Georgia Instructor Holiday Party (December 16th)

[Roswell]

Friends,

We are having a Party!

Who?
For the Georgia Instructor Cadre and their families, as well as a few token border raiders and their families!

What?
Potluck dinner. Please reply either in thread or PM me if you are coming and let me know how many are in your group, including you and what you are bringing. There is an attached sign up list to help give you ideas. I'll update it in this thread periodically.

When?
Saturday, December 16th, 2023 at 6:00 PM EST - Upacreek pointed out that this will be the 250th Anniversary of the Boston Tea Party! 

Where?
6Bones has graciously agreed to act as host and open up his office's doors to us. The address is below. 

CPL
615 Molly Lane
Woodstock, Georgia 30189

Why?
We shouldn't need a reason to get together, but there are SO MANY.
1) It's been way too long since we got together and just hung out. No shooters. No pressure. Some of us haven't even met each other.
2) Our families also give up a lot for us to do what we do. It is nice to do something for them to celebrate what they do. It will be great for everyone to meet. Then they will know we are real. 
3) 250th Anniversary of the Boston Tea Party!!! (Coincidentally, I'll be bringing 2 gallons of sweet tea to the party.  )
4) Christmas/Holiday/New Year take your pick. Tis' the season to party down.   
5) Show off your culinary skills.

I could go on, but you get it. 

How?
6Bones said that his office has a pretty well stocked kitchen and we can use the following:
- Grill
- Blackstone
- Smoker
- Microwave
- Toaster Oven
- Refrigerators
- Bring your own crockpot and plug in if you need to.

I hope to see you there!

Roswell

Wohoo!  I hope everyone can make it.  Thank you, 6Bones!

I'm pretty sure our forefathers would be dumping that sweet tea for the abomination that it is.

Ok, now you're just trying to get un-invited.

UPDATE

6Bones came up with a great idea of also having an Appleseed White Elephant Party. To play, do not spend any money. Instead wrap up some piece of gear or something you don't want or use. Maybe a holster for a firearm you don't have or weird magazine or whatever. Should be a lot of fun and I'm sure everyone has something in their gear stock they don't use anymore or bought and never did use.

Ross - Can you put me on the signup for a pan of my decadent Smoked Mac n cheese? Please?

I saw Charles (Wiley) also wanted to bring M-n-C, and I replied to try to change his mind, but haven't heard back

[Gator0246]

There can never be to much Mac n Cheese.

The post above is up to date. See everyone tomorrow!

Thanks again 6Bones for hosting!

[upacreek]

Veggies, not fudge from me.  Sugar is from a vegetable though, so close. Sorry for the confusion, Roswell.  Thanks for organizing all this!

Fixed! 

[ScubaSteve]

Bummer. I was good with 2 things of Fudge!

[Roswell]

WOW! What an awesome success this was! Definitely a new tradition we will be repeating. Everyone did an awesome job on the food. Great turn out. Appleseed White Elephant was a hit. All around a major success. Once again, HUGE Shout out to 6Bones for hosting!

I do have a few regrets though...
- I wish there had been more time to spend with each of you. I felt rushed and not even sure I got to talk to everyone with everything going on. I love you all and was so happy to see so many people turn out.
- My second regret is that I wish i had a bigger stomach, because oh my goodness there was SO MUCH food! And all so very good. Special shout out to Steve for driving all the way from Florida and firing up the grill and warming up some amazing ribs.
- Lastly, I can't believe we didn't get a group picture! Major missed opportunity. Next time.


While we didn't get a group picture, my wife did get a few and so did 6Bones. So, without further adieu...

That was fun! I would like to add a hearty "Thank You" to Roswell for setting this up and coordinating the guest list and food list. Huzzah!

[Roswell]

Thanks brother! Happy to do it!
