GORDON FAMILY FUNDRAISER BUMP
BIG PARTY AT THE GORDON RANCH APRIL 21/ 2012
Once again, we are trying to raise some money to fix the roof at THE RANCH.
EVERYONE IS INVITED! Including Stonemasters, Uplanders, wanna-bes, Sheep Buggerers, those mysterious folk from San Diego, RADs, Banditos, Valley boys, Euros, Asians, Latinos, Mazamas, Vulgarians, Buff Alpine clubbers, Sierra Clubbers, American Alpine Clubbers and even Canadians and Newfoundlanders, not to mention people from Florida.
In the continuing philanthropic tradition we will be having a giant party at The Gordon residence on April 21/2012. This year the goal will be to put a new roof on the main house at The Gordon Ranch. They have one messed up roof with multiple leaks. The roofing crew of motivated unpaid locals is already set. We just need money for materials.
Most of us know Todd Gordon, AKA "The Mayor of Josh," as one of the most giving humans in the So. Cal climbing community for the last 30 or so years. Chances are you have stayed at one of Todd's houses more than once while visiting Joshua Tree for it's world famous climbing....or you've climbed one of Todd's many, many classic and not so classic routes.... or maybe he even taught you to climb. I myself have been his guest more times than I can remember. We've showered, pooped, watched TV, camped, used the kitchen etc. there while visiting Todd, his family and our beloved Monument (JTNP).
This party is in the beginning stages of planning but we expect to have food and a raging band “Warsaw” to augment the festive fun social scene. We may have a slide show as well.
BYOB booze.
We are looking for volunteers to help with food, setup and cleanup.
READ THIS PART! We are looking for cash and material donations. Cash in any amount is good. Material donations should be things that can be sold for cash. I will have a continuing sale/auction as this thread develops.
Please feel free to call or e-mail me regarding any questions you may have about this must attend event.
You can send cash, checks, money orders and material donations to

Rolling Stone Lane?
Really?
Am I the only one that finds that funny? Or at the least, ironic?

Rolling Stone, yes, classic name. The house has been in the family for over 50 yrs. During the early '70s the street sigh got ripped off a couple of times a year.

Dave-
The reason I find it funny/ironic is that to me the Stonemasters were in time step with the stones, zepplin, and hendrix. That you would live on Rolling Stone Lane could only be beat by living on Abbey Road or by Todd living on Star Drive.
Oh, wait. He does live there.
Dammit!
Cheers

Bummer I was looking forward to hauling bundles of comp onto the roof!! Glad you have the work part figured out. I guess just managing that you'll have your hands full. I know Todds house could use some other lovin so if it looks like some other project (windows, plumbing etc.)might be in the works let me/us know. I am still game to help but don't want to get in the way.
Are you going to make a list for material you need want? Or should we only send/bring things for an auction? You should have had a paypal notice from me too. Good job on putting this together Dave.
