Alumni Events: 2008

Date Event
   
Jul 28-29 Alumni Camping Trip
Kepota Sportsmans Club, Shirland, IL
Contact: Dan Craig @
(563) 324-4109

From Dan: For the newbies, Kapota is a private hunting preserve with a firing range just northwest of Rockford near the Wisconsin border. For quite a few years, the Vets Club would meet there on Fathers Day weekend for a campout.

Matt Marshall is a member of Kapota and will be there on Saturday morning if anyone wants to roll in early. Otherwise, show up around noon to set up camp.

Activities will include your favorite beverage, some food, your favorite beverage, catching up on what we've been doing, your favorite beverage, re-telling (with some embellishment) favorite old-timer vet tales to the newbies, and your favorite beverage. Occasionally someone brings beverages that no one likes, but our Vets Club code compels us to drink them anyway.

Bring something to drink, some snacks if you want, something for dinner (we'll have a fire), a tent (some have slept in their cars), and a sleeping bag. A generous supply of insect repellent would be advisable.

Females are very welcome, but this is probably not the place for kids.

We'll break camp on Sunday morning and caravan to somewhere for breakfast before heading home.

Please RSVP to me if you plan to be there.
