Important Announcement:  
Due to an almost zero sign up for the "Optional Meal Plan", Shady Pines Campground has unfortunately cancelled the Optional meals. Shady Pines requires about 40 people per meal to sign up and they only had one or two for just part of the meal plans. Therefore the two or three people who signed up for the optional meals will get a full refund.  

We are sorry for this inconvenience but the small number of people who signed up just didn't make it feasible to do the optional meals. However, all seven Club Registration provided meals are still a go (Friday night dinners, Saturday Pizzas, Spaghetti dinner, and the two breakfasts).  

Also, we would ask all our participants who have yet to get your Club Registration Forms and Checks mailed out to do so this week so we can have the proper time to get all this to the bank and get your badges & meal coupons pulled together for you before we go to SSP.
