Event - Calgary Eagle Bar 6pm
In order to promote the club and specifically this year's Bearbash, a suggestion
has been made to hold a 30-hour Famine before the event. The general survey will
go as follows:
1. Participants will collect donations (to a yet TBD charity) to sponsor them
for the 30-hour famine
2. The 30-hour famine will take place at the Calgary Eagle (date TBA) starting
at Noon Saturday and ending at 6pm on the following Sunday.
3. A 6pm supper will be available at the Eagle
4. What is needed from the members are both participants and people interested
in the organization.
5. Some things to be decided at this meeting is the chosen charity and the dates
of the famine, plus activities we can do to pass the time while we starve
ourselves.
6. If you wish to participate, or be involved with the organization, a meeting
will take place Sunday July 31st at the Calgary Eagle.
If you cannot make that date but are still interested in participatin, contact

30 – Annual Summer Campout - Crimson Lake - If you're going, please RSVP to our
event co-ordinator Bob
There will be a $5 BBQ on Friday night, with a
potluck supper on Saturday night. Bring a bear-pleasing dish to share.
We're camping at Pine Trails Campground near Pigeon Lake (
http://www.pinetrails.net ).
It's a gay-friendly campground and we will be in the Squirrel group site.
Cost is $10 per person per nite and we will be checking in on Friday the 28th
and out Sunday the 30th.
The site contains the directions from Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary - and
also includes a map.
There are also cabins available for two or more at
various rates (very reasonable) but I don't know if you want to advertise
that. I told them we were between 10-15 people but since it's based per
person in the group site I don't think it will up our rate if people book
cabins. If you want to book cabins, you are on your own as I won't
prearrange it for you...
Remember to RSVP so that enough food can be brought for Friday's BBQ.Terry
Bryant, our president, will be looking after that.
