Final meeting Pre-trip 2010

Greetings friends

Well tonight was our 1 and only meeting pre-trip for New Orleans 2010 ! Yeah God :-) We now have a total of 64 people going from I believe 13 Church's in the area and I will be more specific later.
We have 52 driving in a caravan to Hernando Mississippi for the first night then to make the distance on the next day to Camp Restore.The rest are flying down.

This year will be a bit different for me cause I am one of those flyer's....I really wanted to drive down cause there is so much sharing and getting to know each other on that trip.But with so many going our van the LARKN5 will be making the trip with Jon at the wheel....wow that in itself is a big no ,ginormous leap for me as well as my wonderful bride but hey it's all good.

Dave is the group leader for the trip who has done a excellent job and has really seen the needs of the group and has a tight rein on us but knows when to release the pressure and say just be careful,thanks Dave from all of us for the work you and SMB and the planning committee has put forth in this well needed mission.

Well once again I can't wait to see what the "road treat's" are in the Baerwolfs car on the way down which generally is anything from a mixture of great m&m's ,cereal,peanut's raisins and god only knows what else..Deb save me some?

OK what you can expect between the 2 blogs that are up for this trip are updates with pictures and maybe even some candid interviews with well who knows.
Maybe my job this year will be the poverotsi Ha can you arrange that Steve?

Steve is our pre-planner who will go down this year 3 days before the group will arrive and have all the jobs lined up with a material list ready to go,which saves allot of time on Camp Restores end ..as we were told they look forward to this group coming cause it's so large and talented,(they didn't say that I did,the talented part) and so much gets done with little effort on there part ,kinda like a vacation for them which is good to.

Well enough for tonight till we blog again

In his Grip
