[MR] the Rose Garden tent

[Denise McMahon]

I wanted to mention that I spent the entire day under the Rose Garden  
tent and found it wonderfully cooler then just about anyplace else.  
It was convenient to the list field and was also a gathering place  
for other folks. Being close to the treeline in the back we also  
seemed to catch cool breezes at unexpected moments. That was always  
refreshing!

The folks running the dayboard were a bit distressed that more Roses  
weren't there.  They went to a great deal of trouble to make gorgeous  
tidbits for us- the stuffed dates were
fabulous, especially the ones stuffed with procuitto. The fritatta,  
meatballs and salad were delicious as well and I never had to worry  
about having an empty glass. There was also a chest of just ice  
available all during the day which came in very handy as you can well  
imagine.  I would strongly suggest that we keep the Rose Garden tent  
idea as it makes it much easier on anyone who will be providing a  
dayboard for us in the future.

I never lacked for company! Folks dropped by there all day long and  
were looking for other Roses as it was expected that it would be Rose  
Central. It also gave us a lovely place to meet after the fighting  
was over for our meeting.
