[Usittne] The annual BBQ

[Michael Katz]

Good morning All,

I am still not sure about our family Vacation Plans, but if (as I  
hope) I am able to come I would vote for Darlene's as a first choice  
and Your place as a second

Mike

Dear members of USITT NE, friends and everyone else on this  
listserve,  (Don't delete this email, this means you!)

In this email:  need your response on the BBQ and on the Dimmer  
Basics class.

It is time for the annual BBQ coming up on August 23rd.   The last  
email I sent about the BBQ did not get much of a response with only 3  
people saying they could come and 1 person a maybe. (Thanks for  
responding  to that one John, Keith, Ron and Janice.)   We all  
discussed at the March meeting that having it at a state park or  
other open location may be better than at my house.
I am hoping that if we make this a more fun location that I will get  
a better response from all of you.
So below are 4 options for you.  I would like to know if you would be  
interested in going and which location works best.  (For those in  
Boston, there may be carpooling options if I know who is going.)

Option 1:
Cape Light Opera Company in Falmouth on the Cape may have an  
available lawn.  It is closing night of their last show, A Little  
Night Music, if you could buy a ticket and see the show that same  
day.  Its a beautiful area  to be a tourist, however, traffic and  
distance may be a factor for some of you. It takes about 1 1/2 hours  
from Boston.

Option 2:
Darlene Anastas has just purchased the farm she talked about at the  
last meeting.  It is in Lakeville which is sort of between Boston and  
Providence, RI.
She says, " If people will forgive the work in progress then great,  
come on down.  I also have access to Long Pond for swimming.  Bug  
spray and sun block are a must.  People would need to bring some form  
of chair as I have tables but lack chairs.  One of the fields can be  
lit for night time.  Lots of land to roam, set up games, or sit and  
relax.  Just a little on the primitive side at the moment.    The  
farm is  located at 21 Highland Road, Lakeville, MA."

Option 3:
Cochituate State Park is a beautiful park with swimming, accessible  
restrooms, kayak and canoe rentals, lots of shaded tables and some  
open fields.   Beautiful spot and easy to get to in Natick.   
Drawbacks:  $5/car for parking, no alcohol and may get really crowded  
on a weekend if the weather is good.  Park Directions
Cochituate State Park is located in the greater Boston area in  
eastern Massachusetts.
 From East or West: Massachusetts Turnpike (Rte. I-90) to exit 13,  
Rte. 30 east. Park is on the right.

Option 4:  Same old thing at my house in West Roxbury.
