| Northwest Arkansas BBQ at Beaver Lake May17 Posted: 5/10/2008 9:08:07 AM | MEN: Where's the BEEF? I have not received a list of MEAT items you plan to bring.
Games: Someone mentioned Volleyball but nobody offered to bring a ball and net. I have a set of horseshoes but will have to scrounge up a couple of posts and I am not sure what the regulation distance is for pitching
Ladies: thanks for your generous food offerings and communication
Anyone Interested: Who wants to be the leader insuring we have every thing we need for this event? I am a concept person. Details are not my bag. I would think we could use a game supply coordinator, a food coordinator, a utility supply person, a boating coordinator, traffic control specialist, a smoke re-director, bug controller, a fire prevention specialist and a Cook (Heck, a Master chef would be even better). By that time it would be completely organized and just as completely unmanageable!!! Yep better just stick with one or two people in charge | |

| Northwest Arkansas BBQ at Beaver Lake May17 Posted: 5/10/2008 9:14:02 AM | Hi Steve! I was wondering of a way I could contribute and I am talented with Indian bead work and thought I could maybe make a key chain (they are beautiful with long leather fringes and Indian bead work on it) it can be a hassle free kind of thing that no one really needs to attend to. Im sure this is a decent bunch of people. I will decorate a large coffee can and attach the key chain to it. We can set it in a populated place of our group. People can write their name on a post it note provided and slip into can along with a dollar and can enter as many times as they like. At the drawing time we can just open the can and take out all the money and let people know what we raised and replace the names back into the can and draw a name. It will be self maintaining and can raise money for your next event. Let me know if you think its a good idea. Get back to me soon I need a few days to make one of those key chaines it is VERY tedious work .... and will have daughter decorate a can. Michelle | |

But I do have an extra set of horse shoe's I'm bringing and the posts that go with it. I don't really want to be in charge of anything (sorry Steve) I'm a follower not a dewer, I'll bring half the house with me, but I dont like directing other people on what they should be doing to help..lol | |

| Northwest Arkansas BBQ at Beaver Lake May17 Posted: 5/11/2008 6:15:25 PM | I posted 2 more salads (crab and macaroni) and apple muffins and banana bread and a chocolate cake decorated with wording to suit the occasion. I posted all that yesterday morning? It has yet to show up yet and no one has given me the OK on the beadwork to raise a bit of money either. Hmmmmm. I have to stop at Walmart tomorrow and get some proper beading thread on my way to the docs office. So shold have that project done in a couple days and if you dont want to raffle it fine by me I need a new one anyways every time I get my keys on a new one someone sees it and buys it. Ill be cooking my brains out either Thursday night or Friday night depending on which day Warrior is comeing to pick me up. Michelle | |

| Northwest Arkansas BBQ at Beaver Lake May17 Posted: 5/12/2008 2:25:11 AM | | to everyone could you please let me know what kind of meat you would like and i can pick some up also if needed i have a small refriarator i could bring to store stuff in some body speak up im left in the dark | |
|
| Northwest Arkansas BBQ at Beaver Lake May17 Posted: 5/12/2008 3:24:29 AM | I've got tools for the grill, and I'm bringing potatoes also. How much charcole do we really need if my grill is gas? haha
Warrior, as to the meat, Hamburgers would be easiest, the list is growing so it might be the cheaper way to go and since you don't know how many guests are coming it might be safer than doing steaks...even though everyone loves steak. But if we all go hamburgers we'll need buns also! I'm a pork chop nut myself!!
Oh I also packed up as much firewood as I could fit in my little compartment on the camper. And anyone in the last week that's shown any kind of intrest I've directed them towards the party, so who know's who might show up! | |
