[ORRando] Verboort

[Theo Elliot Roffe]

I tried sending this earlier and messed it up. Similar in content to Ray's
email, but with an address and a few other bits...



Anyone who is coming in from out of town and/or hasn't done the Verboort
Populaire should head to the Visitation Catholic Church in Verboort Oregon
to find us at the start.  From the church's website:

Where in the Heavens is Verboort?
<http://www.verboort.org/dinner.html> Verboort,
> a small community outside of Forest Grove, Oregon is about 30 miles west of
> Portland, Oregon.


The church's address is 4285 NW Visitation Rd, Forest Grove, OR 97116.
 This is where the Sausage Dinner will be and is where we've historically
met both for the start and finish of this populaire.

When you get there, you can look for the blue porta potties (I hear we'll
be meeting there), or look for me.  I will be wearing a Green Oregon Randos
Jersey and a pink hat.  I'll be helping with registration and so will be
there early, looking for the porta poties.

The finish location should be the same (or maybe a few feet away, depending
on crowds) and will be staffed by David Parsons.  Not sure what he'll be
wearing, but there will probably be some bikey folks milling around unless
you're among the first finishers.

Looking forward to seeing y'all out there.
