Fellow Campers,
The camping officers are inviting you to a campground Trick or Treat on Saturday, October 24.  Please review the attached flyer and respond back to let me know how many kids will be coming for the pumpkin decorating contest.  The camping club will be supplying the pumpkins and decorating supplies.  Hope to see you there.

Campground Closes:  November 22, 2009

Christmas Dinner:   December 5, 2009

• This is traditionally our largest gathering of the year.  We have great entertainment, food, and fun.
• Santa usually visits the children and it is great to see their excitement!
• In addition, the election of club officers for the coming year is held at this event.

The camping club would like to make a contribution again to the Hope House of Kingsport, and ask that each of you bring an item from the wish/needs list, which is also attached in the email.  We will have a place designated for the donated items at the lodge the night of the dinner or if you cannot make it to the dinner, you can contact me and I will get the items from you. 

Note:  If you would like to receive Camping Club news, schedules or event notices by U.S. mail, go by the Recreation Office to have your name and address added to the mailing list ($3 for postage fee).
