Hello List,
I'm starting to explore the logistics of hosting a rally out here on
Treasure Island (we're in the middle of San Francisco Bay on the old
navy base.) Since the redevelopment hasn't happened yet there is a
surplus of empty parking lots.
I've just sent off a message to the authority that runs the place to see
what it would take to rent one of the lots right around Fleet Week,
which is October 7-11th this year.
I'd like to see how much interest there is to come out here at that time
so that I can get some idea of how much space we'd need to do it. It's
all dry camping but if I can get the space I want, the views will be
fantastic. If I can't get exactly the space I want, they'll just be
really, really good.
This is also a call to the Wagon Master for my area to contact me. Not
sure if 49ers has one or if Western States is the right place to turn.
I haven't gotten around to joining a club yet, but will soon. I just
wanted to get this started earlier rather than later.
Thanks,
Desmond Crisis
Treasure Island, CA

Desmond,
We are to put on a rally in March for the 49ers.
Maybe we can work out something so we can co host it.

Desmond,
Most clubs and organizations have their rallys organized one year in
advance. GMCWS is now two years out. Your best bet is to join the
organization of your choice and attend a few rallys. Then decide if
you want to be a rally host. There's more to this than meets the
casual eye of the attendee.

I'm not really trying to throw a full-blown rally, but a

that works, we have done it for years in Orgn. called it the SOOR rally.
SouthernOregOnRally.
No frills, no cost, no ammenities, no affiliations. It was great, and we
will do them again when the situation allows.
they go on all over the nation in back yards, restaurants, etc.
You are offering an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that everyone would want
to be a part of, (and we will;>)
Pick your time, place, and conditions, "build it and they will come" (we
will come, I will come).
we will have a great time

What Gene F. said!!
Make it casual and informal like SOOR.
Count me in and if you need some help; call on me. I don't know what is involved or what I can do but I'm available to help.
I spent a week on TI in June of 1963 as a guest of the USMC.
Looking forward to seeing it again.
