We are pleased to announce the first Adirondack Roundup at Lake George to
benefit the Double H Ranch. Please join us on beautiful Lake George NY as we
celebrate the 50th anniversary of Thunderboat Row! All boats from the
Thunderboat Row heritage are invited, we hope to see you there!

Our host hotel, the Treasure Cove Resort, has set aside rooms for our group.
Dockage will be available on a first come, first serve basis, with plenty of
room available in the parking lot also for boats on trailers. Please contact the
hotel as soon as possible to reserve your room. They can be reached at 518-668-5334 (tel:518-668-5334).

On Friday July 12 (well, OK so some of us will be there Thursday July 11, feel
free to join us LOL) launch your boats and spend the day enjoying the sights on
the lake. Friday evening we are heading into town to sample the nightlife and
great restaurants the area has to offer. Not to worry, we will ensure you get
home safely as we have arranged for transportation into and back from town so
you can enjoy yourself with no worries about finding your way home. There are
arcades and other child friendly places in town, so bring your kids and enjoy
all the town has to offer.

Saturday we are headed into town for a relaxing breakfast, then its time to go
boating! We will be heading North to the fartheest end of the lake to enjoy the
scenery and serenity the area has to offer. The North end of the lake has much
less traffic, and is a spectacular place that few rarely see. Fuel is available
for those of you with smaller tanks or thirstier boats. A late lunch at The
Boathouse on the way back, and then you are on your own to cruise, ski, swim or
head to the docks and compare notes and of course, boat bling with your friends.

Saturday night please join us on the dock at Treasure Cove for a catered dinner
under the stars. BYOB, we will provide cups, ice, great company and music for
your pleasure. We are seeking donations for a silent auction, please bring
something for the event. All proceeds from the auction go to the Double H
Ranch.

Sunday? Well,it's a mystery to us to. Another casual breakfast, and then we can
decide what those of us who are staying for the day will be headed out to do.
Boating, head to the go carts, (horror of horrors) shopping with your
significant other, whatever we do we will have a blast.

Entry fee for the event is 60.00. This covers an event T shirt, and Saturday
nights dinner. You will also receive a receipt for a 20.00 donation to the
Double H Ranch.

Hope to see you there!

Plans are coming together! Attached here is a registration form, we will be ordering shirts shortly so please let us know if your coming, otherwise you will not get a shirt!

Still looking for some silent auction items. Remember, ALL proceeds from the silent auction, $20.00 from your registration and any leftover registration money from the event is going to Double H Ranch. Even if you are not attending, if you have something you would like to donate please let me know. We currently have some very cool Donzi and Cigarette posters, a custom knife, and a couple other surprises!

Sounds like a great event.

Rats.

For months I have had hotel reservations and plans to "play with and watch" the really big dogs at the Boyne Thunder Poker Run, that same week end. I will be trailering "Samson" up there so the engine can see some of his Keith Eickert siblings. I know of some 1,400 hp twins that will be there. 😀

Ironically, my brother is coming FROM upstate NY to Michigan to join me.

Bummer, but I can understand. Of course, I fully expect the newest bout of HP envy that event causes you to inspire a WHOLE new Dusty saga... :exactly:

This engine is so awesome for this boat, I don’t need to go any further. 3,500 rpm cruise @ 52 mph. Perfect!

Actually, Samson has not so much a big brother, as a mom/dad in the 38 Carver. :boating:

Now back to our Pre-Hijack thread.

Coming up soon, shirts are done and on the way, some silent auction goodies are on the way, and great weather is on the way!

A little more info about Double H Ranch. We are happy to be able to support the work they do. Hopefully in years to come our contribution will continue to grow. I am also attaching a .jpg of the final shirt design.

I would also like to personally thank the members here who have emailed us offering to contribute even though they may not be attending the event, your support is greatly appreciated.

Bob, Donna and I would like to personally thank the attendees who joined us in Lake George NY and supported the first annual Adirondack Roundup.


As you may know, the purpose of this years event was to promote the good work the Double H Ranch is doing for children with serious illnesses, and raise some money to help them with their mission. For those of you unfamiliar with their work, The Double H Ranch, located in New York’s Adirondack Park, is a demonstration of the commitment and generosity of philanthropist Charles R. Wood and actor Paul Newman. Since the Double H officially opened its doors on July 4, 1993, it has served over 20,000 children dealing with life-threatening illnesses from around the world. It was the second “Hole in the Wall Camp” in what has become a worldwide network of not-for-profit recreational and therapeutic experiences for children with serious illness.


Perfect weather, great boating, excellent food and GREAT friends old and new made this a weekend for the records. Mother nature cooperated as only she can with sunny days, clear waters and a spectacular couple of evenings under the stars. The boats were beautiful, the running unimpaired, and the scenery was incredible.


The Donzi Marine Restoration Society is thrilled to announce we were able to donate $1,400.00 to the Double H Ranch . Thank you again for your generosity, we hope to see you at next years roundup July 17 - 20, 2014 (http://www.donzi.org/forum/x-apple-data-detectors://2)!

Thanks,
Matt
