The Lodge

We will be staying at the chalets owned by THE LODGE on Lake Matinenda.  It is a wilderness, turn of the century lodge built in the 1920's. This area used to be a fairly large saw mill (the foundation is still standing today). The lodge was originally built for American Hunters. Now it is for everyone to enjoy all year long. It is located in the heart of Northern Ontario. We have reserved 3 Chalets.  2 Chalets will sleep 6 people and the other chalet will sleep 4 people. 

NO TURNING BACK

Because we have reserved the 3 Chalets, we will have to use them.  If we fall below the number needed to fill the 3 Chalets, we will still have to pay, so lets make sure that we have at least 16 people attending this year.

Cabin Captains

This year, I have created Cabin Captains who are in charge of the people and fees associated with each Chalet (Or Cabin).  John France has requested a cabin for his group, and Casey volunteered to stay in the cabin on the hill.  I (Duane Dew) will be in charge of the other chalet.  I will collect the money for the week from John and Casey.  This will make money collection easy as each cabin captain collect from the people that are staying in their cabin and make sure it is right and then I (Duane Dew) will only have to make sure that the two lots of money I receive from the is correct..  The Cabin Captains, if they desire, will also facilitate planning for food and supplies for each cabin.

DATES

The Dates we have reserved are Friday June, 24th through Friday July 1st

COST

The cost this year will be $1000ca for each chalet  The current breakdown for the cost is listed below: Exchange rate used is 1.23 Ca to 1.00 Us

Cabin Captains

Casey Allen - Cabin on the Hill

Duane Dew - Cabin 1

John France - Cabin 2

Each of these SPECIAL cabin captains will be responsible for organizing whatever needs to be organized for their cabin.... Or someone else, whatever... but more importantly, they will collect all the money from the people in their cabin.  This will allow ME (DUANE DEW) to receive money from only two people and then I can pay the LODGE.

The price will be TOTAL PRICE OF ALL THREE CABINS divided by the TOTAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE.  It will not 1000 per cabin and the people staying in that cabin must split 1000....  This will eliminate any problems if there is a cabin with 4 and another with 10....  Each person no matter what cabin you are in will pay equal amounts.....

Optional Persons staying at the Lodge

If needed, some individuals may choose to stay at the LODGE.  I have spoken with Jimmy and have been informed that the price for this is $30 per night per person and does not include any meals.  If a person were to stay at the lodge Friday night through Wednesday Night and depart on Thursday morning, the weekly price would be $180ca which is $146.02us

ATTENDEES

As of 12/8/2004, the confirmed attendees are as fallows: 20 People

Cabins

Cabin 1 Can Sleep 6 People (The Cabin on the Left in the above picture)  Cabin 2 Can sleep 5 or 6.  A Portable mattress is recommended.

Cabin 3 is the cabin on the hill.  This is the largest of the 3 cabins, however this cabin is suppose to sleep 8, but that is with 2 Queen beds.  Unless there is some quality snuggle time in this place, I believe this will only sleep 4.  It is advised that some portable mattresses are brought for this to sleep 6 people.  There is plenty of room for the mattresses.

FOOD

Each individual is responsible for food.
