And, of course, CACHING!
Here it is, the MnGCA 2006 Poker Run and Dinner, open to any and
all cachers! Dinner will be at 6:00 PM at:
Carbone's Ristorante
9200 Lexington Ave, Lexington
(763) 786-1113
Here's the idea: On Saturday, April 8th, we'll meet at the listed
coordinates at 12:00 noon (the coordinates are for the Centennial
Middle School parking lot). The event coordinator (that's me,
jambro) will have a list of 7 temporary caches in the North Metro
area. Each cache will contain only a supply of envelopes, inside of
each will be one playing card. The object is to visit as many of
the caches as you can, grab an envelope, and make your best poker
hand - it's that easy!
I will have a complete list of the rules on the day of the event,
so don't stress too much. I would advise to load up your GPSr with
plenty of North Metro caches, especially if you don't get up this
way very often, as the temporary caches will be close to many
permanent ones - and what's an event without caching!
You are welcome to attend either the poker run, the dinner, or
both. Space is limited at Carbone's, so please sign up as soon as
possible. If we go over the limit (they can accomadate up to 40 of
us) I'll need enough time to find another place. When you log your
"Will Attend," please let me know which event(s) you are planning
to attend and how many of you there will be for dinner.
If you have any questions, you can post on the mngca.org forum
under the event thread, or email jambro through gc.com. Cache
on!
Update 3/20 - Here is a list of door prizes I currently have in my
hot little hand or that have been promised:
MnGCA gear: hooded sweatshirt, gray T, golf shirt, coffee mug,
logbook, magnets. Also, 4 MN geocoins, assorted other geocoins,
some unactivated TB bug tags, and a USB-serial connector.
Update 4/4 - we've officially gone over the limit of 40 for dinner.
After much begging and pleading, I was able to grab another 12
slots, so they can now accomodate 52 of us. My latest count shows
43, so hurry up and sign up before it's too late! Sign ups will
close on Thursday April 6th.
Update 4/7 OK we are finalized. Looks like about 44 for dinner and
43 for the Poker Run. I will be at the meeting site around 11:45
tomorrow, we'll brief at 12:00, and I'll probably stick around
until 12:30 or so for stragglers. If you need to get ahold of me,
I'll have my cell phone, the number is 651-792-5817. Looking
forward to seeing everybody!
