Just finalized the details on this one! Since it's going to be one of only two Jefferson State Chapter Gatherings this year, we wanted to have it some place special!


June 7-11, 2012 Grants Pass, OREGON
Jefferson State Chapter of TearJerkers Birthday Bash 2012, celebrating 15 years of TearJerkers and several Members' birthdays, at the Riverpark RV Resort on the beautiful banks of the Rogue River near Grants Pass, OR, planning for sites 9-15 (riverfront) and D-K (opposite the riverfront sites with great views of the river), we've reserved #11; Group rates are $36/nite Riverfront, $30/nite non-Riverfront, all sites have full hook-ups, free WiFi, and 72 channels of cable TV; super clean restrooms & showers; call 541-479-0046 ASAP to reserve your spot as this park fills up fast, and don't forget to mention that you're with TearJerkers to get the group rate; Park website is http://riverparkrvresort.com/ Lots to see & do in the area including world-famous whitewater jet-boat rides, and fabulous fishing right there from the park (you can almost cast from your teardrop!). Please e-mail Kay to let her know you are coming and/or for further details: [email protected]

Kay's email address is wrong again. You told me it was an "MSN" and not "MAN. People will not be able to contact her unless they already know it. See you at the dam. :D

Thanks, Bruce! Fixed it!
Sure looks like there'll be a bunch of us there! Man, what a weekend we've got planned ... lots of food, friends, road-trip to Crater Lake on Saturday (free park admission that day!), whitewater jetboat ride on Sunday, birthday cakes & celebrations ... Jefferson State so rocks!
See you there!

As of right now, all available sites have been reserved ... :thumbsup: ... but if you are still thinking of coming out for this one, c'mon in ... we'll make room (we can double up, and each site is more than adequate for that) ...! Looking forward to seeing you there!

Just wondering, are there any 'planned events?' like a group pot luck dinner? Liz and I will be bringing some food we'd love to share with the group!

Sadly, our puppy will not be joining us, we just decided that it wasn't as much fun for her to ride in the car for hours at a time as it was for us to have her around so she'll be at home wiht grandma (a/k/a my mother.)

Still, we are super-excited to be going! This will be our first Teardrop gathering!

We decided that camping with the Tearjerkers was more fun than going to the coast, so we donated our cabin reservations to a family who otherwise wouldn't have had a chance to go. :thumbsup:
Cindy and I will be there Friday after work. CAN'T WAIT! :beer:

Hi, Martin & Liz!

We usually do a group potluck Friday & Saturday nights, but Kay is known for coming up with other interesting activities, as well! Since Saturday is FREE National Parks Day, we'll probably go out to the Oregon Caves in nearby Cave Junction (Crater Lake is also somewhat close, but to do it justice, you really need more than one day).

Looking forward to meeting you and checking out "Bubbles" ... ;) ...! Be safe, and we'll see you in a couple of days or so!

And what a potluck it was!!! Plenty of good food and good company. Joanie and I shot a video of what we fixed for the Sat. dinner, Tacos de Lengua (Tongue Tacos), and it will be on youTube sometime soon. Nice weather on Saturday allowed for us to visit and cook with our Tearjerker Friends. Thanks to Co-Directors Kay & Grant for setting up this 15th Anniversary/Birthday Bash. Joanie gives a big thumbs up to the Lemon Birthday Cake. Dean & Joanie

:shock: :shock: Wow, Mike!! You flew home, but then that vehicle is one sweet ride so I know why you did it!! :R

Great time is right....I got your rib plate, MVP.
And Guy, thanks for the blueberries I snacked on that were in your galley.
And Kay, for the awesome lemon cake.
And Todd B., who had an innovative idea 15 years ago, a toast, and hats off to you. :wine:
Happy trails to you,
