This is the space where the list will appear...just like last year. Sandy will be controlling the "Master List"...since he's the webmaster. I'll attempt to keep it updated on here! Check back frequently as campers and site numbers change often!
Please send me a PM with the day you'll be arriving listed in the subject line (this is to facilitate planning of the hot dog cookout and the pancake breakfast). Also...you can start sending photos and hometowns to Sandy and Shirley for the website and map. THANKS!!

Drop off a small ($5-10) wrapped gift for your child anytime before Sat's

We'll be doing the logo for next year along with the name tags and site markers.
As soon as we get something together I'll post it here.
We'll also be doing the "Treasure Hunt" for the kids on Saturday,
more on that later.

With the Rally drawing nearer, I figured it was time for me to bring up those activities that I will be hosting. Because of its success the past 2 years, Candy Bar Bingo will return. For anyone who doesn’t know, the rules are simple. I will supply all the bingo cards you want, but your payment to me is one candy bar per board. You may have as many boards as you wish. I seem to remember a small group with about fifteen boards among themselves! (not to mention any names….Dynamic Duo… HereWeGo). The more boards you have, the greater your chance of winning… you guessed it, Candy Bars! Those bars that you give up as payment will be the prizes to the winners. Depending on the game, whether it’s a standard Bingo or something like Four Corners or a Cover the Board, the number of candy bars given away as prizes will change. The total number of bars I receive will help to determine just how many games will be played and how many bars will be given away as prizes.
One thing I did last year that everyone who participated in seemed to enjoy very much was Tie-Dye. I am definitely looking forward to doing this again this year. I will supply all of the dye and rubber bands and such, all you have to bring is something to dye (a clothes hanger will also be useful to help with the drying process). There are only a few simple rules I wish to suggest. The biggest one is this—any young children who wish to participate are urged to have an adult present with them. I had a fairly large turnout last year, and cannot keep an eye on everyone at once. This is a simple enough rule because even the parents had a blast. The other rule—just have fun!
Now, I understand that most of the activities that will take place are going to be held in the indoor pavilion. This works fine for the Candy Bar Bingo, but might get a little messy for the Tie-Dye. My suggestion is that I will have the Tie-Dye at the open pavilion, where it was held last year. This seemed to work well, and any potential messes that may occur shouldn’t be too serious because we did everything in the grass.
If anyone knows that they will be participating in one or both of my activities, please let me know that way I can try to get a rough count of how many supplies I will need, especially for Tie-Dye. Just send me a PM with the number of people participating and I will add you to my list. If you’re not sure, don’t worry. Just let me know you have an interest. It’s always better to have too much than too little.
I am open to suggestions for what days to have my activities and about how much time will be needed to get everything done. In the past, Candy Bar Bingo has been held at night and lasted until we ran out of stuff. Tie-Dye was held in the afternoon for about 2 hours. Anyone with ideas please PM me. I’m not sure what else is going on and what everyone is interested in doing. Thanks
So, our countdown is, what, like 53 days until the Thursday check in?? I’m very excited and can’t wait to see everyone again. Until then, Nicole.

I want to thank you good folks for starting another long thread about you annual gathering in Gettysburg. Your last thread had 142,872 views with 12,518 replies. My question is this a record for the longest running thread on this forum? I can not wait to see how many views a new adventure for your group will garner this year. Have a great event and I will keeping reading as it is like being a nosey nieghbor to see what your folks are up to in Gettysburg.
If you look close, this years website background is a map of Pickett's Charge.
If any of the volunteers want anything posted, please contact me and I will get things updated for you.
There is also an administrator’s page that you can use to keep track of who is registered for which tour. Send me a PM and I will send you the link to that page.
I will also handle the tee shirts again. Just waiting for the new 2007 logo.
The 2006 rally raised $85 from the battlefield tour and another $76 from the tee shirts. I rounded that up to $200 and sent it off to the Freedom Alliance. This charity is run by Sean Hannity. I’m not sure if you agree with his politics, but 100% of the money contributed to the Freedom Alliance is used as a scholarship fund for the children of soldiers who gave their lives for our country. Regardless of the politics, I figured this was a proper use for cash raised at Gettysburg.
I cut the price of the tee shirts to the bone in 2006. $6 for most sizes and $7 for the XXL and bigger. Next year I plan to raise the price just a little, maybe a buck, so we can contribute more to charity.
I'm a vet and I believe strongly in helping the families of our fallen heroes. I will probably run a couple 50-50 raffles in 2007 so we can increase our donation even further, so be ready for me!
