alright guys and gals, need your input. Fontana finally called me about our eating arrangements, and I have a cool new option for Friday night. They are willing to cater a barbecue dinner with all the fixins for the same cost of $10. That will cut out the craziness associated with doing the cookout there. What do you guys think about this?
also, The Grill will be open for us Saturday night. They have all kinds of food, including burgers and such.

$10 for a BBQ dinner is a great deal. I would imagine it includes something to drink and if it's buffet style, probabaly won't have anyone to tip so $10 is a steal!
We won't be there until early Saturday morning though. Y'all enjoy!
Nice work on the itinerary as well.
($22 for BBQ, however, is ridiculous and the reason I skipped out on organized events before. This one is turning out to be a whole lot more reasonable)

Jason, you need to post the events that your are doing and the times and places that they are being held and cost. This should have already been done and that way you have something to go by if you do another one. Plus you can get feed back as what went wrong, what worked etc. Just a little friendly advice. If they are not well planned you will have flak that you will never believe. Once you get a bad rap, no matter how small it will stick with you.

BLUCOOPR, the itinerary has been posted, and all four events have been posted with when and where they are, as well as what they cost. It is also in the Program that's posted in the first post of the thread. There are only four scheduled events, the barbecue and Midnight Run on Friday, the Charity Disc Golf Tournament and Brew Swap on Saturday, and the total costs for all events are $15, $10 for the barbecue, and $5 for the entry fee for the disc golf tourney, and all these have been posted numerous times, but for those that may have questions, please refer to the first post of this thread for all the info, including the link to the Program. I have tried to be respectful to this forum by keeping all the posts in this one thread, and despite the challenge, I have tried to keep all the pertinent info in the first post of this thread.
Thanks for the great advice, though! I do appreciate it, and am working to make sure this works as well as I hope. I spend hours a week making sure I have done all I can for that goal.

Sorry to hear about that, and hope to at least meet ya up there! Take care of yourself first and foremost!!
Jason did all the work - I just posted it up for him! 
So your thanks are skillfully deflected to Jason, who deserves them. Note my cat-like reflexes.

OK, so we will have 100 patches that were paid for by 12 people. If we divide them evenly everyone will get 8 patches with four extras. I don't know about you, but I do not need 8 patches and I really would like to raise some money for the charity. So this is what I propose:
For every five dollars you paid you get one patch. So if you paid $20 you get four patches. If you don't need four patches you can take what you need and leave the rest, or you can sell the extras to recover your cost. If we do it this way we will have a minimum of 43 patches available to sell to other people at the event with proceeds going to the charity. That gives us the potential to raise more than $200.
Also I plan to send one patch to COOPERation to thank him for the cool design.
So let me know what you think. I can mail out patches before the event to those who want to get theirs stitched on a jacket before we get there.
