If you can't host
your meeting date, please find a replacement to
host.
Our tribe has booked the Patrick Henry YMCA in Ashland
(the one with the pool)
for every Sunday Meeting till June, so unless you want to use
your house or another location instead, we can meet there every month at no charge,
and use the facilities and rooms. We have to let them know if we
intend to use the pool so there are enough
lifeguards.

MONTHLY MEETING

SNOW TUBING at WINTERGREEN RESORT
This was canceled due to snow, so
there was no snow tubing. Ironic isn't it.
Was to be hosted by Bigfoot
(Richard Owen)
Richard usually buys the package of tickets and you can
pay Richard directly.
Price was either $20 or $26 per person depending on
how many people sign up.
CAR POOLERS AND
CARAVANERS: planned to leave
the Milestone Clubhouse parking lot at 7:30am sharp on 1/30. Our
session was from
10AM till Noon for our
group. That would have required a no later than 7:30AM
departure from the milestone clubhouse if you want to
car pool or caravan it together. While that requires an
earlier rise, we would have been home by 2:30PM
Wintergreen Resort (check
out the website below)
http://www.wintergreenresort.com/ski_and_ride/tubing.aspx
2 Hour session and you
must be 42 inches tall (recommended for 6 and up).

Monday, December 14th |
tribe
meeting
Gather at the Milestone clubhouse at 5:45pm.
Convene for a brief meeting at 6pm.
We need to leave the parking lot promptly by
6:30pm.
Carpooling recommended. Princesses are encouraged to
invite princesses or braves from other tribes to help
them earn their blue claw.
Other family members and friends are welcome as
well.
At
6:30pm we head out for the main event
Lewis
Ginter Botanical Garden, GardenFest of Lights 2009
Nightly 5 - 10 p.m.
“The
show features more than a half million lights arranged
in botanical themes throughout the Garden”
Cost:·General
Admission: $10 adults; $6 children (ages 3 – 12)
Garden Members: $5 adults;
$4 child on membership
(ages 3 – 18)
Folks
can also choose to participate in Merry Monday @
7:30 p.m.
Here’s the description:
Garden Keeper leads story time
fireside with Santa “sightings” in the Conservatory.
Visitor's receive a free s'more kit to enjoy at
the fire. Presented By Ukrop's.
Once there, it's up to the Big Braves to tend their own
and determine how long to stay...
Here are directions to Lewis Ginter if you become
separated from the caravan or must come late:
From I-95 South take Exit 83B, the Parham Road (West)
exit
On Parham, quickly get into your far left lane. At the
second stoplight, take a left onto Brook Road (AKA Rt 1
South).
At the third stoplight, take a right onto Lakeside
Avenue. (There’s a brown Lewis Ginter sign at the
light).
As you go down Lakeside Avenue, the Garden entrance will
be to your right just prior to the Hilliard Road
intersection.
Note:
if it’s rainy, that’ll pretty much mean we’ll have to
forego this event.
It’s basically all outdoors and the timing is
such that it won’t be possible to reschedule.
So we can still
meet at the clubhouse since I’ve got it, but it’ll be
more of a ‘catch up’ meeting than anything else.
I’ll be up there since I booked the place!
