The September meeting of the Board of Trustees will follow lunch at the conclusion of Kevin's workshop.  I realize we are cramming a lot into the holiday weekend, but, after all it is Labor Day.  This Board meeting is too important to all of us to postpone.   

 

Even as fund raising continues to Build the Bath House, the Board is ready with the funds available to go forward with this project.  I hope everyone who can will join the Board of Trustees for the making of some important decisions that will impact the Church and Camp for many years to come.  This is a neccesary step in maintaining our facilities and ensuring trouble free service from our bath facilities.  The Board will discover the answers to the burning questions of where, when, and how much.   

 

There is so much I want to say to you.  First, thank you.  All of the presenters of Workshops have made huge contributions in time and other resources to support this project.  All of the participants in Workshops have given generously in anticipation of improvements to our physical plant.  The Maintenance Comittee has spent many hours meeting with contractors, measuring various locations, and leaning on shovels meditating about the best direction to take the project.  Ron Glasgow, who did the research on ADA regulations, who drew the plans, who shops for the best prices on accessories, who spends his own money, and donates to the Bath House Fund, and on, and on, and on.  Rev. Charles Cox who enhanced our web site and made it a secure and simple method for making donations to the Church and the Bath House fund.  Rev. Cox is among the presenters who not only traveled and donated their time, talent, and gifts, they also made generous contributions to the Bath House fund.  (Any presenter who is offended that I revealed your personal business, please forgive me and accept a pat on the back anyway.  I'm sure you will have other occasions to be upset with me.  You can get even then.) The Board of Trustees who were confronted with a need, met the challenge, and are ready to take action.

 

I am proud of you all and thankful for your support of this project.  Please continue with that support a while longer.  As my daddy used to say, "we're within shoutin distance".  

  

Now. See you this weekend.  Let's have a good time. 

March 12 - 23, 2011 are the dates we will be traveling to Egypt for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit sacred sites with like-minded friends and experience the wonders and life-changing awakenings this ancient land holds for us. Kevin Phillips has traveled to Egypt on two previous occasions and is arranging this trip for us. We have been making tentative plans for the past year, but now it's time to get serious, mark our calendars, and get on board! If there are 10-15 of us who go on this trip the price per person is approximately $4,499.  The price goes down to $4,099 if there are 16-20, and goes down further if there are 30 or more (all based on double-occupancy so bring a friend!). These prices do include air fair from the United States to Egypt, all accommodations, and many meals. There is wonderful information at the website: Click Here. In fact, just go to the website to check it out for fun - the photographs will inspire you to want to make this trip! Kevin tells us that the Egyptian government will be closing down these sites in the next couple of years due to the deterioration caused just by the moisture from the breathing of so many people over the years inside of these ancient structures. So if you've ever dreamed of visiting Egypt, or feel the call to do so now, this is your opportunity!

 

If you have questions or are interested in joining us on this trip, please contact Linda (620-727-4329, or lindaanderson4825@sbcglobal.net) so she can put you in touch with Kevin.
