Thanks Deb, I was going to wait till I get close to there, since we are coming from Colorado. That's why I was hoping for a Costco or Sam's but I am sure I will find some along the way. If not I will be buying them at every mini mart in town.

Hello Nancy and Mike:
We will bring a hammer and large tacks (roofing nails).
We will help with the packet assembly on Wed. and registration on Thurs.(let us know what time). Will help with registration on Friday if you do not have enough help.
On Sunday I will contribute to brunch by cooking up a mess of blueberry buckwheat pancakes as long as I can have a couple of stoves with griddles or large fry pans. We will also bring some Canadian maple syrup.
I know we will not win a trophy this year but I, we would enjoy presenting the trophy for the greatest distance travelled if that is OK with you.
We will be in Bandon on Tuesday evening.
Looking forward to seeing you and giving you your well deserved hugs.

Anne, can you, Bret and Ellen work this out? They said a few posts up that they would get them. But if you already have them then you two should email back and forth. Just let me know who can bring them. Okay?

willar, Thank You, for stepping in for me................. We sure wish we could be there to bring the candy bars. But it's life, at least for this week. We won't make the rally but are going to be able to pick up the rest of our vacation or at least some of it. Hope all of you have a great time!

We hopefully will get to make it next year. Hear Bandon is beautiful! My Dh says we went by there on a trip, but I think it was at night and we were trying to meet up with friends so don't remember it. But hopefully next year we can check it out. Thanks again willar. Robin
