Each month from now through October I will be highlighting a “special spot” on Beaver Lake that you should try to visit this year. The goal is to get us in our boats and out on the lake!! At an end of the year event we’ll identify and recognize those that are eight for eight. You needn’t go alone. Gather up some friends and make it a social outing with perhaps a picnic thrown in! Beginning February, the Ad-Hoc meeting was changed to Wednesday, with the first meeting of the month being a 5:30 PM evening meeting and all the rest being 11:30 AM Lunch/Brunch meetings. The evening meeting is at my home until the weather allows us to move it to George’s dock. The lunch/brunch meetings are at the Log Cabin restaurant in Prairie Creek for now. The days and times are set. We will apprise you of any change in location well in advance The group at the first evening Ad-Hoc meeting made a decision concerning future evening Ad-Hoc meetings. It was their decision that each attendee would bring an hors d’oeuvre or snack to share and would bring their own drinks (if other than water). Howard and I will be off on a visit to friends and a cruise from Feb 20th to March 10th. In our absence, my mother Geny with help from Marilyn Annen will host the Feb 24th & Mar 10th lunch Ad-Hocs as well as the March 3rd evening Ad Hoc at our home. My sweetheart took me to the February 12th Valentine’s dinner and dance at the Elk’s Club!! We had a fabulous time! Everyone I talked to that attended has said it was the best ever! The food was good, the Elks Club went all out on decorations and service, and the band was great. They played music that got everyone out on the dance floor. The Fishing Sub-Group met this evening, Feb 19th. A group of thirteen showed up and had a wonderful chili, cornbread, and brownie meal. Bob Johnson is the Chair of this Sub Group. All that attended are ready to go! The next meeting of the group will be at the Hook Line and Sinker tackle and bait shop on March 16th, at 5:30 PM for a private tackle and equipment talk. It is located by the railroad tracks on Hwy 12, kitty corner from Harps and Garners. You can email Bob at BOB2PADDY@att.net if you didn’t have the opportunity to join us at the organizational meeting but want to get involved. March , 2010 Events
The cost for the dinner is still undecided as the price for corn beef has been fluctuating. It will be more than $10 but less than $20.00 each, and we can assume dancing will add on another $5.00 each. The menu will be corn beef and cabbage. The band will probably be Wes & Hope (the band for the Valentine’s dinner/dance) or it could be Freddy Weston. Plan on Cocktails at 5 p.m., dinner at 6 p.m. and band about 7ish. Please RVSP by March 15th to Kathy Spila at 479-925-3130 or kspila@cox.net. Kathy will send out an email notice once the cost and band have been decided. March 24rd to 26th Horse Races at Hot Springs Arkansas. Ray and Marion Moore began a tradition a few years ago by inviting folks to join them at Hot Springs, AR for horse racing at the Oaklawn Race Track. The group camps in RV’s, trailers, and the cabins at the Hot Springs KOA. Most arrive the night of March 23rd. If this is something you think you’d like to be part of, contact Ray Moore (479-925-2606). The KOA campground may be full up -- but if not this year, there’s next!
