THE PICNIC HAS BEEN CALLED OFF...Gail said she dont think robert could handle the heat..if everyone will come we could all meet up at a resturant and have a big gathering..robert is really wanting to see everyone..let me know if this sounds like something we can do for robert..
-
sounds like a plan to me.....
-
I hope to be there too.
-
I just spoke with Gail. She's going to get with Gary and pick a restaurant that's near the Nursing Home where Robbie is staying. The heat takes a lot out of Robbie and causes him to become disoriented and weak. They're going to look for some place close in to Etowah or Athens so they don't have to transport him very far. When they decide, I expect Gary to post it here, or if Gail calls me, I'll post it.

the NEW LOCATION for the club picnic will be held at MEMORIES resturant in etowah,tn on hwy 411 at 2pm on august 21st,,,please try and come see robert he needs to see all his friends..if you have any questions feel free to call me at 706-264-3811 i think charlie knows where the resturant is at and could probaly give better directions for you guys than i could.
-
A Google search shows a Memories Diner & Sports Grill, 235 N Tennessee Ave, Etowah, TN. I'm guessing that this is the place. That'll give you an address for your GPS.
-
That's the same restaurant we used for the Tennessee Fun Run and the Fun Run with the Kappa Club. Next door to the Conoco Station. Good food.
-

At the meeting, Saturday, Don had asked about everyone meeting up to drive up together. Since some of us are on the
East side and others on the West side, I suggested that we meet up in Chatsworth.
I'll be leaving around 10 and traveling up through Gainesville, crossing I-985, Ga. 400 in Dawsonville and I-575 in Ellijay and following Hwy 52 over Fort Mountain into Chatsworth at Hwy 411. It's about a 3 to 3 1/2 hr drive from here to Etowah and about 2+ to Chatsworth.
If anyone would like to meet up at 53 and I-985, Ga. 400 or Hwy 52 and I-985 we can drive over and meet Don and Dewey and Jerry and any others in Chatsworth around 1. We would get to Etowah around 2.
On the way back, we might be able to stop at John Watson's place and see a few rebodies in the making.
-
thats great charlie, im sure you guys will love hitting ft mountain.please be careful, the GSP patrols the mountain heavy on weekends due to the fact of so many wrecks, mainly crotch rockets. but its a beautiful ride specially in a fiero..
i called today and reserved the meeting room at memories resturant,we will have it all to ourself, please bring your family and enjoy the resturant,these folks are very nice and are looking forward to see us and assured me that we will love the food they have. looking forward to see everyone....Gary
-
Any idea where you'll be meeting in Chatsworth? Don and Dewy, where are you two meeting up at? I'm not sure that I'll make it; we'll see???
-
The Chatsworth City Hall is on the right on Hwy 411, across from Murray Plaza. Either would be a good place. About 12:30 would be good. If you MapQuest Hwy 411 and the intersection of East Peachtree or West Peachtree in Chatsworth, it should give you a timeframe from your home. Those that want to meet in Ellijay can meet at the Baptist Church on Hwy 52, E. Dalton Street, just north of the rotary, going towards Chatsworth. It would be good to bring your FRS radio and keep it on Channel 7.
To meet in Ellijay, we should be out of there by around 11:30 in order to meet the folks in Chatsworth.
-
I did a MapQuest from Winder to Etowah. In order to be in Etowah by 2, we need to:
Leave Chatsworth City Hall by 1
Leave Ellijay by 12
Leave Dawsonville by 11
That means to be there and ready to leave by the times above. Anyone coming from any other direction and planning to meet up with us, make your schedule accordingly.

I may well meet up with you in Elijay. If you don't see me at the Baptist church, keep on going. Sorry I can't be more certain, but I really don't want you waiting around should I not be there. I'll have a radio on Chanel 7 and I should have the wife's cell phone in case Charlie still has the #.
-
I still have it. There's no signal coming up 52 until you get to 575. I'll call you when I get there to see if you're traveling. Just me and Pat coming up that way. Tim was going, but Dean says there's some problems with the 308 that may need repair before it can be driven again.
-
Charlie, I just had a wrench thrown into my plans and I'll not be coming after all.

I had a good time at the get-together. Robbie was a real trooper for coming in spite of the additional pain of a kidney stone on top of his other troubles. I certainly hope he's feeling better now.
Here are some pictures:

Thanks for posting pictures! Sorry I didn't make it. Can you re-post that bottom one again or ask that guy to put on his hat-there's an awful lot of glare in that picture! :) 8)
