Says
If you weren’t there for the Abalone Dive & Dine on the Northern
California coast near Mendocino a couple weeks ago, you really missed a
great time. (See page 8 for recap) Also by the
time this article goes to print, the Annual Luau will also be a fond
memory. Andrea Woelfle planned and hosted last year’s Luau and
I’m sure this one will have been just as much fun for those who
attended. The profits of the Luau have always been, and shall remain to
be designated to help fund the FaGowee Race Team. So be sure come to
the future Luau’s and help support YOUR racers.
Annual Mystery Car Rally ~
September 10th & 11th This event has always been a lot of fun to all who have attended, and has always left the FaGowee Ski Club in the memories of the host hotel employees. The FaGowee’s shall not be forgotten!! Norm says he’ll let your inquisitive minds know where we’ll be lodging and partying anytime after September 12th. 3rd
Annual Gold Point Ghost Town
Trip ~ October 14th to 16th Our Gold Point host, Sheriff John, runs a clean and peaceful town. You must turn in your guns at the sheriff’s office when you arrive (but you can get them back when you leave). There are NO brothels here (but one is within a 30-minute drive if you really feel the need), and this town can claim to have the ONLY saloon in Nevada that has NO slot machines. But on the upside, everybody in town is trusted. Where else can you go where, when the bartender is not available, one can go behind the bar, serve themselves, and be on your honor to leave the payment for their drink in a jar on the bar? In addition, the meals are scrumptious and plentiful (if you go hungry, it’s your own fault), and the hospitality is unmatched anywhere in the Old West. Remember, this is YOUR club. It’s social events and trips are planned and held for YOUR benefit and enjoyment, and it would only behoove YOU to take advantage of what we have to offer. If you’re not active in participating in the trips or events that this club has to offer, why not take a chance and try it at least once. I’ll guarantee that you’ll have a great time. You won’t be disappointed. And finally…READ YOUR NEWSLETTER
Jim HISTORIES MYSTERIESBy: Bob McDonald
I
bring a photo album to each and every FaGowee function with the
photos of our past events, and I depend on you, the general
membership, to supply those photos for the albums. If you have any
pic’s of any FaGowee’s having fun, please get them to me so I can
add them to our archives. For the sake of ease in creating and
displaying the photo pages, I’d prefer the prints to be 4”x 6” in
size. If you have any questions of photos you’d like to part with,
please contact me at 916-817-4277. |

IF YOU WEREN’T THERE – YOU MISSED A GREAT TIME!!! The 2005 Abalone Dive & Dine Weekend held August 11th to 14th near Mendocino is now a fond memory to those who attended. As soon as the photos are developed, there will be another visual page in the archives of the fun things that the FaGowee’s gather to do. Bob McDonald was instrumental in taking many of the photos, but if you have any you’d like to give him, he’d be happy to include them in the photo album. My personal thanks go out to everybody who helped with one or more of the many chores that are required to pull of an event as large as this, especially to Jon Johnson, my own “personal assistant,” and our three divers; FaGowee long-time member Ellen Page, and guest divers from the Portland, Oregon area Shannon Powell and Mike Webster, who made this event the success it turned out to be. My thanks go out to Jackie Chesi, who made her special tossed green salad and Phyllis Figlioli for preparing the garlic bread, to Jan McKissick, Caitlin McKissick and Jon Johnson for cooking the abalone, and to Greg Holman for preparing the BBQ chicken. Thanks also to Jackie, Phyllis and Diane Wilson served the 57 attendees that attended the dinner on Saturday evening. I don’t want to forget to thank all those who cleaned, cut and pounded the abalone for pre-cooking preparation, and those who helped clean up the “scene of the grime” the next morning. There are too many names to mention in this article, but you know who you are. Thank you all!!! This year, I had advertised in the newsletter articles that I was going to have a campsite-decorating contest to liven up the festivities. Unfortunately, nobody staying in the tent-camping area decorated their tent sites, so there were no prizes awarded in that category. However, there were several entries in the R/V decorating contest. The runner-up winners were Wally Baumgartner and Karen Coffee for decorating their site with their numerous flamingos. (They generated a lot of positive and humorous comments from many of the other campers in the R/V park that were not necessarily affiliated with our tribe.) The 1st Place winners were Jan McKissick and her girls, Caitie and Lila. They decorated their site with icicle lights, a lighted chandelier hanging off their pop-up tent-trailer awning, and numerous tea light candles. Eric Schmitt made the awards presentation and awarded the winners with a nice 18-piece BBQ utensil set in a hard plastic carrying case.
The dates for next
year’s Abalone Dive weekend have been set I have already reserved 14 R/V sites and several tent sites for next year. Be sure to mark your calendars to plan to attend an event that will assuredly be one of the highlights of your summer. I am looking forward to planning and hosting this event again, and I hope to see you all there. AFFAFFA
