[Kfamr]

So it's final! The first Florida PT meeting of 2005 will be held on:

Tuesday, January 4th, 2005 @ John Chesnut Sr. Paw Playground - Pavillion #3 (http://www.pinellascounty.org/park/04_Chesnut.htm)

Everyone is welcome!
Pavillion # 3 is the closest pavillion to the Paw Playground.

John Chesnut Sr. Park is located on East Lake road in Palm Harbor, Florida.

Kiara says that she wants to see EVERYONE there to throw the ball for her!

(This picture was taken yesterday at the Paw Playground! :) )


Right now they're in the middle of some reconstruction (The park is huge, though!) All they have is a small area blocked off which they're probably going to be mulching in pretty soon.

There are a few benches throughout the Paw Playground, as well as baggies and trashcans to pick up after your pooches.
There is a small dog area, and a large dog area, both of which have "Cooling Stations" where you can hose off your dog and allow them to drink.


Any questions please feel free to ask!
The next post I will talk about what food/drinks we'd like to have.

[Kfamr]

So what would everyone like to eat and drink?


Are Hamburgers/Cheeseburgers/Hot Dogs fine with everyone?
As well as chips, probably some sort of fruit salad, potato salad, etc..?

Drinks~
Coke/Pepsi?
Mello Yello
Water
Diet Coke/Pepsi?

What does everyone prefer?? I'm not that picky! :p

[anna_66]

NO FAIR, NO FAIR, NO FAIR!!!
That's my birthday and I want to be there too:(
Maybe one of these days.

I hope you have fun!

[slleipnir]

I can bring stuff too if you want??? Just let me know what.

(I'm not picky either XD..well except for some things which i'm very picky but drinks not really XD)

Anna- you hsould come cause this will probably be the only time I'll be anywhere near there :rolleyes: LOL you know you waaaaaaaaanna :p hehe

[Cincy'sMom]

Have fun!! And of course, take lotsof pictures for all us shmucks freezing in Ohio!!

[Samantha Puppy]

I wanna go!!!

[dukedogsmom]

What time? Sucks that I won't be able to spend a lot of time there this time. Wish I didn't have to be home on the 5th. Is Audrey going to be there on the 5th? I might be able to drive back. Don't know.

[Kfamr]

Probably around 3:00.

I get off of school at around 2 and don't usual get home until 2:30 or so.

I'm not sure what Audrey is doing.

[dukedogsmom]

Alrighty then. Guess I will be driving home pretty late then. Won't you be glad when you get out of school? But then comes work. Blah. At least you get paid for it, though :p

[slleipnir]

I'm pretty sure mom said we'd be there for the 4th and 5th in Kays area

[slleipnir]

My moms uncle lives in Titusville (sp?) where is that like compaired to where Kay is??

[Kfamr]

It's like 3 hours east of me.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Sounds great to me. Let us know what you want us to bring.

[slleipnir]

I'm just depressed it's cold down there T-T

[Kfamr]

Okay, my dad said that we can take care of the main course, drinks, silverware/plates/etc..

And he suggested that everyone/whoever brings a side to pass around. Whatever you feel like bringing is fine -- Chips, Salads, Desserts, etc...
If theres anything else you'd like us to get for your burgers/hot dogs, let me know.
Also, soda/drink preferences?

So, I'm going to copy off of the Findlay crew and make a "menu"..

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Kay, That's an awful lot for you guys to do. We can help with the drinks or hot dogs and buns and stuff.
I'll have to decide what to make as far as a side dish goes. What do you all like?

[slleipnir]

I don't mean to sound cheap, but I'm not going to have much money at all. I would like to bring something but I'm kinda confused by the 'menu' and what else is needed?? Pop or something to drink??

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Has anyone talked to Libby? Kay, I know you tried to call her but did you ever reach her?

[Kfamr]

We're fine with bringing a majority of the stuff, but if you'd like to bring the hot dogs and buns, i'll put you in charge of that then. :p

The ones with the question mark are what we need.
Like so:

----------------------------
Salads/Sides
. .???

Desserts
. .Brownies (Kfamr)
. .???

---------------------------

You don't HAVE to bring anything if you don't wanna.
I know grocery stores sell pre-cut fruits/veggies, and if you'd like to just pick up one of those, feel free to.

I haven't called her but I have PM'ed her a link to this thread. I'm not sure if she's read it or not, but I haven't got a reply.

Also, if anyone wants to bring some more drinks, that's fine too.

I'll post an updated menu in the next post.

Now if you can just arrange it with all of our work places (well, except for goofy Mark since he has been on a permanent vacation lately :rolleyes: ) and figure out how we can come up with the extra cash and find some place for the four of us and five dogs to stay, we would be all set!!! ;) :p

Hugs....Robin :p

[slleipnir]
