  • A note from the Chairman/PresidentGroeten aan Alle fijne Dads en Dochters van deHogere Prinsessen,

    Tippecanoe, the home of the end of summercampout has come and gone. I hope everyonehad a good time, I know that Gwen and I did.There were boat rides, rocket launches,horseback rides and really good food at thebottom of the hill. New rockets were made andsome old ones were lost, but that is the way itgoes. I think the McMahon’s rocket is stillgoing into the lake even now!

    The old gavel has been replaced by a muchlarger and newer one that even had ashamrock on it. I just have to find a way tokeep it safe and secure. That is a full time job!

    We are going to be having a skit for all threeof the fall campouts, help is needed from anyavailable dads and daughters to run the skit.The dates are October 9th and 16th as well asNovember 6th. We will be cooking some food forthe fourth year Adventure Princesses on theNovember date too. Please call Andy, Keith ormyself to let us know when you can help. Whenthat is done there is the next Laser Tag event.This fills up fast so see your Spotlight fordetails.

    Please be sure to read theSpotlight for details about otherupcoming events.

    Thank You and,Friends Always,Bob, Erin and Gwenevaer [email protected]
