Barbara, I feel it would be better to concentrate on just Creve Coeur
rather than spreading out over a couple counties. The more that show up in
one place the better a showing we make as a club and probably get more done.
If groups of 1 or 2 or whatever show up in different places the park people
probably wouldn't even know that we were there. Bernie

Barbara,
Thats a reasonable thought really,
It can even be on a different day too if another part of the STL area wants
to do something, and going all the way to this park on this day does not
fit in their plans.
With nearly 160 "Active" members in SLAGA (a little less really, leaving
out the out of towners and such) and just the few signed up on the CI-TO
event page there are a lot of folks left over that may want to do something
elsewhere closer to their homes. Maybe far South West and OR Waaay out in
St Peters would be good alternate spots if anyone were so inclined. I think
there would be enough peoples left over for those.
I was surprised that with (up to) 160 members, the turnout for real
*helpers* was as slim as it was last Saturday when RGS needed help working
the Geocaching program for the Parks Department. No matter what the
event, most people will have better things to do and you will not be able
to please all. We have noticed, if you really want to boost attendance,
offer a bunch of free food ( I like BBQ) and we will have trouble keeping
up with the crowds! I think that is where we went wrong last Saturday.
Geocachers like to eat :-)
BTW: I wont be able to make to the event either. I have some caching to
catch up on.
actually, i'll be working or i'd be there. (to eat)
