OK folks, it's official! Mr Bill has once again volunteered his home as a place of gathering for all CA Appleseed Instructors that are willing to make the drive. He lives in the Santa Clarita area and once I find out who's attending I will send you the addess, so make sure you reply here or send me a PM. It will be a pot luck dinner on Sunday, December 4th, 2011 at 4:00pm. Post here what dish you will be bringing. For the NorCal Instructors - it would be great if you all could get together on the same date and we could do a skype video call or some thing.


OK, this is what we have so far:

Bob 210 - side dish
V - ?
Camljr - side dish
Penny's dad - Green Chile
Cal 7.62 - ?
Rocketman - Lentil Kale Pasta
Mr Pete - spicy peanut pasta
Lock3 - Carnivore entree
Psych Doc - green salad
Justin - ?
Rock-chucker - venison
SS and JA - Ham and raw veggies
Francis Marion - cornbread
If ye love wealth better than liberty,the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom,go home from us.We ask not your counsels or arms.Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Hey Mr. Bill !!!

It was great to see you at Corona 210 but we didn't get a lot of time to socialize there. I'll certainly be there at your party to help out. Thanks for hosting us at your wonderful house.

Who else is going? Shout out here so we can plan out who's bringing what and help make this easy for Mr. Bill.

Cheers

Sounds like this will be fun as usual.

I will check our schedule before I commit. But, if we are available Johnnyappleseed and I will be there.

I will post what I am bringing after I am certain we will attend.

Just a thought, but next year could we schedule a hole in the AS schedule to make sure we have time to do this?  Just one weekend?  Hate to have an event conflict with the christmas party and I would consider going to a party wherever it is (even Santa Clarita), but I am scheduled up for that weekend.  AS christmas party vs appleseed event.  Shouldn't be a choice we have to make.

Just sayin.

I am planning on attending the 'Christmas Gathering' on the 4th.

I'll bring a carnivore entrée.

Also, I'm not sure if other so cal folks know about this; I found out from Cam. Maybe a message blast out to folks might inform them?

TowedJumper, Krahnic and I will be closing up Fresno.  I agree with him on keeping a date open.

Lixian and I will be there.  Will bring some venison, and perhaps something extra, depending on how things shape up.  Some pie, perhaps.  Gotta have pie!

Looking forward to seeing you all!

I miss you all terribly, and will miss this also.  After 4 years of no hiring, I am deep in the middle of our second academy of the year.  Perhaps next year I can attend more than 1 AS and hang out with you more...

JA and I will be there. We are bringing ham and a veggie thing we picked up at Sam's Club.

We will miss you TJ! DD! Mark! And all others who are handling the work so that we can have the fun. Thanks each of you.

Sespe, get back when you can. We miss you as well.

Also a few refreshments and some paper plates/cups/plastic cutlery as well....

See you shortly

Take a moment and remember the kind of man you chose to be when you got yourself out of that last scrape. Maybe you prayed that you would be different if he delivered you. Maybe you found hope here you thought unreachable. Do not concern yourself with anything 'els THAT. Make the mission first.

Well, we missed the party but instead we promoted California's newest Red Hat, JShoebot (Jeff).

Jeff did an excellent job today, easily proving that he is more than ready for his promotion.  A lot of you had a hand in helping Jeff along, and thanks to all of you for for the good work.

Congratulations Jeff!

We had to miss it also. I gave Bob a call... Sorry MrBill but we didn't want everyone to come down with what JA is on the verge of getting.

I am sure the party is going strong.

CONGRATULATIONS JShoebot!!!
