Randy and Vicky have volunteered to spearhead the planning for the SNU's 40th Anniversary Celebration in 2016. They will have a major voice in determining what the actual event will be and how it is carried out. Anyone wishing to work with Randy and Vicki on this event, please get in touch with them. Any and all ideas and offers of assistance are welcome. Email: trustee1@sierranevadaairstreams.org
2006 30th Anniversary Celebration -|- SNU Diorama -|- 2011 SNU 35th Anniversary Celebration
An over the top Saturday night dinner with facilities and food comparable to the 30th at the golf course
Rally at Prosser Reservoir group area with a catered BBQ or some other menu item for lunch or dinner at the campground.
Take the gondola at Heavenly and have lunch at the top at the Tamarack. Then maybe dinner some place in South Lake
Take the train to Virginia City. Have lunch at Gold Hill or someplace in Virginia City.
Do a dinner cruise on the M.S. Dixie Also include a rally at the campground.
What should be the focus of an Anniversary event? Attendance? A sort of thank you to participating members of the SNU? Other??
The primary purpose of the SNU is camping and if we can encourage people to come to rallies that would be very good for the SNU. A special rally might act as a catalyst to get more members to a rally.
Attendance at lunches is higher than at rallies and those attending most regular lunches are primarily SNU members.
Almost half of the participants at some of the best attended events including both previous anniversary events and recent Obsidian rallies have been people who are not SNU members,
The SNU is an inclusive group and has lots of friends (members of other Units and potential members) who have actively participated in SNU events. We definitely want to include them in any activity planned to celebrate the 40th Anniversary. It would be great though if we could figure a way to get more of the non participating SNU members to attend.
Weather is a factor to consider whether we do a lunch, dinner or rally. Month and time of day should be considered.
