|
Event Information Date: August 16, 2014 Location: Proud Lake State Recreation Area, Oakland County, Michigan ("Powers Camper Cabins" Area; not "Proud Lake" itself). (Please go to the Proud Lake SRA info page of this website for more info on the party location and the park.) Time: Noon to 6 pm (Set-up will start by 10:30 am; feel free to come early and help setup...and/or stay late and help cleanup...) Please Do: Register ASAP and volunteer to help in the way most suited to you. Check out the food/volunteers page and see what help might be needed and then volunteer when you register and/or via email. When you register, please fill out the form (or copy and paste into an email) and indicate your preferences/thoughts (see form). Make sure you get on the email list. Registration includes your contribution to cover costs (park site rental fees, food/emergency tent/setup, table rental, equipment, food, beverages, ice, etc.). Please encourage your friends to register and volunteer, or coordinate with them and do so on their behalf. To Register: For planning, budgeting, organizing, etc., please register ASAP, so we can get an idea about how many are coming (or intending to come), what people's dietary restrictions/preferences are, what our budget will be, etc. Go to the registration page, print out the form, sign up, etc. And/or, if you are at least thinking about coming, please send an email to touch base re status. For people coming from out of state, it is especially cool that you are going so far out of your way to participate. We understand clearly that not everyone can be expected to bring stuff. If you can, please volunteer to help with a "committee" of people who will help coordinate bringing food, etc. The more people who do that, the better this will be for everyone, in many ways. The idea is to plan ahead and spread the load of preparing things and bringing stuff on August 16. As always, there will be great music, and again, we will have live music! (Plans are still formulating, but it will be cool.) Last time around, at the “55 Party”, we were very fortunate to have several musically talented BHS alums from our era play, in three basic configurations (chronologically, Greg Manning’s band, The Front Street Blues Band, Jan Krist, and a jam band I like to reference as The XBHS Jam Band, with various alums and friends participating; thank you all, it was really excellent!). It was definitely great fun. Compared to last time, the plan is for this to be far less amplified (for a couple reasons), and more acoustic-based. This will no doubt also be lots of fun and very memorable. More to follow as plans develop, or we could just leave it as more of a surprise... Following are: a map of the Proud Lake Recreation Area, an aerial view of the party portion of the park, and a couple pictures of the party site. For more pictures of the site, info about the park, maps, etc., please go to the Proud Lake SRA info page. Hope you can make it...keep us posted (and/or If you have any questions, etc.), please send an email to 60Party2014@comcast.net. Thank you for considering joining our gathering of gatherings!
