for the first time
We will be having a special auction at the picnic on some hard to come by items. These items were generously donated to the club to help fund raising by club member James Root. The club thanks you Rootsy!

This is a partial list all of the items will be auctioned off

a Morse shifter knob
assorted perko deck hardware including
nav lights, drain plugs, switches and
some merc parts.

I will be adding some of my spare project parts as well.

we will post up a complete list of the items with pics shortly , if you are interested in an item let us know and we can arrange a phone call during the bidding.

[mattyboy]

just a week away

the calendars are in and they are awesome they will be available at the picnic and are the perfect stocking stuffer.

The weather looks to be great and even if it turns wild like last year Our New Venue will able to host us in comfort and style.

Cool beans!

BTW - Matty, I have about a 2" thick file of Donzi related stuff Tony Sporer recently sent to me. I'll bring it up.

[RockyS18]

What's the agenda for the event? Such as times I should be at certain places.

:crossfing: for good weather

[mattyboy]

We will be at twin bay village from noon on Saturday some people are pulling in today at various times. So if you are out there swing by. Twin bay is the bay just north of the Algonquin and Chics.

Well the truck is packed and we may or may not have a boat behind it! Fingers crossed. But like you said, Matty, any weekend in lake George is better than a weekend anywhere else! We'll be there and hope to meet some cool people, have a great time, and see plenty of Donzis! We're heading out from north Jersey at about 7 tonight, so we expect to be there before 11.

Seeya then!,
Matt

I'm cruising down by boat and shooting for noonish. Hopefully it's not as rough as it's been the last 2 years for the picnic.

[mattyboy]

The club would like to thank all who came. It was a great time with good friends and food. I'll post a recap and some pics when I get home

[jl1962]

I'll kick it off, Matty

A great weekend w/ old friends and lots of new.

Great food (what was in that London Broil marinade?) and great boating, well a few sprinkles Saturday afternoon and a little rough Sunday AM. But Friday PM and Saturday AM were awesome. And I managed a ride on the Saris Racing (recently retired) Kryptonite - Thanks, Johnny!

Here are a few pix, David and Nora's most excellent Cig 20 (thanks for the ride), Red Boat calm (Saturday AM) and Red Boat snotty (Sunday AM)

Double Vision?

Not on Lake George - plenty of old Donzis. Here is my boat w/ Patrick's boat. Crawled up forward to try to get a hull #, maybe 414, but too many screws in the way.

Big thanks of course to Scott and Tammy and Matty and Marie for doing all the heavy lifting!

[mattyboy]

a few random thoughts

it was a great weekend nice to see old friends and to meet new ones


Jay thanks to you and all who came up.

It was made plainly clear to me Marie likes two stripes more than one

the new venue was great when the temp drops to 35 degrees or it decides to rain at bit during the day

sometimes I forget how picturesque the lake really is

BEEF it's what's for dinner

[mattyboy]

some more
