Annual QJ Copia Rendezvous

We have enjoyed our annual gathering for the past several years in Madison. MuleLars, Wally 13, and I have served as a sort of ad hoc planning committee to plan these gatherings. MuleLars is our local ‘boots on the ground’ to contact the motel and make dinner arrangements. Cool

As my wife and I are approaching her retirement next summer, we are planning a move that will make my continued involvement difficult or impossible. I do plan to work with these two and anyone else who may want to become involved in the planning for the March 8-10, 2019 Copia. We will need for someone to volunteer to assume leadership for 2020 and beyond.

A few years ago, we transitioned from a simple Saturday dinner at a local restaurant, to an expanded event at the Country Inn and Suites. We gather informally on Friday afternoon and evening as well as on Saturday evening for our annual dinner. Cool Many have commented that these gatherings have become a primary reason to attend Copia. Cool

If you want to consider assuming this planning role, please contact me by email, pm, or posting here. I will try to answer any questions you may have. Again, next years Rendezvous is a great time and we encourage you to save the dates and plan to attend. Cool

This is NOT the place to announce your plans to attend or sign up for the dinner. That will come later. This thread is to discuss the transition of leadership planning. If you have any questions or input for MuleLars or Wally 13, please direct it to them. Thanks! Cool

Could be one of those or none of those. We are not far enough along to make any announcement, yet. Suffice it to say, we will be a long way from Madison. When we decide, I will share it here. Cool

Tom T’s reply made me think that perhaps we can have some fun with my mystery retirement plans. Voting will be open until I announce our plans. Go ahead and take a guess, post any questions, insights, etc. Even if you think you know, our plans may have changed...

We have lots of time, let’s have some fun! Cool

ST’s song, North to Alaska, was the theme of our daughters party 10 years ago when they moved to Alaska.

Jimbo’s Sinatra tune is one of my favorites. We feel like we have a few good years left. Thanks guys! Cool

This is NOT a contest to guess the least likely outcome.  Grin Your effort to get rid of me is duly noted. Wink Cool Cool
