Crossed Oaks Haven

Hi,  I am looking at the website and see the last Blog here is from April.  We have been very busy lately and I have been trying to keep our Facebook page updated and the email page.  It would probably be nice to have a secretary to help me with all of the things we have to follow and keep updated.

Our Naturally Fun Times 10 newsletter has been rewritten and reprinted for handing out when we are traveling around.  I fear my brain has gotten a bit scattered lately and sometimes shows up in my writing so that the first one I emailed out was a bit fractured.  

May took us to the beach for some misadventures which were still fun.  Though we did make it out before the fire that kept our other friends on the bus.  We did have some discussion with the Jacksonville group of possibly doing something like having the bus pick us up at the visitor center to take us to lot 5 next year.  We have to stay in communication with the Jacksonville group if we want to try this again.  It sounded like if we would like to plan something similar in the future they might want to join.

We were a little fearful that our membership would be too small to be a chartered club but we have had a few new people join and some transfers.  Our membership has grown with the addition of Tom, Kenneth, and a couple Shasta and Doug.  Next weekend at Lake Como is the Florida AANR convention that promises to be very fun.  Patti will be stuck in some of the meetings but hopefully everyone will get to enjoy the corn festival and you will find Patti dancing at night.

The club pot luck on May 17th was a bit crowded on the pavilion and the pool was a bit cool yet but still a wonderful time.  Our next potluck is on July 4th.  I know that many people do family times and we can probably still go somewhere local to hang out on 5th.  The following weekend in July promises to be very crazy and fun with Cypress Cove and Haulover on the agenda.

Memorial day weekend was truly everything it should be.  We were at a wonderful resort ,SVR, and able to spend time with old friends and make some new friends.  Some of our group was also at Cypress Cove so we missed some of the comraderie available.  Suwanee Valley definitely shared the meaning of memorial day with us.  We were able to assist them in a few ways with the veterans initiative and will continue to help whenever we attend their events.  

The first weekend in June a couple of members went to Lake Como.  I don't know if we want to apply for the Schofield award or not.  I have not started tracking mileage for 2014-2015.  I was working so not able to go to Como but we had a wonderful time at Sunny Sands the weekend of June 6-8.  We thoroughly enjoy meeting all of the other folks that participate in the 5 K runs.  I know that I am inspired to try and do a walking 5 K.  I was trying to promote our club to the folks there to get them to join us for our Anniversary in September.  There are runs scheduled in August at SVR, September at Cypress Cove and November at Paradise Lakes.

Unfortunately due to an illness with our dog we are missing our trip to Cypress Cove this weekend.  I hope to get there sooner than our July trip.  In July we will be very busy and I hope to see all of you soon.
