GAMES NIGHT:
During the games night we will have a game called Derby Dice. Derby Dice is played with dice and a roll of dimes. Bob our De Anza host will run the game. We will need to play in couples otherwise the game could run on for a long time. You might walk away with all the dimes in play. We will have a few (9) rolls of dimes available for those who might not have the dimes.
What to bring: a $5.00 roll of dimes and your beverage of choice and be ready to have a great time.
BUFFET BREAKFAST:
After reviewing our budget for this rally we have a few extra $'s, so the chapter is going to cover the sales tax and gratuity for the Saturday breakfast. The cost for each plate will be $10.00. Payment for breakfast will be collected at registration.
A new addition to the rally schedule:
On Friday 10/12 from 8:00 am until 3:30 pm La Mesa RV from Tucson will display 3 Heartland coaches. In the morning La Mesa will provide coffee and pastry for our rally and all park residents and in the afternoon hours ice cream will be served as well.
Great news – the observatory tour is on and it’s free. We have been working on a firm commitment by the observatory to provide a tour of the mountain top facility. The holdup has been due to construction and maintenance on the road to the summit. The construction is not complete all the way to the top so we will only be able to tour the ridge top facilities which still offer spectacular views. This will be a shorter tour of approx. 3 1/2 hours so the bus will return us to the base camp and visitor center at around 12:30 PM. There is a picnic area at the base camp if you wish to bring a sack lunch after the tour. The visitor center at base camp offers interpretive displays and a small gift shop. The volunteers in the visitor center will answer your questions and offer their knowledge of the entire complex. We have had several cancellations which have opened 12 seats on the bus to the observatory. If you wish to go on this excursion please let me know and I will add you to the tour.
The weather is not looking real good on Friday. We are trying to contact the observatory to see how we could be affected.
Please plan on carpooling due to limited parking at base camp.
