Review of Social Events

A lot has happened at the park since the last post. Here's a quick listing:

• Lena and Dennis were married.
  
  
• Step of Faith ministered at Sunday services.
  
  
• The annual Fish Fry was a resounding success.

Now for some details:

Wedding


Allison performed the first wedding ceremony to be held at Come-As-You-Are Church, the church located right here on the park. Lena and Dennis tied the knot in an appropriate ceremony before many of the park's residents.

Jeanie served as ring bearer and did a great job, as she does with each of the many tasks she takes on here at the park. Charlotte and others decorated the hall in a "heart red" motif.

Step of Faith

Wayne and Dee, the Step of Faith duo who have been in the park for some weeks, have moved on to minister to different folks from a different home base.

We were fortunate to have them return this past Sunday to deliver the message at "our" Come-As-You-Are Church. They announced that they plan to take their unique ministry of song and word to five states which they have not visited this summer.

Fish Fry

Last Friday evening, the social event of the season was enjoyed by 128 park residents. The frying, serving, eating, and program went off very smoothly, largely due to two factors:

1. Beautiful weather, and
   
   
2. Excellent planning by Bev, Linda, Karen, and Carole.

Of course without the contributions of fish by resident fisherpeople, there would be no fish fry so we are all grateful to them for sharing. Cliff contributed at the "Platinum level" and closing rapidly on catching his 2,000th fish this season.

Tony headed up a great facilities crew to ready the hall for the event. And a group of great folks manned the cookers and kitchen so that we all went away with well-satisfied tummies.

After the dinner, several residents shared their talents with their friends and neighbors. Ron favored the crowd with a few great songs from the past. Newcomer to the 35 RV entertainment scene was Carl, who sang his original composition Full-timing in a Motorhome to the delight of the RVers.

And the fish stories contest must not be forgotten! Emcee Keith Williams announced that both amateur and professional liars were encouraged to participate. And participate they did! Chief Judge Tom awarded first prize to Russ for a true story about the big one.

If you missed the fish fry this year, ask your neighbor about it and make plans now to attend the 2009 version!
