Other assorted goodness

BLT's:
Ty has gone and ordered some sweet T-shirts for the 1st Annual Broylmpics. If you are interested in one (and why wouldn't you) bring $20 to help pay.

Location
We will be starting our events over at Lenker Park in West Hanover Twp. (about a 2 minute drive from Ty's) Here are the directions to the Mountainview Swim Club swimming pool beside the park that I pulled off of an online pamphlet for the pool (should be legit):


From I-81: Take Manada Hill/Route 39
exit #77. Turn left onto Rt. 39 if coming
from North; right if coming from South.
Approx. ¼ mile, make right at light onto
Jonestown Road. Follow about 1 mile to
Manor Drive. Make right onto Manor,
pool on left next to Lenker Park.

From Rt. 22 East: Follow to light at
Manor Drive (Jo Jo's Pizza). Turn right
onto Manor Drive going past Jo Jo’s.
Follow thru 2 stop signs. Pool on left next
to Lenker Park.

From Rt. 22 West: Follow to Mountain
Road (Karn's on right). At third light past
Karn's, make left onto (old) Jonestown
Road. Immediately bear right, follow
approx. 1 mile and make left onto Manor
Drive. Pool on left next to Lenker Park.


From memory and based on these directions, the park is in this general area:

ODDS and ENDS:

1. Anyone have access to a door/ big table for beer pong? If not I'll get some plywood, or bring our front door.

2. There was talk of everyone bringing something to eat and a drink of their choice. Chris has offered to bring some donuts for the opening ceremonies breakfast. My wife can be convinced to make a breakfast caserole filled with meats, cheese and egg if anyone would be interested in that. As for food for the rest of the day, we need to have a discussion.

3. A decision needs to be made. Does everyone bring some beer, or do we chip in for a keg?

4. Schedule and more details to follow. Lets get some chatter and discussion going either in the comments section here or in the group emails.
