Our March 2008 campout, was an out of state gathering at Canton, TX
"First Monday" Flea Market. The actual dates of this camp out were from Feb
27 to March 2, 2008. We all made the trip with no mishaps. We had 16 members
present, Cliff & Inez Tucker, Jim & Diane Johnson, Jim & Mary Lou Owens,
Dennis & Carolyn Maxwell, Dennis & Mildred Boelte, Drewman & Martha Marsh,
Zane & Lou Ann Callahan, Lu & Barry Barratiere. We all did a lot of walking
and looking. Some of us spent a little and others did a lot. Saturday we all
gathered for lunch at the Circle "E" Steak House. Martha March's sisters,
Maxine and Kay joined us. We enjoyed having them with us. That evening we
all gathered at Martha & Drewman's home to celebrate Barry's birthday, he
was 16 on the 29th of Feb. All the members present presented him with unique
gift. Martha & Drewman provided us with cake and ice cream. Thanks guys.

The next campout was to be Wister State Park. Because of gas prices and
other factors the location has changed to Ft. Cobb, April 9 - 12, the west
side, Area 5, across the dam and north. Jimmy Johnson is working on the
final details (i.e. the club room). Take I40W to exit 101, S on 281 to
Binger, W on 152 to 146, S to dam area.

Chaplin Report: Dennis provided us with the latest on health and
prayer request for our club members: Gene Thrailkill's mom did pass away.
Gene and Karen were there. Bill West results were found to be negative for
cancer but does have other concerns. Rhonda Clayton was also mention
concerning her chemo treatment. The ladies did mention getting together with
Rhonda once she was up here in the RV park. Our prayers go out to all, and
hope they all have a speedy recovery.
THOUGHTS FOR YOU:
"Do not follow where the path may lead,
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail"
