Coffee Mugs Needed for Camp Lookout

Tonight is our Camp Lookout coffee mug drive as well as our evening with Don Washburn from Camp Lookout. He will be here to have some fun and tell us all about camp. Please remember that this is a family event- there will be no separate children's activity, so each kiddo needs a parent to be here as well. This is a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have about camp. First time campers will have a ball meeting Don- he is simply amazing!!

Have a great day, and we will see you tonight!

Connie

ps- don't forget your excess coffee mugs- we want to fill his truck up!!!!
