The Port A trip is only a few weeks away, so it is time for some updates and notices...

If you are planning on attending this event, especially eating at the BBQ, please be sure to register HERE (http://www.marshreef.com/modules.php?name=Event_Registration&pa=event_info& ev_id=25) so we can get an accurate head count for the food ordered. If you don't register, you won't be allowed to eat. Also, if you would like a shirt for the trip for you and your family/guests, please make sure that you post HERE (http://www.marshreef.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=22307) so we can have one ordered for you. If you aren't sure if you have posted, please PM Isis ASAP.

We NEED Volunteers!!!
We need help transporting tables and chairs. If you have a vehicle that can hold something, please PM Isis or attend the July 14th MARSH club meeting, so we can get something arranged. There are a lot of chairs that need to be transported down there, along with several chairs, so your help would be appreciated. We are also in need of fire wood for the bon fire on Friday Night. If you would like to help bring wood, please let us know so we can plan for it.

If you would like to see what is going on for the trip, please see this thread (http://www.marshreef.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=22555) for the discussions. FireEater (Mark Pandanell) is also trying to organize a Texas Hold 'Em game on Friday Night, so if you are interested, please post here (http://www.marshreef.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=22756). BigBird123 (Bteve Byrd) is also trying to organize a dive trip, so please give him a PM if you are interested in that as well.

There are 4 rooms available at the Tarpon Inn (http://www.thetarponinn.com): #19, #20, #24 and the FDR Suite. There is one room available at the La Palma Villa (http://www.lapalmavilla.com/). And there are several double rooms available at the Captain's Quarters (http://www.portalodging.com/). If you are interested in any of the rooms, please PM Isis ASAP since once released back to the hotel, the price will go up.

The food that will be served will be from Rusty Jeep Hickory BBQ out of Port A:
brisket
pulled pork
german sausage
potato salad

+BBQ sauce (mild, hot)

We will also have the utensils and non-alcoholic drinks available. If you want to bring something for yourself, feel free. If you are a vegetarian, there are plenty of sides to choose from, but if you have a diet preference, don't hesitate to bring what you need.
