2014 planning for Edgehill Activity Club

I haven't posted anything to EAC blog in awhile! Sorry!

This is a version of a post from September 2013.

It has been a LONG time since we had regular activities! 

Let's plan some fun events so we get to see each other more often.

once every quarter = 4-5 activities each year 

That's manageable, right? : )

Here's what I sketched out before. 

February  Game Night (at home TBD or maybe at church)

May  Camping (tents) - usually somewhere in Grundy County, typically Memorial Day weekend

June & July  Pool Party/BBQ  (at home TBD ...wonder where??)

October  MBSP camping (cabins)

December  Holiday Gathering at home TBD

I created a google doc RSVP list.

We can use it & EAC blog to communicate.

Let me know your thoughts.
