Christmas Banquet
If you live in Alberta, you know that the weather was not the greatest last weekend. The Calgary Police apparently responded to 110 accidents within four hours on Friday. The highways were ... scary. As a result, we cancelled the Christmas Banquet, sort of.
Instead of our planned 60+ guests, we had a quieter night with 25 friends: of our neighbours, who all still came out, along with two Medicine Hat couples, one Red Deer family and a Coaldale couple. We salute you all for your bravery, and thank God you made it here and back safely!
Even with a much smaller group than initially planned, we had a great night: yummy food (thanks, Ken!), good visiting, happy carolling (thanks, Colleen, Sydney and Kiah!) and some of us played fun games after dinner.
Since we didn't get to say it to everyone we'd hoped to at the banquet: thank you again, to all the folks who support us during the year -- people who significantly impact our life as a Camp by donations of their time, finances or other resources. You know who you are, and we love you!

Mmmm, dinner.

Glad the evening was still enjoyed by some.
