THIS MONTH’S MEETING:
May
12, 2007
(Note earlier date than usual!!!)
Cannon Shoot
Izaac Walton
League (NOT Gere!)
This will be a special meeting at the Isaac
Walton
League just east of Lincoln (see map below). We will begin at
6:30 p.m.
with a pot luck dinner. The Round Table will provide burgers,
buns, mustard,
and ketchup, and iced tea; please bring your own table service, a drink
(if
you want something other than tea), any more exotic condiments you may
desire,
and then an item to share: if your name begins with A-M, please
bring a
salad or side dish; if your name begins with M-Z, please bring a
dessert.
So that we know how many burgers are needed, please let Steve Guenzel
know
how many burgers you want by calling him at 475-4240 (you can leave a
message
with your name or names and how many burgers), or send an email
reply. Please
respond by Wednesday so appropriate items may be purchased.
The program will be presented by Battery B, 1st New York Light
Artillery,
which is based out of Fort Kearney (though I believe some of the
members
are from Hastings). They will bring their Three Inch Ordinance
Rifle (named
Dorothy) and fire a number of blank rounds for us. They will
demonstrate
the duties of the various members of the gun crew. They also plan
to stay
until dusk, as night firings are quite exciting. Below are some
photos from
the similar event that the Round Table had in May of 2004.
Here is a map to the Izaac
Walton
League, which is located at 10801 S. 134th St., Bennet, Nebraska, which
is
just south of Highway 2 on 134th Street:
