervised at this lake, not babied.

Please post up if you are bringing boats and gear if not already on the list. Only post up EXTRA boats, not the one you will be on. If you have anything else to bring let me know too. Thank you all. We will need everyone on the water that is able at some point to keep an eye on things throughout the day.

Here is the list:
Dan- 50 kayaks, gear, and a boat house

Evan and I will be there bright and early.  I'm sure Evan will work where needed and I can guide or do whatever.  I'll bring my camera rig and shoot on the water photos.  I'm going to fill a couple ice chests from the base ice machine here to bring along.  I'll also have students showing up here and there to help where needed.  Some of them would like a chance to get on the water at some point and some of them will just be working on shore.  They will work wherever they're needed.

we really won't have a good idea till game day on guides…  Mostly for something like this, were talking  ZONE DEFENSE…  we will definitely have some vets that will need a helping hand, but like bmb 2.0 said, most just want to go on their own…

That again is were the  " Launch Commander…"    has to size up the situation…

we should also have a Bass Boat and hopefully a Pontoon boat for OTW support and a ride for some of those D-Day vets….   

It does sound like we will be having a good number of vets in wheel chairs…  I can't imagine sending them out on their own, and mostly, the VA Therapist go with them, but again, we will size this up as it happens….

Great, all the students you want to bring will be great, and they will have a chance to get out on a kayak/paddle board, whatever they want…

with 100 plus degrees…  I really don't see anyone being out on the water too long
