This year, I'd like to volunteer and try to help out logistically as much as I'm capable of doing. What I have in mind so far, is loading my pickup with the following items to help this event to be a big success! If anybody has any "REASONABLE" suggestions , Please don't hesitate to chime in. (and with this crowd, I'm sure there will be lot's of interesting items to be suggested ) The reason why I came up with this idea, is to help lighten the load for many pilots and there planes. If you think I'm going over board, let me know as well.

Below is a list of items to start off with:
1. 1 10x15 EzUp Canopy
2. 1 back yard grill with a couple of extra propane bottles
3. 2 or 3 large coolers
4. Some pots, pans, cooking utensils
5. Folding chairs (24 or more??) (if I can round up a trailer)
6. Folding tables (if I can round up a trailer)
7. Metal Stakes for extra tie downs and rope.
8.

The other thing I'm starting to think about is purchased items. I have no problem going to Sams Club, Costco, and the Grocery Store to purchase additional items. But if that's what the majority of BCPers would like me to do, we may have to set up a fund for additional purchased items. I'm willing to pitch in up to $100.00 myself. Here's a list of purchased items I'm thinking so far.

1. Drinking water and cooking water
2. Plates, bowls, utinsels, napkins, paper towels
3. Soda, BEER
4. Food (we can discuss what to buy later [month before the event])
5.
6.
7.

If the list grows too big for it all to fit in my pickup, I'm confident I can round up a trailer to haul in the additional items that won't fit in the back of the pickup. I'd like to have the truck loaded by June 22-23. I can drive it to JC on the 23-24 and I'm sure I can get someone to fly me to Caldwell so I can return to JC with my plane.

I know to some this is starting to sound like a big task, but for those that don't know about me, I operate and run a racing hospitality vehicle for a major motorcycle company and I'm more than capable of feeding from 10-500 people with the right equipment and staff. So helping out a group of about 20-50 people should be fairly simple. But again, If you think I'm going over board, over the top, getting crazy, just let me know.

Just a small disclaimer:
During the race season (schedule is March thru Sept), my schedule can, at times be very demanding. As of today, I have every intent to be at and play a roll in this event (Annual BCP Fly In, June 25-27). As of today (and I have my most updated schedule in hand), I do plan to be off work and at home in Idaho from June 19 through July 11. However, there can be a slight change in my schedule that may take me away from this event. If that happens, I'll still do everything in my power to help out as much as I can. My company usually makes any changes in our schedule 2 or more months in advance, so that should be plenty of time to make any adjustments in our planning for this event at JC.

This next year at JC, I'm looking forward to meeting more of you in person. If everything goes well, this should be one of the best BCP Fly Ins ever!! One not to miss!!
