As we discussed at the meeting, the suggestion had been made to have the annual picnic a bit earlier in the year as opposed to when we had it last year.
Our house, in combination with the next monthly club meeting on May 12th
Guests can arrive as early as 10 AM
BBQ Grill will be fired up by 1 PM
I'd like to start getting a list together of who will attend and bring items to picnic.
Below is an example of last year's line-up:
85GT (Hot Dog and Hamburger Buns & Baked Beans)
Fierofool +1 (Potato Salad, Home Made Chili & Watermelons)
Mr. Fiero GTB & Mrs. 70 Chevelle (Potato chips, tortilla chips & salsa, and an assortment of cut-up fruits)
AeroDonamic +1(2)?
TopNotch (Napkins, plates, cups, flatware)
GrannyLinda (Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, Pickles, Hot Dogs, Burgers, Lettuce and Tomatoes, red and Vidalia Onions)
Duchess & The Don (Cajun Pasta Salad - Some type of German cake or two)
88_4mula + 1(?) (Crockpot of Mac & Cheese)
Please post here and let us know what you can bring. Anne and I will start it off:
Duchess & Donster (Cajun Pasta Salad - Some type of German cake or two)

How about if the club buys the meat?
-
Isn't that how we did it last year?
Did we re-imburse you and Linda?
I have no problem with that, if everyone agrees, we will have the cub purchase the meats - after we have a somewhat accurate headcount.
All agree?
\D
-
I can bring what?
Lots of chips , a multi pack ....
Chips, fritos, Doritos ,ect.."
How's that?

Yes I did get reimbursed.
Don I think you should buy the meat since the picnic is going to be at your house.
Also you might want to have the meat on a separate receipt for the club books.

I agree, but we might just send Gerald a shoppng list and have him go shopping ;D

I'll pick up the meat and franks. Once we have a headcount, I'll get enough for one burger and one dog for each person attending, plus 10%. There's a market over this way that has very fresh meat. Fresher than Kroger, Publix or Ingles.

FieroFool, please note: I prefer Mesquite-grilled 100% Kobe beef burgers with a coriander and cumin rub, dressed with Vidalia onions (1/8" thick by 3.25" diameter), dill pickle chips, fresh lettuce, and Heinz http://www.amazon.com/Heinz-Limited-Edition-Ketchup-Balsamic/dp/B006ZLCN4Y/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1334691775&sr=8-19 (http://www.amazon.com/Heinz-Limited-Edition-Ketchup-Balsamic/dp/B006ZLCN4Y/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1334691775&sr=8-19) tomato ketchup with Balsamic vinegar, on a (seedless) onion roll, accompanied by (sweet) cole slaw and haricot rouges honey/maple-baked BBQ beans. Thank you.

This cookout isn't just for dues paying members. Got a Fiero? Bring a side dish, come out and meet some of the nicest Fiero folks in the state of Georgia.
Edited to add: If you do plan to come, we need to know at least 2 days early so I can purchase enough meats. That applies to members and non-members.
-
What SIZE "Red Solo Cups"?
12 oz. or 16oz.

We posted exactly that on our web site also (had 525 hits so far!).
Pat, how about posting it also on our club's main web site?

Don, I edited my post to ask that we be advised a couple days before so I can purchase enough meat for those who plan to be there.
-

12 oz. or 16oz.
Your every wish is but my command.

I can go for that. We have plenty of refrigerators, so if you need to bring drinks/sodas ahead of time to get them cooled, feel free. Just give us a heads-up.

What time does the picnic start ?
-
yes.... need time info... my cousin got us tickets to a rugby game at Life on the 12 th. i want to do both. she got the tickets so we could celebrate my b-day weekend (b-day 11th)
-
ugh... game is at 1. so unless we having evening picnic... geez
-
Picnic is "open-end" as far as time goes.
Previous year, the last guests didn't really leave until it was dark ;D
Starting time is posted in the link a 10 AM, but that was just meant for people who want to come over early and help set up.
Plan on it being an "All-Day-Event" for all I care. We'll be here.

Turns out our big "Side-By-Side" in the garage blew up on us yesterday. Technician is here as I write to repair it, so we will have enough cold storage in case anyone wants to bring perishables over early.
$400 repair - Ouch!

The DOT just put up signs on Spring St and W Peachtree tonight that the "Run for the Cure" cancer charity footrace will be blocking both of our building's garage exits this Saturday from 8:00 - 10:30 a.m.
Is it okay if we don't show up with the paper plates, napkins, plasticware and drink cups until about 11:30 a.m. ???

Come when you will, but I've been asked to post a more accurate starting time, so here you go:
Guests can arrive as early as 10 AM
but
the BBQ Grill will not be fired up until 1 PM

-
Chaz, you go ahead and have a good time in Florida with your family and be safe.
Don't worry about Shanine's car. Door is always open here, but take care of your car first.

-
Game is over at 3... so at some point after we will be there... since we are coming so late after, is there anything we need to bring? Might be 4 or so b4 we get there... I assume all food will be done by then so us bringing any would be dumb!
-
Shannon, I'll bring enough hot dogs and hamburger meat so the 3 of you can still have something to eat.

We appreciate that, but there is no need for you and Duchess to sleep outside just to put us up overnight... ;D
Since you're not firin' up the grill til 1:00, we should be fine getting there about 11:30.
FGTB & Ms.70Chevelle
-
Now that you mention it, we actually have a couple of guest rooms too. ;D
But yes, 11:30 is more than fine. It's early enough for you to help setting up - Hah!
\D
-
Shannon, I'll bring enough hot dogs and hamburger meat so the 3 of you can still have something to eat.
That's sweet of u. We were just wondering if there was still anything we should bring?
-
If I could make some suggestions for any who have not signed up or are undecided on what to bring. Wal-Mart has some great BBQ beans in the deli area. Also, some ruffles and french onion dip made from sour cream and Lipton Onion Soup mix, or a veggie plate of carrot strips, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, and some salad dressing dips or spinach dip and Fritos.
Melanie and I will bring some soda crackers and sliced jalapenos to go with the chili, and some small bowls to eat from. Our oxygen supplier hasn't been able to get the larger tanks we use away from home, so here's hoping Melanie will be able to make it.

We really hope Mel can make it, and we'll try to keep her as comfy as possible!

Pat is bringing Whole Wheat Buns and Turkey Burgers.
-
I guess since we will arrive long after the major portion of the food has been served we will plan to bring a dessert of some kind.....
-
BTW: We still need at least one large (folding?) table for seating outside.
Can somebody provide one?

Also do you still have the roll of plastic from last year ?

I wanna see someone bring it in a fiero! Lol!

Can't remember who brought the roll, it wasn't ours and it's not here anymore
\D
-
I have a roll of table cloth plastic. I think it's the one we had last year.
-
We are bring 2 5' long tables and
I found the Roll of Plastic from last year.

I can bring some barbecue beans :)

I spoke with Dean today, and he's actually going to take a break from the moving and come on over for the picnic around 1 PM.
Despite all the work that still needs to be done, he probably needs a break even more.
\D
-
Ok I only have my phone and im not sure how well I will be able to internet surf on it at the game. I need to know what is happening and where to go. Someone please call or better yet text me to keep me up to date on what's happening. We have no trouble going to deans to help but since we will be doing this On the fly I need to know where everyone is. I have a change of clothes, so we can go straight to Deans if need be...
the # is seven seven zero- five nine six- two seven four three... please let me know what and where or at least who to call or text when we are leaving the game.
-
Good turn-out, heaps of fun, Anne and I really enjoyed it. Thank you all for coming and participating.
However.............
.........and this really bothered me.......
...........if you come to my house and break bread with me, the way I was raised, YOU AT LEAST SAY GOODBYE TO THE LADY OF THE HOUSE!
Leaving after you've gotten what you came for, without saying a word, is behaviour indicative of bad manners.
I don't really care if you say goodbye to me, but I think my wife deserves at least that much respect after all the trouble she went thru making sure that all is prepared.
Other than that, we had a great time! ;D
\D
-
Melanie and I were among the guilty. After Mel walked up the hill, she was worn out and couldn't make it back down to say goodbye, but she did call Anne about 7:15 to say goodbye and to thank her for the day. Melanie said she really enjoyed herself and the company.
Thank You, Thank Anne and all who came.
-
I thought Pat and I said goodbye.
Sorry if we didn't.
By the time we got home I went straight for the REALLY strong
pain medication and wrapped up in my blanket to get warm and
fell asleep.
-
NO, Charlie, Mel, Pat & Linda are not among the guilty!
I'm sure the person(s) I am referring to hardly ever read our forum, except when they need help or parts, but I needed to speak my mind.
We are sorry Mel felt bad after going up the hill, but we are glad she was able to come over as long as she did.
Linda, sorry you were in pain, but happy you came over too.
And we also liked the fact that some new faces showed up, Fiero owners or not!

It's too far back to remember specifics, but there was no shortage of food.

Ahhh....I remember it like it was yesterday (especially my extremely hot Cajun chicken sausage!).
Good times we had. Anne, Shanine & I sure miss them and all of you guys.
BTW: Now that we have a Fiero in our stall again, Shanine has been contemplating............ ;D

So, did he get whatever weird stuff for his burgers and side dishes?
