OEMM August 2009 Newsletter

We had a great camp out and mountain man skill day in July. The weather was hot. Despite the weather we enjoyed shooting, starting fire, learning herbs, knife and hawk throwing and beading. We also enjoyed visiting with each other for the weekend.

If you have not heard, Troy Crosbie was in a horrible accident and was in the hospital. He is now out of the hospital and home but is still mending from lots of broken bones and cuts. At the last meeting the club felt it was important for us to help them with a few of their bills because Troy will be out of work for some time. If any of you are interested in contributing to the family on your own there is an account set up at any ZIONS bank under Dani Crosbie’s name.

Dani wishes to thank the club and all of you for your thoughts and concern during this hard time. She appreciated all of the thoughts, calls, and prayer.

It was voted to buy anew amplifier for our sound system. Les is working on getting the system up and running.

Ken Wilson has new CD’s with photos of the last rendezvous on them. They are really neat and he is willing to sell you a copy for $15.00. He does great work and you may even find yourself in a photo.

Fran offered to let us come and camp at her house for the next meeting however the presidency looked at our up coming calendar and decided that the next meeting for August will not be camp out so we can fit everything in this year we want to get done. Thank you for the offer.

Our next meeting will be held August 15th. We will be going to the museum of fine arts on the U of U campus 410 Campus Center Dr. (just follow 4th south East and watch for UFAM signs) They have an amazing display of Native American artifacts.
