Program:
** Well, another summer has come and gone. We are happy to report that we had 22 salvations, 9 rededications, and 11 other recorded decisions. Praise the Lord!
** Here are our campers numbers: Junior Weeks 1 and 2 were down by 47 campers; Jr. High Week was down by 18 campers; Sr. High week was up by 11 campers; Family Camp Week was up by 14 campers. The rental weeks were by 101 campers, which included a third rental week this year.

Labor Day Retreat – September 4 to 7
Ladies Retreat – September 11 and 12
Senior Saints – September 15

** Next year’s theme: “Give Me Ten For The Lord” 1 Thess. 5:16-26.
** All of our speakers are in place for next year, and the schedule will be on the website in a few weeks.

Facilities:
** Everything held up this summer with no problems! EVERYONE (girls) loved the new cabins, and we received great reviews.

Finances:
** Praise – The end of July report showed we are approximately $41,000 ahead of where we were last year at that time.
** Another Praise – We budget $2,000 for the air in the new cabins for June & July. Actual cost for the those two months . . . $600.00!

Promotional:
** Work on the promotional kit is underway. Lots of good stuff is going into it.
** Brochures will be available by November.

Prayer Requests:
** Kealens
** Silvers – Charlotte is due August 25 (she’ll never make it)
** The 22 salvations this summer
** Executive Meeting this Saturday to go over the facilitator suggestions.
** Board meeting on August 21 to go over Executive committee recommendations.
** The neighbors: the judge ruled on nothing. There is another court date scheduled for September 16. Tensions are starting to run high as this will now be over a year since the situation started, and the one in the wrong is starting to do some foolish things to the easement and camp.
