National Youth Science Camp.

Hi Gang! We are looking for volunteers for this years Science camp weekend, I know the date could cause some problems but there really was not a better weekend considering what the boy scouts are doing in the area this year. Please take a look and see if you can make it and let me know if you will be joining us this year, also will need to barrow equipment again, Last year we were able to supply most everybody with good up to date equipment and I really appreciated that… very nice!

Scott Meadows was first to sign on as he is every year it seems. Thanks Scott! Always very supportive, So Check your dates and come out and show your support for a great program that we have been fortunate enough to be part of for many years… Good Stuff!!!

Thanks

Charlie Redington

[Tom Connelly]

Bridget and I will be there both days with extra boats and equipment. We filled out and submitted the form with details.

[Charlie Redington]

Thanks to my 20.00 friends,
this post started off rough but seems to rebounding a bit... thanks for all the offers of equipment and help...sounds like it could be a little more challenging to get the people needed for this event but I am sure like in past NYSC events it will all come together.

For those of you that are volunteering I still need you to fill out the form to keep it all official please.

[Dan Waller]

Ok, I have been approved to submit leave for the 5,6,7, of July. I'm going to buy a complete set of gear for my Dagger boat so my daughter (15 yo) can start using it but that will not be til the end of the summer as she is currently doing Upward Bound at WVSU. So I'll have a boat with gear to provide, plus I can help and you can use my band new 6' X 12' box trailer to haul boats. Call me if there is anything else I can do to help. Best time to call is at night since I'm back on the road and currently on night shift. Later Danno

[Charlie Redington]

Thanks Dan and everyone else who have said they will be there already. At this point I have receive 3 official sign up forms and 9 verbals. We are coming down to it and I would like to ask everyone who knows they are going to participate to get your forms in please and all the wrest of you who are always there I will be calling asking for your help. Thanks again to all the folks who come out for this event year after year....talk to you soon....lets go boating!

[Lauren Beyer]

Volunteers can bring their forms to the Club Meeting & Pool Session tonight at Ridgewood Pool, if that's easier/faster than mailing. You can also fill out the form online. You can find a link to both the online form or to print out the form HERE. (If you need directions to the Ridgewood Pool, look at the Roll Sessions section on the Calendar.)

[Tony Daniel]

Hey Charlie filled out the form and thought I had marked I'd help with River Activities but it says no on my form so I must of messed it up. I'll be there to help on the river both days.

[Charlie Redington]

Hey Gang! During the meeting last night it came to my attention that for one reason or another I am not getting all the forms people have filled out and sent in to me. I have checked my junk box and there are no over looked forms in there.
Since the meeting Tom and Bridget have sent there info the old fashion way via E-mail.
As of now I have forms from the following people:
Scott Meadows,Matt Thompson,Harry Netzer,Tom & Bridget, David & Marylin,Dan Waller,Wes & Linda,Chuck & Nancy, lets go boating!
Have about as many fully outfit ed loaner boats or duckies
I would like to ask that if you do not see your name on the list but know you have filled a form out and sent it in or would have been planning on filling one out that you please send me an email stating just that and if you have extra gear to bring add that to your contact. ( Thanks)

MARKING AND IDENTIFYING EXTRA LOANER GEAR
As far as extra gear goes, last year I found some bright green zip ties and attached it to all the gear I brought with me and it was very easy to identify my gear at the end of the day / weekend. Having your name on your gear works as well if it does not wash off. ( a bit more challenging to identify sometimes but it works better than nothing)
If you want it back ..put your sign on it!
Thanks Everyone!

[Charlie Redington]

We have 17 volunteers for Saturday and 17 volunteers for Sunday / 19 boats / 2 sit on top / 3 inflatables

Sorry! It is rather obvious I am not taking enough time with my post…I try not to be on my work pc for very long and I miss a lot of detail.

Our goal is to get 30 volunteers to guide 30 Campers down the river each day. Still need boats...So we are better than half way there. I understand this is a holiday weekend and strictly voluntary.

Thanks to all who have come out in the past to help make this a wonderful event...Can't stress that enough!
lets go boating!

[Angie Rosser]

Charlie, sorry I'm out of town and can't transport but I have 2 boats to offer if someone can and wants to get them (and bring them back).

[Andrew Gillespie]

Charlie I have my Duckie sitting in the garage collecting dust if you want to use it or need it I'm going to pull it down and check the valves and such today I could meet you with it if needed. I will update on the status of it tomorrow afternoon.

[Andy Reese]

Hi Gang!

I had a paddle go MIA last year (or the year before?)

So can folks check their spare gear for a *big* Norse paddle, white blades/red shaft, with the name "REESE" emblazed upon it.

I will be assisting on 7/7 only.


Thanks!

-Andy

[Charlie Redington]

Andy i got your nors paddle and pfd...i think you took the helmet back last yeat...good condition
..lets go boating!
Andrew! Thanks ...o got several inflatables...kid really want the hard boats..and i got an offer of 5 more hard boats today....so boats are covered...i believe gear is covered...but we sure could use you as a guide if you have spare time...good stuff...thanks everyone its going to be another beautiful day in west by GOD Virginia!
Can not say it enough! Thanks to all my 20.00 friends

[Andrew Gillespie]

Charlie let me think overnight and I can give you a for sure tomorrow.(Plus have to talk it over with the wife) I have to debate how much sleep I will be getting if I come up to help.. Working nights really does afford me the spare time during the day provided I can catch a few hours to nap before hitting the river and getting back to work. If you could give me ballpark river times that would be a great help in planning for me. Email [e-mail] phone [phone]

[Dan Waller]

Are right Charlie, I got my Dagger Outlaw with a full set of gear (the works) for you to use. The gear I bought for my teenage daughter so I hope it well fit a student well enough. Plus I can go on the water with you guys in my Remix. And as stated before, I have a band new 6' x 12' box trailer that can securely haul 20+ boats. I'm off Friday and would like to get to the camp site early and setup. So where is the camp site again????? If its the Army Camp site I know how to get there. Anywhere else I'm kinda lost.....

[Dan Waller]

Also, if you need the trailer before then to collect, store and secure boats and/or gear. It's all yours, just let me know. Danno
