Smoke Signals for the Mighty Creek

Creek Chief SEZ:

I've been a little busy with working some O.T. for the closing of my (employment w/ SGS) maintenance contract at KSC. I would like to get together Wednesday night (8-20-08) around 7:00 PM at Coconuts on the beach, providing its okay with George. I would like to discuss various items for next fall's camping season and bring everyone up to date on the Nation's agenda (see attached) from the August meeting. Also, I've purchased a trailer fro $1,600.00 with the help of Geoff, Tom, and Richard. It is a 2005 Cargo South 6x12x6 covered utility trailer. Therefore, at the meeting we need to decide about trailer modifications (i.e. shelving, etc...) and graphics to be applied on the sides. Attached is a roster which I would like update by all as we have to provide it to the Nation. See all of you next Thursday.
