------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALLING ALL INTREPID ADVENTUROUS GRADUATES (AND SOME WHO LIKE A LITTLE PAMPERING) To get on the camp-out list, call Berkeley at 682-2946 to see if there's room. Once confirmed, please send a $10.00 check made out to The Graduates, to Roger Hoyt. Camp out update: The graduate camp-out is scheduled for August 25 at the home of Berkeley and Mike in Ojai. For those of you who have participated in the camp-out in previous years, this is a much more civilized venue (indoor bathrooms, swimming pool, telephone, etc.). However, we are still camping out! Dinner will be a barbecue, cocktail hour will be outdoors around or in the pool, we will have a campfire, singing, "somemores", sleeping under the stars, and a camp breakfast prepared by the fantastic breakfast committee. We are planning a meeting to get committees organized and the weekend planned to be unforgettable! So far we have 20 campers signed up. We are limiting attendance to 25, so there is room for a few more. The planning meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 31, at the Santa Barbara home of Berkeley and Mike. Please RSVP for this planning meeting. We have found that the more campers get involved in planning, the more spectacular the event. We are building a breakfast committee, a dinner committee, and an entertainment committee. We hope all campers will attend
at Bberkeley and Mike’s Hope Ranch home. When you call to RSVP, Berkeley
will give you directions. P.S. The stars are spectacular in the countryside
in Ojai! And we are often serenaded by coyotes. (However, the campground
is fenced, so they serenade from a distance.)
WE HAVE HAD A PLANNING MEETING AND NOW HAVE A DINNER COMMITTEE, BREAKFAST COMMITTEE AND ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE. IF YOU HAVE GREAT IDEAS TO SHARE WITH ANY OF THESE COMMITTEES, CONTACT GINNY DOEHLER FOR BREAKFAST, DARLENE AMUNDSEN FOR DINNER, OR NORM JACOBS FOR ENTERTAINMENT. HERE IS SOME GENERAL INFORMATION TO ALL CAMPERS: EACH CAMPER MUST BRING SLEEPING SUPPLIES, SUCH AS FUTON OR AIR MATTRESS, SLEEPING BAGS, TENT (OPTIONAL), PILLOW, FOLDING CAMP CHAIR, FLASHLIGHT, BUGSPRAY (OPTIONAL). IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO USE THE POOL YOU PROBABLY WILL WANT TO BRING SWIM CLOTHES AND A TOWEL. FOR WASHING UP, YOU MAY WANT A HAND TOWEL AND OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS. A JACKET IS RECOMMENDED FOR EVENING ACTIVITIES. ALTHOUGH THE DAYS ARE USUALLY QUITE WARM IN THE SUMMER (OFTEN IN THE 90s), THE NIGHTS CAN GET CHILLY. EVERYONE IS ASKED TO BRING THEIR OWN ENTRÉE TO BARBECUE MEAT, FISH, WHATEVER PLUS ONE DISH TO SHARE: EITHER AN APPETIZER, SALAD, OR DESSERT. SINCE WE WILL HAVE ABOUT 32 CAMPERS, THE SHARED DISH SHOULD SERVE 10-12, AND WE ASK THAT COUPLES BRING A LARGER AMOUNT TO SHARE THAN SINGLES, DOUBLING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE YOUR DISH WILL SERVE. ALSO PLEASE BRING WHATEVER BEVERAGES/ALCOLHOL YOU WANT TO DRINK. PLATES, CUPS AND GLASSES, UTENSILS, NAPKINS, WATER, COFFEE, TEA, SOMEMORES, AND BREAKFAST WILL BE PROVIDED. ALSO CORN ON THE COB AND BAKED BEANS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH DINNER. FIREWOOD, STARTER, AND CHARCOAL WILL BE PROVIDED. PLEASE CONTACT POLLY CLEMENT AT TO TELL HER WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO SHARE, AS SHE IS IN CHARGE OF BEING SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH APPETIZERS, SALADS, AND DESSERTS. IF ANY OF YOU HAVE A PORTABLE BARBECUE YOU COULD BRING, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL BUT NOT NECESSARY. A FEW EXTRA LONG HANDLED SPATULAS, SPOONS, FORKS WOULD BE HELPFUL TOO. ALSO YOU MIGHT WANT TO BRING AN ICE CHEST TO KEEP YOUR FOOD AND BEVERAGES COLD. PLEASE PLAN ON ARRIVING ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, SOMETIME BETWEEN 4 AND 5 P.M. THE FIRST FEW HOURS WILL BE TIME FOR SETTING UP YOUR CAMP, SWIMMING, VISITING, MUNCHING, AND DRINKING. THEN WE'LL BARBECUE, EAT OUTSIDE, AND ENJOY A CAMPFIRE AND ENTERTAINMENT BEFORE SLEEPING UNDER THE STARS, POSSIBLY TO THE MUSICAL ACCOMPANYMENT OF A FEW COYOTES. THE BREAKFAST COMMITTEE WILL PROVIDE US WITH A FABULOUS BREAKFAST ABOUT 8 A.M. AN EASY THREE MILE HIKE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ALL INTERESTED IN THE MORNING, POSSIBLY BEFORE BREAKFAST, WHEN IT IS STILL COOL. HIKING IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN LAS PADRES FORREST, NEARBY. THOSE LESS ADVENTUROUS MIGHT PREFER TO EXPLORE THE CHARMING VILLAGE OF OJAI AFTER MORNING ACTIVITIES AND BREAKING CAMP. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF A GENERAL NATURE, PLEASE CONTACT BERKELEY. IF
YOU HAVE NOT YET SENT YOUR $10 PER PERSON TO COVER CAMPOUT COSTS TO ROGER
