On Wednesday, May 14 we will kick off our Summer Campfire season with a combined effort with Bay Shore Camp. Doug & Rhonda Buehler will act as hosts along with Bay Shore. Come out - enjoy a potluck meal, fellowship & campfire. This time also will be to "shower" Tanya, who now works and lives at Bay Shore Camp. Meet at 6 pm, bring a side dish to share & lawn chairs, park at the Family Center. Putt-putt golf will also be available. If you are interested in purchasing or donating an item for Tanya, please see the list in your mailbox. More details & a sign-up sheet to host a Summer Campfire to come. Thank you!
