Boy, exciting things are happening for Retreat & Refresh Stroke Camp! The camp season has started and we’ve had a blast with the 50’s Rock ‘n Roll theme. Everyone seems to know at least some of the music from that era. Hula hoops, bubble gum, saddle shoes, and car hops help us to really rock it out this year. This year we will complete 20 camps which will bring our total since that first camp in 2004 to over 100 ! It is also exciting to report our overwhelming success with the Strike Out Stroke events that have been held already this year. These events allow us to get the F.A.S.T. message out to the masses (see related article in this newsletter). We have 11 down and seven (7) to go. We hope to grow these events even more next year.
Finally, I am thrilled to report that our corporate office has moved. We have found new office space where everything will be under the same roof. For several years, we have had things in four different places around town. When preparing for our camps, it requires going from place to place in order to gather all we need. Having everything under the same roof will be amazing. For the time being, our mailing address will remain the same. We have lots of work to do before the camp season gets crazy busy, but it will be well worth it. Next newsletter we will post some photos, especially Lauren near her window, the biggest criteria for our new space!
