That's OK with me\, so I created another event at the same location at the exact sam e time called "End of the Summer Potluck". If you and or a guest would like to be included in the lobster/clam count please sign up here. If you don't want lobster and clams please signe up for the potluck. This will help me keep track of who wants lobster and who I'll need to get money from.\n\nHow about we end summer with a blast? And by blast I mean a good old fashioned New England Clambake and Potluck!\n\nI've reserved the pavilion at Fort Mc Clary in Kittery Point\, Maine. Fort McClary is just a few minutes from Por tsmouth and has protected the Piscataqua river for 200 years. The friends o f the fort have been slowly restoring it for years. On this beautiful histo ric site you'll see granite walls\, a restored blockhouse\, a rifle house t hat has been on the site since the Civil War all overlooking the Atlantic O cean.\n\nThe picnic area has a roofed pavilion\, many picnic tables and sta te provided grills and resides accross the road from the fort.\n\nThe fee f or this event is $26. For your fee you'll receive 2\, count them 2 lobsters along with steamed clams\, drawn butter and beverages. Lobsters will be co oked onsite so they'll be steaming hot when served. You won't find a better deal than this anywhere.\n\nIf you and/or a guest doesn't like lobster and clams please sign up for the potluck only event on the same day.\n\nPlease send fee through PayPal to robert_lamothe@yahoo.com\n\nYou bring yourself\ , optional guests\, and a potluck dish to share. When you RSVP please indic ate in your comment what you'll be bringing so that others will know what's taken. \n\nThere is a $2pp park fee that you'll pay when you arrive that i s seperate from the event fee. The $26 goes for lobster\, clams\, beverages \, butter\, plates\, silverware\, cups etc. The $2 park fee goes to the Sta te of Maine and helps support the upkeep of the park.\n\nThis is a joint ev ent with the Trailblazers\n\nKittery\, ME 03904 - USA\n\nSunday\, Septembe r 14 at 1:00 PM\n\nPhoto: http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/6/ c/b/event_4070891.jpeg\n\nAttending: 3\n\nFee: Price: USD 26.00 per person\ n\nDetails: http://bookclub.meetup.com/1003/calendar/8537615/ LAST-MODIFIED:20080904T171938Z UID:event_8537615@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20080813T200612Z DTSTAMP:20080906T202508Z DTSTART:20080914T170000Z DTEND:20080914T190000Z GEO:43.07;-70.78 LOCATION:Fort McClary State Park - Pepperrell Rd - Kittery\, ME 03904 - US A URL:http://bookclub.meetup.com/1003/calendar/8537615/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:End of Summer Potluck DESCRIPTION:Book Club Meetups > Portsmouth Newcomers\n\nPlease Read:\n\nI'v e heard from several people that they'd like to attend the clambake but don 't want lobster and clams.

You needn't be a resident of Hampton or La ne library member to come to the book group. \n\nOn Tuesday\, Oct. 7 at 6:3 0 PM\, the Twilight Book Club will meet to discuss Birdsong: A Novel of Lov e and War\, by Sebastian Faulks.\n\nPublished to international critical and popular acclaim\, this intensely romantic yet stunningly realistic novel s pans three generations and the unimaginable gulf between the First World Wa r and the present. As the young Englishman Stephen Wraysford passes through a tempestuous love affair with Isabelle Azaire in France and enters the da rk\, surreal world beneath the trenches of No Man's Land\, Sebastian Faulks creates a world of fiction that is as tragic as A Farewell to Arms and as sensuous as The English Patient. Crafted from the ruins of war and the inde structibility of love\, Birdsong is a novel that will be read and marveled at for years to come.\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Birdsong-Novel-Love-Sebastia n-Faulks/dp/0679776818\n\nFor our Nov. 4 meetup we will be discussing The T hirteenth Tale\, by Diane Setterfield.\n\nPlease bring a recommendation for a book\, as we'll vote on what to read for our Dec. selection.\n\nHampton\ , NH 03842 - USA\n\nTuesday\, October 7 at 6:30 PM\n\nPhoto: http://photos 3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/6/c/b/event_4070891.jpeg\n\nAttending: 1\ n\nDetails: http://bookclub.meetup.com/1003/calendar/8583048/ LAST-MODIFIED:20080820T120440Z UID:event_8583048@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20080820T120126Z DTSTAMP:20080906T202508Z DTSTART:20081007T223000Z DTEND:20081008T003000Z GEO:43.07;-70.78 LOCATION:Lane Memorial Library - 2 Academy Ave. - Hampton\, NH 03842 - USA URL:http://bookclub.meetup.com/1003/calendar/8583048/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
