August & October 2011 Campout

HEARTLAND ROOS
August and October CAMPOUT NOTES
Osage Beach RV and Stagecoach RV - Branson, MO
2011

ATTENDEES:
June: Too long ago to remember but add Toni and Ernie Ward and Jack Backowski to the following attendees for June at Lazy Day Campground in Montgomery City.

Aug: Lester & Grace Mooney, Ted & Norma Stahlhuth, Warren Cutright, Steven Mooney and Carol.

Oct: Lester & Grace Mooney, Ted & Norma Stahlhuth, Lisa, & Wyatt Mooney, Steven Mooney and Carol, Linda Lockwood (Lisa’s mother), Joe and Nick.

Small group but we had a great time together. Lester smoked ribs for both occasions and pot luck dishes were delicious. Lester’s biscuits and gravy Saturday mornings were still a favorite.

Informal business meetings were conducted. Due to lack of interest we will not be scheduling any more regular get-togethers. We donated the coffee pot and a few other items to Lazy Day Campground in June. Gail Baker has reported $303 in the treasury. Those of us present and with Ernie and Toni Wards approval decided we would donate to Park Baptist Church in Joplin. Gail said 100% of monetary donations go to Tornado Relief.

OTHER ITEMS:
Hate to lose contact with everyone. We have really enjoyed all of the campouts and friends we have made. Lester and I are thinking about the tulip festival in Pella, Iowa in May. We went in May, 2006. If anyone is interested, let me know. The date is May 3, 4, & 5, 2012. www.pellatuliptime.com/
