don't forget your pillow!

I just wanted to mention a couple last minute details for the weekend that's almost here:

Supper will be served Fri. eve. and we'd love if everyone could make it, but I know some of you will be traveling late. Don't be shy about getting a bedtime snack if you miss supper.

Also:  You need to provide your own linens for single bunks and towels and wash cloths. For some of you that like to sleep as families; I think we can push the bunks together???do you remember??? if we can, then you can bring larger sheets, because there should be plenty of space for families to be together.



For those of you who are driving rather than flying:
You are welcome to bring "snackies" along especially for lunch on Sat. (we'll put out sandwich stuff). Your crackers and cheese, chips, veggies, cookies, fruit ect. will complete our menu. Also we'll set some sweet things out for the early risers who like a bite with their coffee. so feel free to be as creative as you'd like in the food you bring. All the main dishes will be taken care by us.

Ok., I think that's it, but if you have any questions, feel free to call or email.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!

Troyer family reunion 2014

 Good evening, Family!
I guess about the only time I ever write specifically to my family is when we are planning another reunion :)
I'm delighted to say that this is the case again, and I'm so looking forward to being with lots and lots of you. Don't you think there's just a little something EXTRA special about our family? I sure do! I can't think of another crowd that I'd rather spend the weekend with. So please make your plans to come, and we'll make plans on this end to put everyone up and feed us all. Love you guys lots!

On Sept. 5th. and 6th. we are again planning a Troyer family reunion for as many of you as can, or want to come.
 I’ve reserved Pickett State Park’s group campground again (the same place we were last year) and the plans are to arrive on Fri. afternoon for our first meal and leave on Sun. morning.
The group camp will accommodate up to 144 people. It consists of six bunkhouses, two bathhouses, and a large dining hall and kitchen. You need to provide your own linens for single bunks, and towels and wash cloths.
I’ll take care of food prep and paper products. The cost is very reasonable. There will be a $3 per nt./Per person charge for the camp, and then our food expenses.
 I’ve already heard from several of you who plan to come and I would like to hear from lots more. Please let me know if you can make it so I can plan accordingly with food. Please let your families know about the arrangements since I only have a limited amount of addresses.
Blessings to all of you…..Rose

New Year's eve. 2013

Our year as youth leaders ended nicely with a New Year's eve. party. The house was full, the snacks were great and the activities were fun.
One really neat thing we did was choose teams to decorate gingerbread houses. At the end there were 4 judges who graded the houses by a point system according to creativity, neatness ect.
the 5 finished houses

First place was taken by Matt, Damaris, and Derrick and Sherry
 
 
Second place went to Kathryn and Betsy and David(notice santa's sleigh on the roof?)

The judges are deliberating and considering, while the contestants anxiously wait :)


                                                              A gift exchange game.....
 
Music and sharing goals for the new year....
 
And no youth meeting is complete with out some friendly rivalry.....go Austin and Tim!
