Kentucky

May This Seasson Bring Glory to Your Life, Peace to Your Mind, and Joy to Your Heart! Warm Thoughts and Best Wishes Go Out To Our Airstream Families.

The Kentucky Unit Christmas Luncheon is a seasonal tradition that many members look forward to all year long. This year the luncheon will be held Sunday December 06, 2009 at 2:00pm EST at the Stone Hearth Restaurant located in Elizabethtown, Ky. Enjoy great food, camaraderie… mingle with old friends and make a few new ones.

MARK YOU CALENDARS NOW!!!

The cost of the buffet is $11.95 per person.   We had some Teddy Bears donated that were originally collected for International, which we will be giving to 2^nd Vice President Bob Gregory for the Logan County Sheriff’s Department.  Each family is asked to bring either a Teddy Bear or a bag of canned and non-perishable goods, which will be donated to the food bank.  In today’s economy, there are many who are struggling to feed their families and we have an opportunity to give back.  If you prefer to make a cash donation, that will also be appreciated. 

 Since this will be my last Newsletter, as President, I would like to say thank you to all who have pitched in numerous ways to make this year a successful one.  If I tried to name each one, I am sure I would leave someone out, so please know that all of your efforts are greatly appreciated.  It has been a pleasure to serve as your president and I look forward to many more years of fun and fellowship with our wonderful Kentucky Unit friends.  

 See you down the road,

Shala Wilson

McKenzie, Lillie, Savannah, Lindsay and Justin present food they had collected to Deanna Phillips director of  the Grayson Community Food bank.

The park at Carter Caves had quite a bit for the kids to do; swimming, horseback riding, miniature golf and playground activities. The children did them all. In addition to  several sessions  roasting marshmellows and a lot of bike riding. A great time was had by all.

GETTING READY FOR THE GRANDKIDS: 

Okay grandparents, take an extra nap, start taking an extra vitamin a day and eating healthy as you prepare for a fun packed week-end with all those brilliant, beautiful, grandchildren at Carter Cave State Park.  The Wilson’s will be staying in site 20 if all goes as planned; this is near the Bath House so should be convenient for the little (an big) kids.

Bob Gregory has volunteered to plan fun and exciting games for us, the menu is kid friendly, and we hope everyone will take advantage of the pool, miniature golf course, horse back riding and exploring the hiking trails; (or at least one or two of these).  For the big kids, there is a beautiful golf course.  So pack the sunscreen, load up the kids and join us on July 16^th for a fun-filled weekend.

Our service event for the Grandkids Rally will be to collect food for the local food bank.  We are asking that each child bring a donation of one of their favorite canned foods, and that each Unit give as you can.  We are all so blessed that it is a privilege to be able to give to those who are in need.  The Bible teaches we are to care for those less fortunate and this is an area of our state that has a very high level of poverty, so give generously.  We will be taking the foods to the Food Bank on Friday, and encourage involvement of the children in this effort.

Kentucky Unit member, Bob Gregory, won first place in the golf tournament.

Unit President Shala Wilson and First Mate Larry have really gotten the 2009 rally season off to a great start. Despite a little rain the first day of the Derby rally and the Buddy rally, the Kentucky folks continue to gather for some great meals and activities. We even had a couple members hike bare foot to Anglin Falls in Berea.
