REGISTRATION FORM, (Word doc) Complete and Mail

The Retirees Rendezvous events will actually begin, with arrivals on Thursday and Friday (or a few days earlier if you just want to camp and relax). The reserved Campground is configured to accommodate almost any type of RV unit as well as tent camping. There are rest rooms, showers and water available, with a dump station a short drive into Turlock. Many motels are available in Turlock, if you don't want to rough it, and we'll provide a list with your registration package.

The Clyde Strickler Road-Kill Grille:
Held Friday evening, September 30th. Bring whatever you run over, catch, shoot or buy, to BBQ for yourself, (or to share), and a side dish to share with others.

Continental Breakfast:
Bagels, cream cheese, fruit, juice and coffee, served Saturday morning.

Saturday Night Supper:
This year we will try something new! The committee will provide chicken, beef, and veggie fajitas and beans. Participants please bring a fruit salad, green salad or a dessert for 6.

The Annual Raffle
Donated items will be raffled after the Saturday night Supper. Your donation of items, whether homemade, purchased, self-crafted or otherwise legally appropriated, will be gratefully accepted.

Proceeds from registration and the raffle will first reimburse CSPRA for the seed money and cover presentation expenses. Any event income, over and above the cost of the Rendezvous, will go to the Jim Whitehead Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Questions or suggestions on the Rendezvous? Contact our new 2011 event coordinator Pat Clark-Gray.  We will post a 2011 reservation form early next summer, and hope to see your smiling face at McConnell .

Please, BYOChairs
Camaraderie of old and new friends is the main reason for the Rendezvous. It is an informal gathering of friends and acquaintances who have a common tie through State Parks as Active or Retired Employees, family or friends. If you know someone who fits this definition, who not receiving Rendezvous information, please let us know. Send their name & address to Allison Pedley, Executive Manager, CSPRA @ P.O. Box 10606, Truckee, CA 96162 and/or copy the information you have received and e-mail or give it to your buddy . . . then, bring them along with you.
FYI, the team that has planned the Rendezvous the past 18 years has hung up the spurs and passed the reins on to a new generation of retirees. Our sincere thanks to Kirk Wallace, Jim Neal, Jim Peat and the many others who have been the core of past events.
