3rd Annual NYCAviation BBQ!
Just like last the past couple of years, we will be having a BBQ in the evening after LGA Kids Day.
Our good friend Vinny Pace in Howard Beach will host the BBQ under the 13L approach path. Come by after Kids Day to relax, eat and socialize with all of our friends!
When:
Saturday, OCTOBER 4 at 5:30pm- 11:00pm
BECAUSE OF EXPECTED WEATHER, WE WILL BE POSTPONING THE BBQ UNTIL SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4.
This is SOMEWHAT tentative upon any rescheduling of Kids' Day, as we prefer to have the BBQ after the Kids' Day event.
But for now, ALL of the same plans are in place, but this time for October 4th at 5:30pm.
Where:
157-43 101st Street
Howard Beach, NY 11414
We will provide burgers, hot dogs, buns and condiments. We ask that YOU folks bring snacks you prefer, beverages, desserts or special meat you prefer (veggie, steaks, etc.). Homemade desserts a plus
Alcohol is allowed, but it is BYOB and we ask that people drink responsibly both while hanging out and on their way home afterwards. NO UNDERAGE DRINKING WILL BE TOLERATED.
Just like the picnic last year, we are trying to set up a raffle. Once details are cemented, I'll pass that along to you all.
I hope you and your families can make it. I myself really look forward to seeing you all again.
Let us know if you plan to come. See you there!
(ask questions, make suggestions and whatever comments you might have)
For anyone who needs a ride from Kids Day, let us know. For public transportation, take the A train to the Howard Beach-JFK Station. When you exit the station, go to your right then make a left on 159 Avenue and proceed two blocks to 101 Street. Make a right on 101 Street and walk up 2 blocks. Its about a 8-10 minute walk. Also MTA Bus Q11 stops at the corner of 157th Avenue and 101 Street. After getting off the bus, walk up 101 Street toward 158th Avenue.
RAFFLE!!!
Just like every year, we will have a raffle. The raffle raises money for the functionality of the site and other site-wide projects.
IMPORTANT: I never want to exclude anyone from an event or from the opportunity to win a prize. Because of this, the MINIMUM ticket cost is $3, but you are welcome to contribute more. Though you can give any amount, no one is allowed to have more than 2 tickets, regardless of how much you contribute.
This year's raffle is going to be a fun one. In addition to some other aviation items that are somewhat typical and fun, we have some special contributions as well. Some of the prizes will include:
From Gemini Jets:
1:200 American 757-200 with Winglets (gorgeous)
1:400 American 777-200
1:400 British Airways 777-200
1:400 Continental 727-200
In addition, JetPhotos.net has offered a One Year ELITE Membership to their site.
A BIG thanks to Gemini Jets and JetPhotos.net for their contributions!
For people who do not live in NYC or cannot attend the event, you CAN purchase tickets by mail, or by paypal (PM/email me for the info). Though the raffle is only days away, there will be an honor system, and arrangements wil be made to accommodate. All snail-mailed raffle money must be received by October 4, 2008, or else any won prizes by that party will be awarded to someone else.
So, come on by the BBQ and get in on the raffle!
Let me know if you folks have any questions. Depending on questions, I might make amendments to the above rules, so please me mindful and aware. Thanks!!!
