In light of recent events, I think it's about time we schedule an adult weekend for present and former counselors and staff. Have Jerry make slab after slab of ribs and secure the entire compound for the weekend - making sure that everyone behaves accordingly.
Even those of us no longer there carry AC in our hearts, and our support goes out to all of you still there fighting the good fight and doing the impossible with next to nothing.
Spanky - are you up for this?

Over the last week I have dealt with alot of emotion. Not only in the loss of a special person but in my love for this place and the people that bring it to life. each year a group of strangers come together and by the end of each season a new family is born.
It is very important to me to see our family maitain contact. It is possible for us to pull this off. Provided we have a plan of attack. Think of all the ideas you would like to see and do. With the right plan and presentation, we could make it happen.

Presentation is key, and there's going to have to be a fee paid. Maybe there is a structured scale we can use to offset the typical adult weekend costs / revenue. Spanky - I'm sure we can figure out the last several years of Adult AC revenues and provide us a breakeven point for a particular weekend.
I think if we structure a plan that shows a willingness to pay a fee (and we'll have to put our heads together) and the benefits to the organization - maybe we have the folks from HR provide information to former staff on how to recommend future staff members or something like that. Making the sale to the Big House is fairly easy if we take our time and make a complete plan that especially focuses on facility usage, personnel having to work the weekend from an AC standpoint, and financial overhead.
Any other thoughts?
