Weekend/End of Season Entertainment Report updated 11/05/07

Friday:

 Many gathered together at the celebration of Allison
 Wagner entering into her teen years.  Delicious food was served while we shared stories which ended in laughter.  Happy Birthday Allison.

 Campers began the sad countdown of the remaining of
 the 2007 season.  Preparations began to close of their sites. 

 Saturday:

 4:00 Bingo with Geo began with Geo reminding
 everyone this being the last Saturday session in 2007.  But she announced Bingo will resume the first Saturday (mid April 2008- Date to be announced at a later
 time) and Sunday at noon sessions will continue this
 coming year as well.  40 players crammed in the pavilion with a fire burning as they competed for the coverall of $102.00.  Michele (with one "L") & Brent Dyniewski came in for the (split) sweep. Congratulations Michele & Brent.

 8:00 Slamming Shane & Karaoke Bob presented us with
 the final party of the year.  Many gathered together singing and dancing as they were determined not to let this closing stop them from going out with a bang.  Rex allowed us to dance till our shoes fell off and sang till our voices faded away.

 9:30 Rex and Geo closed the sales of the Special
 Raffle.

 10:00 Rex announced Mr. & Mrs Dore as the luckiest
 winners of the three.

 Sunday:

 12:00 Bingo with Geo still held strong.  37 campers  gathered to fight for the final coverall of 2007.  But Joyful Judy came in for the sweep of $86.50.  Congratulations Judy and it was a pleasure to have you add your spunk to our family.

 The Final closing of The campers' family vacation
 homes with the exception of a few who stretched it till it fullest (Monday/Tuesday)

 This has been an exceptional year for all.  Many
 have bonded, love has grown, memories have formed but most of all we turned what once would have been called goodbyes into see you all soons.  Thoughts and
 ideas have already been formed for this coming year
 of events.  If you have any ideas and are willing to give a hand in running an event please feel free to contact me (Geo) through email, yahoo or my cell phone anytime of day, (219) 877-4507. 

 REMEMBER: Keep an eye out for winter gatherings
 which are posted throughout the next 169 days (till we return to LA).

 Have a safe and wonderful Holiday Season.

 See ya all real sooooooon.

 P.S  if you get lonely feel free to look into
 Photos.  Many may be added at anytime of the closing and gathering through these next 5.5 months.

Sadly our camping season came to a close this past
weekend. I want to thank everyone for such a great camping season. It makes life very enjoyable to have such a great camping family at lost acres. I have met so many great people and have so many friends that are always willing to help you. thanks again for a great season and your friendship,

stay in touch

Bert

 Thank you to everyone for your support and for making my job so fun. I want to thank Michele for her assistance and wish her good luck in taking my place.

Going home for the winter is hard for me and it seemed
easier having one last night of fun. Thank you to Shane and
Bob for being so amazing and donating both time & equipment. Thanks to Geo (and silent partner Betty), for pulling it all together & providing us with some giggles as well. And a huge thanks to Rex for allowing us to continue our last hurrah. It could not have happened without him!

I sit here this morning with a terrible feeling of
sadness, knowing that we have finished another season, (AND looking at the boxes to unpack & laundry to do...yuk!). This year went by way too fast & I am already anticipating next year. The friendships I have made are priceless to me & I am going to miss everyone this winter, so please keep in touch.
