Kelley's Island 2016

Post by Six Volt »

A huge thank you to Bill and Pam Webner for once again putting together a fantastic KI event and demonstrating why LEAKOIL is one of the best VW clubs in the Midwest. And to Kirk and Marla for all they do as well. I don't think people realize just how much work those four collectively do for LEAKOIL and this event to make everything work.

There's a contract that has to be signed with 4H, an insurance requirement that has to be signed and paid, all the donations for the auction have to be obtained, the shirts have to be designed, ordered, paid for and processed, all the registration forms have to be printed and managed, all the physical equipment has to get up to KI to manage the event. They order, pay, get and deliver the keg. They get a discount from the ferry line. They enlist help from LEAKOIL members for a host of things from hot dogs, equipment, kids supplies, tents, goodie cups, raffle forms, registration forms, disclaimers, 50/50, donations and countless other minor details too numerous to mention here.
This event would not happen, but for their efforts. All the while they deal with peoples problems, complaints and issues and mediate issues with 4H as the event happens. It's not an easy or stress free task. People need to realize what a personal investment they make to have an event like this. The rates are negotiated with 4H, so the club makes nothing off the registration costs. By contract, the club has to pay 4H for every bus (and vehicle) parked on the 4H grounds for the weekend. LEAKOIL doesn't make a profit off what you pay to attend. The LEAKOIL costs are offset by the auction, the 50/50 and any ancillary funding that happens at the event. Those proceeds pay for the LEAKOIL website, name, and a host of expenses that keep this group viable for bus owners in the Midwest.

The LEAKOIL website is free to members, but only because leaders like Bill, Pam Kirk and Marla make it so. They work tirelessly to make it happen. When you see them say thanks, because I know what they've invested.

They will no doubt downplay their roles and thank countless LEAKOILER'S who help and make the club the success that it is. There are countless members who indeed help and deserve recognition. But make no mistake, this would not have happened and been a record year (which I think it was) without Bill, Pam, Kirk and Marla. Many thanks!

What follows is all good fun. Don't take me, or yourself, too seriously. And yes, I'll post some blurry pics later.

Wait. I'm going to use my NASA powers to transport us back to the 4-H campsite. Energize!!!!!

It was a sometimes chilly but gorgeous weekend. An impressive turnout even without being able to see the groups tucked in around the basketball court and down on the beach. That's the most Buses I've seen along the tree line in years. Thanks for another awesome year!
