Many of you have been holding off making your reservation for the campout next weekend, September 25-26.  Now it is almost here!  So give Florence Michel a call and be sure you don't miss this fun event held just over the mountain in the Paradise Camp Ground. 

If you have questions about it, just call; but join in, be part of this special weekend.  You don't want to miss the relaxed atmosphere, a chance to get to know some of the Graduates better, sitting around the fire after the barbeque and making s'mores and singing old songs, sleeping under the stars and waking up to the aroma of coffee in the morning and a great breakfast.

This is the second campout for The Graduates and we hope it will be every bit as successful as last year!

The report from Roger Hoyt and Berkeley Meigs is that the new camp site is even better than last year. 

Florence Michel is taking reservations for the event
and Norm Jacobs and Marilyn Conrad are the campfire food chefs.
Those interested in helping can call Florence also. 

 The cost is $20 per person which covers a wonderful morning breakfast, firewood, camp site fees and other goodies!
Write checks payable to Michael Koelsch and send them to Florence.

 Can you cook over an open fire? Build an open fire? Sing around the campfire? (Syd: Guitar dusted off?)

Hone those skills with the help of last year's experts!

Caballo #5 camp site is set up as an equestrian campsite 
and affords us a large picnic table area that surrounds the campfire we will have. 
It has the large charcoal grill like we had last year and nearby toilet facilities. 

"This was a FANTASTIC event last year. I even stayed overnight and I'm not a camper!"... (Ellen) 

The site will take 50 campers, so get on the list soon for helping &/or attending.
