Hi Paul & Pam;

Good to hear from yoou once again.  Sorry to hear about Pam's Mom.  We are still in the "planning stage" as the resort HAS NOT YET BEEN chosen!  I will up-date this post as information is available.  Hope you two can mae it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey all; it's looking like Northern Lights will be the best bet so far to me. I'd prefer to be on the water also but things don't look good. We can defray the higher cost of our stay if we can get some members to group together a share the rates. I'm trying to get my son Jonathan to commit but havent heard from in since my visit to Michigan. Still waiting; but your welcome to join us Mike and Jim if you care to. Still a long way off; but never too soon to commit...Dennis/Papa_d "Go Brewers"... 

Pappy:

Read my e-mail to you & then decide!  If, in fact Northern Lights is going to be the place, the I would think cabin 6 would be better for EVERYONE.  It sleeps eight & would break down to $20 a night per person.  That could include Jim, Mike and Chuck as well.

Attention all interested members...Just talked to Doc on the phone. We need some plans started here concerning the 2009 Meet at Gwinn. Cozy Cabins are now up for grab and at a more than fair cost. $450.00 for a full week per cabin which sleeps 5 people. These cabins are right on the lake making accessability perfect for all. Boats can be kept right at your door; so to speak... I would like to see a show of interest for this meet. One thing of importantance here is that "Check In" time is at noon on Saturday. The owner will not change his mind on this. I thought that we all could meet at Lynn's Restraunt for breakfast, go fishing from there; and then check in at the cabins at or after noon. What we need to do ASAP is get a number of attendee's so reservastions can be made. As of right now there are no cabins rented in our time frame. The new meet dates will be from June 13 (saturday) thru June 20 (saturday)...You will not be commited to stay the entire week; but if you pay for it, Why not??? I hope we have a much bigger turn out than last year and that we continue on as one of the "First" in our part of the country. I would like to see all of those members in Michigan and Wisconsin that made the meet in the past. I'd also like to personnaly invite anyone that may like to join us. I'm sure there will be room for tents if all the cabin space is taken. Please join us for a great time of fishing and just meeting each other again or for the first time. Hope to see you there... Love in Christ; Dennis/Papa_d

Hi All:

Finally got it squared away with member services where I can post once again from my "duty station".  I agree with Pappy about getting some definite plans set for next year, and responses from ALL of you.  We can change the meet dates to start on the 13th in order to be at Cozy Cottages, that is not a problem,  don't think, and their prices are lower than Northern Lights.  Like Pappy said, at least you will be able to "keep your boats on the water" there.  Which Mike has stated that he "really, really, REALLY, Really, Likes".  The numbers to contact cozy Cottages are as follows:

906-226-8492 (After 8PM)  or Cell Phone 906-869-8492  give them a call and make sure you  an get a cabin.   You might want to "double check" on the cost.  The $450.00 is what he stated earlier this year.  Also I Do Not Know about tents at this location that is something else to check into.  Let's hear from you people, so we can at least get an idea of what 2009 may like look like!  Like Pappy said, I would hate to see this meet "fall by the way-side."

Pappy!

From the e-mail you sent me it does not sound very promising for next year, and if that's the way it falls, so be it.  There has been very little "interest" shown on this thread since it was posted.  Not even from the so-called "regulars". ????????????

ok, i i'm trying to make plans to make it this time. money is the #1 problem.

having a wedding the last weekend of may, in ohio [step daughter] is taking most of what i have.

if things work out that i make it, all i need is a place to pitch a tent and i'm good to go.
