After scampering out of Epcot.. we made a mad dash for "home" (as we had already started to call our room at the ASMu Calypso Building) to pick up the stuff for the S'mores and our raffle giveaways. The meet was to start at 630pm but we had planned to be there at 6pm to set up.. No such luck!

Since we were running late, we forgo the bus and took the car to Ft Wilderness, where we had an interresting time finding a place where it was ok for us to park & leave the car, (it's like getting into the Pentagon there you know!) =)  We took the first bus that was going in the general direction of the Campfire Program.. It was a mistake.. for several reasons:
 

• the bus was heading in the opposite direction of the loop we were wanting to take.
• the driver was a trainee and was being "walked through" his route by his CM trainer, and seemed to have no idea where he was going!
• Neither the driver nor the trainer would call out the stops.. so we never really knew where we were.

Well once we got off the bus we still had a way to go and walked over.. and  it was nearing 7pm! We were over a half hour late for our own meet!!  Well a lot of people were already there.. and Randy seemed to have gathered everyone up under his wing & had things under control.. I only was half joking when I told Randy he should host next year's Campfire Meet.. if there is one.  He was wonderful.. so I want to have a special thanks to him.. and also to everyone in attendance!

        Despite my being a basket raccoon the first half-hour I was there.. The Meet was a success!! We had about 25 or so of the 30+ folks who RSVP'd for the meet show up & watch "TARZAN" with us. I know a lot of folks came who have never been to Ft Wilderness or the Campfire Program before.. and that's exactly why Sean & I proposed the meet!  I want to give out a special thanks to all the folks that came, though they had other things to attend later that night, but still came by with well-wishes and happy thoughts... one of which was Mark Guttag who came by just to say "hi" though he had spent the entire day on a long flight, and had yet to evan check into his hotel!!!

        Thank you everyone!!!! (Thanks also to Paragon for her happy reassurance the next couple days!)

; Now I didn't get photos of the first half of the meet really except for Sunday... I was trying to get the raffle off to a good start and was having a heck of a time scribbling numbers on Hello Kitty sheets in the dark and then trying to match prizes! Argh!  You CAN, however see photos on Ronnie's (Iago's site..)

The rest of the photos take place after the movie.. when those of us going to the Electric Water Pageant headed down to the beach...
 
 

After the parade, Sean had a scaled-down version of his trivia contest.  There were still the 6 big prizes left over from the raffle.. so we gave those out.

After the trivia contest, we gathered together for this wonderful group shot..

A very special thanks to my mom & Ray for their help in making my poster, making roasting sticks and for helping me with a million other things!!! (not to mention driving me to Orlando!)
