Would Like To Help With ORC 2016 Planning

  I am very pleased that the ORC 2016 is getting started as early as it is this year. Good job NA. I also realize that I was a thorn in your side when I felt issues needed addressed. For that I'll apologize. And would like to be more helpful this year.

  That said------ would it be possible to post up when , where ,etc. the organization and planning meetings are going to be ? I know most will happen in Portland and that I live 150 miles away so being there in person isn't the easiest for me. But I do want to be a positive influence . If I can help in any way. Perhaps injecting ideas by e-mail is possible too. But I am willing to make the 300 mile drive if I can be of any help.

  So what say you organizers ? Is this a possibility ? Thanks in advance for your response.

As mentioned in the Official ORC thread we will post planning meeting details as a meeting day and time is set.  We will ensure to give enough notice for folks traveling or with other commitments to have planning time as well.

Look forward to having you there Mark.

Thank you.

Been a month since I've heard anything about planning for ORC.  I'm sure stuff is going on behind the scenes, but it might be nice to see something on here.

Something must be moving.  The "2016 ORC-Official Registration and details" thread is sequestered for editing.  Has been for some time now.

Did anyone take note of the (perhaps tentative) date before the thread went dark?

July 9th

   Due to a recent surgery. I might not be able to actually fish @ ORC this year.
   That's okay... I will still be there to support the troops and join in the fun.
    I am able to (slowly) get some chainsaw carving done and had a thought last night about a possible contribution I'd like to get some input about.

  If I bring a carving or two to donate to HOW as a fund raiser ... would a silent auction... where folks can put in a bid for a carving... and the winner gets the piece.... be an acceptable idea ? There would be no pressure... as in a live auction and I'll make the carving as cool as I can. And HOW can receive any profits from the sale.
   I'll make the carving Nautical related to be as appropriate as possible for our group. And if someone doesn't want to get involved or has no interest.... no problem. Walk on by......
   What do you think organizers ? Good idea--- bad idea ?
    Input ? I can post some pictures of recent work if there is interest .

 Here is a recently carved "Sea Turtle".
