Lots happening:
Things are still looking good. We have a number of smaller things going
on and some new volunteers, please see below.
Mindy and Michelle, please let us know the status on your activities,
see Laundry List.
Thanks to everybody who have sent in updates.
I would like to ask all to please look over the schedule as it sits and
do a sanity check for times. Are any times obviously improper? Are any
moves or segues too tight?
Edy, Nora, Cheryl, Cyndi, Diane. Please be sure to look for your names
below as you have volunteers to assist with various things.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Laundry List:
Bowling? Michelle (NV)? Is this happening? Need location, price, and
method of payment, and any other hoop jumps. Going twice. Michelle,
can we have a GO or NO-GO on this, please?
. . . . .
Golf? Mindy? We need price and payment information, also please confirm
the time.
. . . . .
All: Local NSD alternative? Cindy has volunteered to host a drink-out
at Goodtimes, but we'll probably need something that starts before
that, either Goodtimes or elsewhere. Ideas? Volunteers?

Dragapella and barhopping:

I am planning on something extremely informal. Will probably start at
Freezone, since it's right by Milano's and well known. I was gonna
play it totally by ear, depending on who wanted to go where, when.
True barhopping is kinda hard to schedule. :) ("Ok, ladies, drink up,
we're due over at Flex in 15 minutes ...") :)
>Doesn't have to be timed, but if you can say something like 'We'll be

What's probably better is for you to designate an after-Dragapella bar
at a certain time and to have the crawl then plan to join you and your
group at that particular time.

Border Grill:

>I was doing some web surfing and came across this blurb:
+The finest lesbian chef in the world, as voted by Out Traveler

+Hot Tamales" of Food Network fame. Their Las Vegas restaurant Border

Ok, let me add this to the options. When activity sign-up happens,
if you don't get as many as you want, you'll have the option of
cancelling.

Dinner and golf:
Yvonne writes:
>Hello
Hi, Y! :)
>Did miss a email.... for sunday its changed from Palace Station to Hard
>Rock?
That discussion appeared in the mailing sent out last Friday. Here's a
cut-paste of the thread:
+>>Also, if somebody wants to suggest either for a farewell dinner on
+>>Sunday in lieu of Palace Station Buffet, I'm not gonna be terribly
+>>disappointed.
+>I'm not sure where to go, but I think we can do better than Palace
+>Station.
+Oh yes, I *KNOW* we can do better than Palace Station. :)
+>Where did we do Sunday farewell dinner in the past?
+Uh, usually it's been Palace Station. :)
+>Maybe Hard Rock Cafe would work.
+Actually, I like that idea. My guess is that we'll have a smaller group
+on Sunday evening, and we can just go in and get available tables and
+order off the menu.
+If there are no objections (speak now) I'll change the venue to Hard
+Rock for Sunday evening dinner.
+I'm also gonna put down HRC for Happy Hour at 6:00pm on Sunday.
Any concerns about moving this to HR?

list, it's on line at: http://www.geekbabe.com/annie/org06arc/
>Golf at the Bellagio Buffet now? :)
Well, we could move it back to the Sahara Buffet if you think that would
work better.
