Well for those of you that don't already know, there's a whole lot of polkaing going on as well as the following:

- All Regatta events (or something close to these) as described in the enclosed 1995 schedule. I know we have seen the Regatta only once for about 10 minutes, but this option is still available throughout the weekend to attend as you so desire. I pretty much pack up your weekend with other entertainment, but for the non-golfers and/or early risers you can at least feel the comfort of believing there is a purpose to this party. For everyone else, there's not really a Regatta at all is them?

- A day or evening at Kenywood amusement park. Now this has truly become a joke. It's only 20 minutes away, but let's move on.

- Pug's 2nd Annual "The-Bar -Is" Open ......... This, four person team, 18 hole mini-tournament scramble is specifically designed with the less than average golfer in mind. Your entry fee (approx. $50) will include greens fees, Pug's welcome to the tour entry pack, hot dogs at the turn, numerous skill challenges, accompanying prizes and more! Don't be intimidated by your lack of golfing experience; your team will consist of every level of golfing talent and drinking ability- even Sean and Greg play! Nonetheless, anybody interested must advise me of such no later than July 1st. Verbal commitment to this event is acceptable as is advanced payment. Both of which are non-refundable.

- Barbecue: Join me and the tourney teams in the post outing barbecue and awards presentation. Don't be by the Boones Farm or the Happy's that decided to drink all day rather than golfing. Both relatively harmless. However, this is an exciting opportunity to tap the first keg of the weekend and get fired up for the traditional South Side invasion.

- Limo Fiesta: Don't think it's as simple as a barbecue. Before the South Side, why not party on wheels one more time; once again legally. Rather than odd man out as our driver, why not "Higgins". And rather than a large smelly very drunken Van, why not a large smelly very drunken stretch Limo. Since taking over all executive responsibilities of the Motts.. thing... that... Motit.. does...?? ??, he refuses to travel in any other mode of transportation. So if you would like to join the Friday night, pre-South Side, welcoming of the Motts limousine fanfare, please also respond by July 1 st (approx. $35, approx. 2 hrs, approx. very wrong)

- Cocktail Party ! ! Why is this called a cocktail party?? Nonetheless, on Saturday evening I will be hosting a semiformal gettogether of some sort, with lots of refreshments, food, and some more refreshments. Although semiformal in attire, attitudes as you can guess are anything but. Along with the opportunity to hang out with the other distant travelers attending the weekend, this party serves as an excellent opportunity to meet the people I work with, live with, and socialize with here in the Burgh. As you may or may not know, this is certainly the focal point of the weekend so if limited participation is your only option, be sure to put this on the "to-do" list.

This party will be held at a local establishment and occur between the primary social hours of 5 and 11 p.m. This should allow all parties the opportunity plenty of time to venture to the Saloon for the ceremonial "let' s see what happens if we continue on this path and close this place too". Entertainment will be provided in some way or another but unfortunately the talents of Pia will not be heard. This would require him to come out of retirement in the same year it was initiated. However, besides the usual Happy Bunch entertainment factor, some level of official entertainment will most likely be provided. Perhaps just a pooling of talents on an open mike.
