VOA-NE - 9th Annual Clambake - Aug. 3rd

[Wot!]

I can’t believe it; the annual clambake is upon us. It is the 9th annual event that Glenn and Maria Cote started oh so many years ago. This year's event is being held at the Ruiz home in Peabody, MA.

If you have never attended this event, then you need to know this is an event not to be missed. Last year we had over 25 cars. We want to hit 30 this year. Hence some changes below.

Chris will start us off with a cruise on the back roads of southern NH going into northern MA. We will eventually end up at the Ruiz’s Home. When we arrive you’ll be treated with a full fledge New England Clambake. Your choice is a lobster, chicken, or steak as the main course with ¼ lb of steamers. Of course there will be salad, corn, mac salad, along with desserts, and drinks, etc.

The cost of the clambake is $25.00 per person. Let us know your food choices when RSVP'ing.

We need to have the reservations back ASAP (RSVP by 7/30/13). We will collect the money at the event. This event is rain or shine. So if you reply saying you’re going, please show up or I will eat your lobster...

See eVite for event details (starting point and time). The cruise is the second half of Martin's that we didn't get to do earlier this month.
Please bring your 2 way radios if you have them. This is one of our most famous events of the year with lots of cars.

Food choices:
Lobster
Steak
Chicken


Evite Instructions: When you get the evite email, click Yes, or No. That will take you right to evite where you can then fill in the number of guest attending the event (1 for you, 2 for you and a guest). This step is critical. You can then also enter a comment. In this case please enter all guests food preferences (lobster, steak, chicken).

Hey guys,

Its been a while since we have had a big event, hopefully we can all get out Sunday and catch up. I have tons of great stories from the NVE in Detroit last week, best time of my life (this is the truth and I didn't even have my car). I hope in 2016 our whole club can represent New England in New Orleans for NVE2.

Weather looks good for this Sunday 77 degrees. Please sign up by tomorrow night on the evite that was sent out if you want to go to this event, that way we can get the food situation sorted out in time. Also feel free to bring a bathing suit and swim in Chris's nice pool! Also exact change ($25 pp) would be appreciated.

We will have steaks, chicken, lobster, steamers, a few sides, beers soda, water, etc. When RSVP'ing on the evite please make sure to put your meal choices for you and your guest. (Rod and Sharon please update on the evite)

I have a good ride for Sunday, its actually the 2nd half of the ride that we didn't finish from Dominique's event. The roads are smooth, and there are some nice turns, also some awesome houses to see. , there's just one tough street that we all have to cross (Rt 114) , other than that easy nice ride.

I propose 2 meeting points for Sunday
10 am @ Sams Club 11 Batcheldor Rd, Seabrook, NH 03874 Leave approximately 10:30 and head South on 95S

2nd meeting spot for people not coming from the North (this will save you about 20 minutes) There is a rest stop between exit 53 (Rt 97) and 54 (Rt 133) please meet us on the Southbound side for departure around 11 am. Please be there by 10:30 to be safe. Just a heads up this is not a nice rest stop with shade, bathroom, food etc.....it is nothing but a big parking lot.

Keep my cell phone number handy in case you need to call me - 978-979-8967

Hope to see many of you there.

Currently we have 14 vipers / 26 people signed up. Chris' house has parking for about 20 cars max (20 cars can safely park off the road) any more than that you would have to park on the road (not that its that busy of a road. Please sign up on the evite or on this thread asap so we can organize table/chairs/food etc.

Currently we are at 17 vipers + me (viperless) 18 members! and a total of 33 people (includes guests), that's great!, We weren't expecting that much haha but the more the merrier. Today is the last day to sign up on the evite, if you did not get the evite let me know asap! We have safe off road parking for 20 vipers, any last minute sign ups will have to park on the main road in front of the house, the road is actually a really wide single lane road which is plenty safe in my opinion but just wanted to make that known. Any questions let me know!
