| WHAT |
GeoChicks 12 will gather in Birch Run / Frankenmuth!
Remember that GeoChicks is an adult only chicks event. This means NO children or men allowed at the event.
The Weekend of April 22 – 24 – or just join us for the day on Saturday if you live nearby!
For those new to GeoChicks, here is a general idea of what happens…..
• Arrive Friday night or Saturday morning
• Meeting at 9-ish Saturday morning to explain the day and the game
• Breakfast on your own – hotel has a deluxe (hot or continental) breakfast (Jen – fill in with what they have --- I think it says Hot Breakfast ??)
• Play the game, shop, and /or cache
• Arrive back at the hotel to fill goody bags, eat dinner, raffle table, prize table, pathtag bingo, unstructured socializing
• Dinner will be pizza from a local shop and will cost between $5 - $10 per person

GOODIE
BAGS |
Every lady brings a bag (think reusable grocery bag or larger for size) and an item to gift to everyone that goes in the bag. The gift can be small and non-caching related. Bags will be put out after the Saturday morning meeting and filled in the afternoon. Examples of goody bag items are pathtags, candles, homemade jewelry, sweets, encouraging notes, but really, your imagination is your limit. This is really just for fun. Don’t stress about it. Plan on about 40 items, or check the “will attend” number on the cache page. Opening the goody bags in the evening is like opening your own personally stocked cache. |
| SNACKS |
Just munchies. If you need inspiration and don’t want 30 bags of chips to choose from, here is a suggestion:
A - D: Sweet
E - H: Healthy
I - L: Fruit
M - P: Cheese
Q - T: Veggie
U - Z: Salty
**We will be meeting in a conference room at the hotel so you will have to keep your items in your room fridge. |
PRIZE
TABLE |
We see a wide variety of items on the table – the sky is the limit! Complementary tickets for the prize table will be handed out to everyone Saturday evening. Please bring 1 or 2 items to place on the table to ensure everyone gets a prize. |
| RAFFLE |
There is a raffle Saturday evening of donated items. These items are typically higher in value ($20+) and many are homemade (in the past this has included homemade quilts)! Tickets are SOLD after the Saturday morning meeting up until the raffle numbers are drawn in the evening. Please let us know if you have an item we can use for this raffle. 100% of monies earned go into putting on this event. |
