August 2007 Newsletter
Our campout this month was in eastern
Oklahoma's Green Country. It was HOT! But one thing about our club, we
always have a good time regardless of the circumstances. We had a
misunderstanding between our club and the RV Park on the availability of the
clubhouse. We thought we had it from Wednesday through Sunday AM, but they
informed us it was not available Saturday or Sunday morning. When we left
the park, it had not been used on Saturday or Sunday. The members attending
the campout were the Barratieres, Callahans, Cheathams, Griffins, Marshes,
Maxwells and Grandson, Tucker, Doyle Rowe, Thrailkills and Granddaughter,
Abby, and Tuckers. We enjoyed having the two three year old grandchildren at
the campout. It was a lot of fun and they had a ball swimming at the pool
and having friends (big and small) to play with. Carolyn said "thanks" for
helping entertain the little ones. Of course, the highlight of our campouts
is always FOOD! We had "Build a Mountain" on Friday night and on Saturday
for lunch we all traveled over to Tahlequah for Pizza at Simon's and Ella's
and then on to Porter, OK for peaches and homegrown tomatoes. On Saturday
night we had a buffet dinner at Fin & Feather restaurant.
BUSINESS MEETING
President Thrailkill called the meeting to order Friday, August 10th, at
6:10 p.m. The minutes as published in July newsletter were approved. Martha
reported our treasury balance is $2,380.50. This includes the funds for our

for those who would like to check sizes and she will be in OKC, Thursday,
the 16th. Call her mobile #405/826-6716 or home #580/726-5373 for

campouts and was told we have one stored in Cliff's building. Gene thanked
John Clayton for our H/H Web site. REMEMBER: the newsletter will be on the
Web page for those with computers, all others will receive a hard copy.
50/50 winners were Zane and Doyle, $11.50 each, and $23.00 for the Club.
