I sent an email to all Participants earlier today. Check your junk email folder if it's not in your inbox. We will be staying at the Hadsel cabin.

PB (Rich) said he would bring some spaghetti for Saturday night. He will also be bringing his very small 10 lbs dog unless there is strong objections from the other members. FYI - this is a very well behaved dog that he brings to our local gay bar and sits on bar stool while everyone comes over to pet him.

We are good to GO. Currently I have confirmed Me(Steve), PB, Bob, & Jim. Ted can't make it and I have not heard from EcomFullMember.
