July 14th Club Cookout

[FTGT101]

Club Cookout
With only seeing the 4th of july firewoks planned for July I figured this may be a good time to have a cookout.
Address: 350 Blume Rd Mooresville NC 28117
http://www.google.com/maps?q=350+Blume+Rd,+Mooresville,+NC+28117,+USA&sa=X&oi=map&ct=title
Time: We will commence the cooking at 5pm, but if anyone would like to show up earlier say 3-4 you are welcome to.
We would ask that everyone bring a dish. I would like to keep the list of who will attend only to keep the amount of food needed in line. If anyone has any suggestions speak up. If we have enough people we can always have 2 people bring the same item to cut down on cost. :D I will ask Mark to send out a club Email with my phone numbers in case someone from the club needs to contact me for directions or any other time in the future.:cool:

1. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs
2. Baked Beans
3. Potato Salad
4. Fruit and veggie's
5. Condiments and Buns
6. Chips and Dip
7. Drinks and Ice
8.Desert

1. Daniel & Rana

[minimark]

Have you got lake access?

[FTGT101]

There is Lake access by the house but I do not have a dock.

[Casper]

As of now, we are planning on coming - Carl & Pat.

[minianni]

The miniannis are a definite maybe. Dog just had minor surgery have to keep an eye on him.

Steve and Ann

[FTGT101]

Great Casper We will be glad to have you.

Minianni I hope you drop the maybe, you are welcome to bring your dog if he needs watching. I just went through that with the German Sheperd I have had for the last year. He will not be here for the cookout. My sister finally moved to a place that she can have a large dog. So she has requested his return.

[Casper]

Put us down for Item 8 (desert). We need a head count between now and then. Also, your phone number would be helpful - especially since we are coming from Roanoke, Va.

[Casper]

Regarding deserts - is anyone coming diabetic or have any food allergies?

[csc.rcc]

I'd like to come and bring some "3," or something similar to 3...

looking forward to it,
Lauren.

[1QukMINI]

We're there like Care Bear. We'll bring some chips and dip. Can't wait!

[Vango]

Jennifer and I plan to attend. Hey from the google map looks like some twisty roads...

[MINI Rog]

How far is this from Burlington?

[FTGT101]

Vango, sorry no real twisty's round here, but some really beautiful homes in the area and nice views of the lake.

Mini Rog, Not real sure about the time from Burlington, but it normally takes me a little over an hour to get into Winston. Of course this is with me driving.;)
I will email everyone with my phone number a couple of days before the cookout.

Daniel

[KillerKar]

I don't think I responded but Gary & I are planning to come! Looking forward to it!

Laura & Gary Carter

[Casper]

According to AAA
From Burlington to Blume Rd, Mooresville
99.1 miles; est. travel time 1 hr 56 min.

[tarlander]

Seems like I alway have something else in the works that can't be rescheduled. Have fun at the cookout and have a bite for me. I and wife will be in Edinburgh, Scotland the 14th. I'll hoist a pint for you all!

Tarlander

[Lou777]

Sad - Rick and I won't be there either. He's got to work, so that means I'm going home to see the parents and go for a float in the boat.

Have fun everybody!

[FTGT101]

Lou sorry you cannot attend, but if you change your mind come on it will be a fun time.

[FTGT101]

Griff and Becky I know you guys had to wait and check availability. I hope you can get out of any commitments.
I am going to try and get some time freed up from the honey do list and jump on making some signs to help guide everyone in, but it may not happen the boss is hott on my tail!:D

[MINI Rog]

Regretfully Donna & I will not be able to make it this weekend. Got more wedding preparations going on.

[simplygriff]

Daniel, I really appreciate the invitation but I've got plans to be in Asheville this weekend.

[FTGT101]

If my Brother will be in town I can get him to come by. He does the paintless dent repair. I will find out today. I do not know if anyone would actually need any or not, but I was planning on having him touch a couple of places on my M3 anyway.

Griff sorry you cannot make it. We have got to get together more. Maybe another twisssty drive soon?

Daniel

[minianni]

the minianni's will bring #4... Veggie tray and fruit!

[FTGT101]

Thanks Minianni glad you are coming.

[KillerKar]

OK yes to confirm Gary and I are coming but what do you need for us to bring that someone hasn't signed up for already? Let me know!

Laura

[FTGT101]

Drinks and Ice will be fine. Glad you can make it.

[Vango]

Daniel Jennifer and I will bring a desert. See ya in a bit.

[HPUdrew]

Hey Daniel, sorry I'm not able to make this event. I'm spending all day today getting things done around the house. Hope you guys have a great time though! Thanks for holding this. :)

Drew

[FTGT101]

See you guys soon.

Dru know what you mean I had this week off and have worked everyday, but boy what I got done this week is astonishing and a lil back breaking. One heck of a dent in the Honeydoo list.;)

[MidnightDave]

Shoot, Daniel, I thought I'd already posted on here that the wifey is off today, (unusual, it's usualy Thu/Fri), and we're having a "date" day today--I'm just getting a reprieve while she does her hair before we go to a FruFRu lunch downtown. ;-)

Anyway, I DO want to see your garage floor and will do so at the first chance, the pic's look great. Have fun, all and thanks for hosting this!

[Casper]

Okay, we should be on the road within a few minutes. According to AAA, it is a little over 3 hours from Roanoke to Blume Road. We should see you around 4:00 - give or take. After we cross the I-77/I-40 intersection, we will have our radio on 20/20.

[FTGT101]

Ahh good idea I will flip the radios on to the same. Thanks Casper.

[HPUdrew]

Daniel I'm actually going to try to make it. Today turned into one of those days where very little was actually accomplished, give me a call if I can bring anything. I'm riding down with Steve, Ann, Mark and his fam. Cya soon.

[minianni]

Alright Drew!!! see you at the house soon.

Steve

[FTGT101]

Great Drew glad it all turned around so you could come. I did put my 2 checkered flags at the end of the driveway as a marker and the Mini S is in the front yard.

[FTGT101]

Great turnout and some really great dishes. Thanks to everyone who came. We really enjoyed it. It was a pleasure. Hope we do this again. Shows us its not always just the Mini we love its the people as well. Bill let me know when and we will hit the garage floor.

Thanks Daniel

Thanks Daniel and Rana, it was great for us "more distant members" to have the opportunity to meet club members face to face. We had a great time and enjoyed meeting everyone.

We want to thank Rana and Daniel for opening their home for this event. We had a GREAT!!! time and it was good to meet some new faces.

[FTGT101]

I knew we were missing a Blue Mini. I started to email you the day before and did not I wish would have now.Maybe next time Jason.

Daniel

[1QukMINI]

jason

[KillerKar]

Just wanted to thank both of you for a splendid party! We really enjoyed it and it was kind of you to open your home to all of us! I'm uploading what pics I got of the day into my folder on here so if anyone wants to look, feel free. There is a pic of Chandler, too - the official MINI meet pooch! :)

Laura

[FTGT101]

We loved doing it. We will have to make this a common get together. It was a blast having all the Mini's in the yard. Next time we might even get Quk to make it. ;)
