http://www.villanovarowing.com/knecht/laneAssignments.html

We are booked at the Crowne Plaza both Fri and Sat so will be at the tent by 6:45 Sat to help. We will be bringing the shredded cheese, eggs, muffins and chili. I plan to go to Costco before I head down on Friday so will check to see what else is still needed. As I recall the venue is all dirt/mud and heavy rain is predicted so I will bring a tarp for the ground.
Bill - Do you want us to bring an extra grill?
Pray that the weather forecast is wrong!!

Thanks

FYI the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza Hotel across from the venue that you recommended is now taking reservation for Friday night 4/11/08. Lisa and I are now booked there for Friday and Saturday.

Thanks
Bill

The start times for the races is not available online anywhere, but the general schedule is to have heats and semis on Saturday with the finals on Sunday morning. Last year, the frosh/novice 8+ was event #25 and the varsity 8+ was event #33, but I don't know if that is necessarily the order that they were started in. I will post on here as well as the schedule on the website as soon as we know the schedule, if we get one ahead of time.

Denis

Yes we are doing eggs on Saturday & Sunday. The Eldridge's are supplying the eggs for the event.

Thanks
Bill

Terry

Extra Hands are always welcome! We will be setting up for breakfast around 6:45 / 7:00 AM. If you can arrive by then that would be great.

Thanks for you help and support.

Bagel store opens at 6:45AM (with a little arm-twisting...). I should arrive at venue around 7-7:15AM.

Will bring cheese and other items to boathouse on Thurs.

I take it we're not doing eggs for breakfast....is that true?

Thanks,
Denis

We will be bringing them to the venue. Also, do you need anyone there early (to deal with breakfast, etc). If so, just let us know. Michele and I will be driving down from No Jersey.

Terry

Will you be bringing the items to the venue or dropping them off at the boat house?

Thanks for your help.

The gallon jugs of water will work. please brin the cheese to the boat house on Thursday. We will have cooler packed with ice (dry ice) to send up to Cherry Hill with the crew. Fresh Bagels sound good to me.

Thanks
Bill Faison

Bill --

I went ahead and bought some water this past weekend for the trip. Have currently:

2 cases of 35 bottles each
4 gallon jugs (no spouts)....is that OK?

Also have from Lake Lure trip (and still fresh):
3-lbs cheese of different varieties

I will pick up 3 dozen bagels, cream cheese, and all bread loaves in New Jersey. Found a great place that makes 'em all fresh, on my way to race venue.

One last question:
Do you want to pick up perishables in NJ on Friday evening? Or do we have a means of keeping food cold for the trailer-trip up there?
I'll have a fridge in my room in NJ, so either way works for me. I can also store items overnight if needed, and can pickup whatever is not shipped up on trailer, when I arrive on Friday.

Thanks,
Denis
