Well, you do need an invitation, but since I'm sure several of us have
wanted to meet you for some time, here it is. Send an email to:

spca-wascaerfrig-subscribe at yahoogroups.com

and I'll put you on our List, so you can get to know the rest of the crew.

Rules are pretty easy- pre-reg with us, plan on cooking a supper while
you're there, preferably period (we'll have most of the supplies- if you
want something exotic, you'll hafta bring or buy it) and be ready to help
where needed.

We do have a scullery crew, so that's handled, but there are times we need
help. The week you'll be there will be set up, so we might need some help
putting up tents or for a storage locker or grocery store run- it depends on
circumstances.

Specific things you need to know are that the earliest you'll be able to get
in and set up camp will be about noon on Saturday, August 2nd, and we'll be
feeding our entire camping block that evening, camp fees are about $15 per
adult, food fees are usually about $60 per adult, and, since several of us
have no kids of our own, you'll hafta keep an eye out for kid unfriendly
situations- we'll all try, but we just aren't habitual child care people.

We're generally a quiet camp, with quiet neighbors, and the two nearby noisy
parties are usually the second week.
