Please note the schedule at the end of this letter with the fun events we have planned.

Some changes have been made, so read and bring what you need to participate.

Items to Bring:
Here are some items I recommend you bring:
*Bring family, food and join in on the fun!
*Items for the auction-homemade preferred. Helps support camping expenses.
*Bats, balls and gloves for family softball game.
*Music, instruments, CD’s for songs and Sunday Service. (We have changed this some)

Please follow Campground Rules. They are posted in Pavilion. No Smoking and No Alcohol please.

NEW:
There will be a Quiet Time for All in Campground, between 12 Midnight and 7 AM. This means lights out and quiet for everyone. Campfire is okay but has to be Quiet! Thanks!

Dorms/Camping Registration:
Upon Arrival! Register with Donella Tolbert. You can pre-register with Donella for cabins and dorms, not tent/camper sites as they are registered upon arrival. Contact Donella at donellatolbert@yahoo.com or call 433-488-9005 to reserve a space.

Youth Dorms:
Please sign youth up with Melody and Brian. Youth must be signed in by parent or guardian to stay in dorm. During the Day between 9am-7pm Youth are to be with rest of family for meals, games etc..
--The Young Men will be on one end with Brian and Adult Helper, and The Ladies on other end with Melody and Adult Helper. Youth Dorm open Friday, Sat and Sunday Nites only. Dorm will be cleaned and vacated by 6pm Monday evening.

Pricing:
No rate increase again this year for rooms or camp sites. $10 a night for campers or tents with electric/water sites: $20 a night for water/electric/sewer sites: $10 a night per room for the dorm. There is no charge for the youth dorm if an immediate adult family member stays in a paid area. A $5 per night fee will apply if no parent or guardian is staying on grounds. We hope to keep these low rates by doing well with offering and family auction.

New Campground Suggestions:
Those of you who voted for hunting for another campground need to contact Stan Petty so we can put together a committee so you will have some ideas to present at this year’s reunion meeting. I have sent out a couple letters with no response. Email Stan at: spetty@amfam.com or call 765-425-2307.

Pray for Ben Shattuck

This message was sent to me by Melody (Shattuck) Bennett, Uncle Mac's daughter.  Steve is Uncle Mac's son and Ben is Uncle Mac's grandson.  Please pray for him!

"Steve's son Ben needs prayer, he is 16. Robin called my parents this evening. Ben had a spot on his leg a couple days ago that looked like a spider bite. It got worse so Robin took him to the doctor. The dr said that it is full of infection and if it continues to move up his leg and get in his groin, it can get in his liver and this can be fatal. Please pray that the infection goes away."

Please Pray for Gloria

Wahneita, Aunt Georgie's daughter, asked that I post this on here so we can pray for Gloria.

"Keep Gloria in your prayers please. She really needs to be able to gain a few pounds to be able to continue Chemo. She has thrush in her mouth and throat. The tumors are shrinking. So continue to pray for her. Please set aside some time to pray for her :)

I am asking all my friends to send my sister-in-law cards to encourage her. Gloria Klumpp Gratiot Medial Center, Alma Mich 48801 room 2057"

Colton Goes Home To Meet Jesus

Baby Colton reached Heaven's gates this Thursday and what a celebration Jesus had planned for him!  He was welcomed by his Grandpa Jessup and many other family and friends.  Even though this is a sad time for all of us, the angels were rejoicing when this precious, little boy entered Heaven!  Please keep his mommy Rachelle, and his daddy Jr, in your prayers as they will need the strength, that only God can give in a time like this!  His other family members could use your prayers as well.  Below are the visitation hours and the funeral details.  If you can not make it to either but would like to send Rachelle & Jr. Haus a card, please send it to:  201 E. Union St., Apt. 2, Greenville, MI 48838.

Colton Jaymes Haus, one year old, went to be with the Lord Thursday, October 20, 2011 from Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids from complications of hydrocephalus. He was born October 3, 2010, the son of devoted parents Larry and Rachelle (Jessup) Haus. Colton was truly Larry and Rachelle's Little Miracle Baby , living for a year despite his physical struggles. He is survived by his parents, of Greenville; grandparents, Marian Jessup of Greenville, Brenda Elliott of Indiana, and Larry Haus, Sr. of Indiana; great-grandparents, Joseph and Ida Elliott of Indiana and Lois Haus of Indiana; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Nelson Jessup; and uncles, Daniel Jessup and Jeremy Jessup. Funeral services will be held at 1:00 PM Monday, October 24, 2011 at the Rock Lake Bible Methodist Camp Chapel (8101 N. Pine Grove Rd., Vestaburg, MI 48891). Colton's pastor, Rev. Dennis Johnson of the Greenville Bible Methodist Church, will serve as officiant, and interment will follow in Lincoln Township Cemetery near Shepherd. Visitation will be Sunday from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at Hurst Funeral Home, Greenville. Memorial contributions may be given to the Greenville Bible Methodist Church.

Latest Update on Baby Colton

Here is a post from Rachelle's FB status, yesterday, 10/18/11.  Please continue to keep this family in your prayers!

"This is the hardest decision we have ever had to make. The test came back not good. He basically has no brain function at all. We have made the decision to take him off the vent. It wouldn't be fair to him if we kept him like this. No parent should have to go through this. I just pray for Gods strength as we take this step. There are lots of people waiting for Colton with open arms. Including his brother or sister, grandpa, uncles, cousin, and many more....... Thank you all for all the prayers. I wish I could meet everyone in person but since that is not possible. Could you take a minute to copy and repost this so everyone will know how grateful we are for you thoughts and prayers."
