"Holiday Photo"

Posted by azshelley on Dec 18, 2008 10:52:22 PM

Hey everyone! I know it is the holidays and everyone is real busy but I was wondering if anyone is interesting in getting together to do a holiday picture?  I think it will be fun and I totally believe Tanya will be a great team leader in this department. Haha.  We don't have much time but maybe after xmas we can squeeze time into meet and of couse we have to come up with a game plan.  Any ideas?  Let me know!! I wish everyone a Happy Holidays!!

Haha! How did I get roped into this? :-)~

This sounds like a great idea! An idea just came to mind, but I don't want to post it here for fear that someone might steal it, but we would need 6 people to do it.  Ideally all Team MGD 64 team members.  Perhaps we could meet the Sunday after Christmas or something.  I will send an email you on your Acitve account here with the idea.

I'll be here the Sunday after Christmas and would participate in a holiday photo. Let me know what you have in mind...

Shelley has to work on Sundays. Our idea has to sort of be done when it's dark, or just getting dark.  So we need to do it some night before Jan 1 right at dusk.  I am avilable anytime except for the 31st.  I am thinking maybe Kiwanis Park might be a good central location to meet at.  I will send everyone an email asking if they want to participate, explain the idea, and to ask for times that work for them.  We need 6 people, and ideally they would all be team MGD 64 members, so that is what we are shooting for.  I will keep this thread updated as I hear from people.  YAY! This could be cool!

Sorry that I have to work 12 to 10 on Sunday and it is messing everyone else up.  I really want to participate so can we meet on Monday after everyone is done with work?  I get off at 5pm but i can leave a little early to get up to kiwanis park if needed. Or I can do it on Tuesday night too after work.  Also, what do I need to bring?

I can meet monday if that works for everyone.

Ok, Looks like everyone can meet Monday, and Kim works in Glendale, so she can't be to Kiwanis until 6:30, so let's shoot for then.  So far we have 4 people, and Dave was a maybe so that would make 5. Now that we know when we are doing it, I can let him know and he will try to make it.  I found the little batery powered lights at Micheals, so now we just need super cheap super market or Micheals bright green shirts.  ORRrrrrr....should we wear our yellow MGD shirts???  I know we are trying to make a christmas tree, but maybe the little strings of lights will help make that more obvious. Either way, I am open to either.  I think the t-shirts at Michaels are 5 for $20 or something cheap.  Comment with your thoughts so we can decide.  I will make the bottle "star" hat.  So where to meet exactly at Kiwanis?  There is a parking lot just south of the bridge, on the west side of the road that cuts through Kiwanis. There are bathrooms there. It's on the South side of the lake. If you don't think this is enough info to figure out the location, just let me know and I will post a map. YAY! We just might pull this off.

Hi.  I can meet tonight as well.  My vote is the green t-shirts.

Dec 29, 2008 8:31 AM krosenlof krosenlof    says:

I'll be coming straight from work, but will try to be there by 6:15 or so (traffic permitting). I'm wearing a green long sleeve shirt and brought my yellow MGD shirt, so I'll be covered either way. See you tonight!

Dec 29, 2008 8:32 AM Tanya_McCarty Tanya_McCarty    says in response to AmyKr:

Ok.....let's try to make it tonight at 6:30 at Kiwanis parking lot just south of the bridge.  I have the lights and I saw bright green t-shirts at Walmart yesterday for $5.  We can probably just keep the tags on and return them when done! Unless you like it and want to keep it. (I don't do green).  I will get 5 of those today, and get the beer bottle "star" ready.  We'll figure it out when we get there.  Should be 5 of us if all us girls make it.  Amy, Shelley, Kim, Karen and me.  See you ladies tonight!!! 

OH!  And Brian said we can't submit an individual photo and a group photo, so someone is going to have to submit this as their photo.  I was planning on submitting a different one myself, so Shelley maybe you can submit this one.  Maybe if it wins we can use the money to have a girls night out for dinner! Anyway....see you tonight!

Oh good Kim!!!  See you tonight!

I will be there tonight. thanks for pulling it together!
