We are finishing up the tallying on our Chapter FCF Fall Trace. Just wanted
to say thanks to all that made this event happen. Thanks to Don Bixler for
getting us the patches as he has since long before I came here. So many faithful
folk doing work behind the scenes to make these things happen.

Rockafellow and Paul Serb for sharing with us these pictures.

all these pictures.
As many of you have prayed for our SW VP Joshua Pennekamp as he came down with
Covid 2 days before the event it put us in a bit of a spin to cover for his
leadership at the crack of a whip. Our current Chapter President Frank Reed had
stepped down a month or so before the event as Chapter President due to family
illness. Joshua was working on prizes and organization and preparing for this
event as he like many of us loves these events. So after his phone call and a
prayer John and Twiggy and Mark Jones (me) were commissioned to carry the torch
and keep this fire going on this event. Many of you stepped up to cover the void
for the mission at hand. Thank each of you! I praise God for you!
Ok now the tears well up in my eyes as I start thinking of each of you that
impacted my life this weekend working with our boys and helping run these events
and loading up and bring your FCF Kit to this event. The fellowship the
contribution each of you give is so important. Your willingness to help with a
donation of a hide or trade item or a really expensive thing that a young buck
will cherish for many years makes a difference. Our time spells we love these
souls with a giving heart.
The Bible tells us to give Honor where Honor is due even when it hurts to do
that. It's God's Words to do so. Thank you!
We had 50 in attendance. 34 Ole Timers and 16 Young Bucks. Each brought a event
fee and contributed toward prizes, camp fees, patch fees and insurance and camp
up keep. Our 173 year old log cabin that was moved was put to use this weekend
with the camp store inside. Looking up and seeing that cabin/chapel/store being
used to Reach, Teach and Keep, Life Long Servant Leaders for Christ warmed my
heart. Yes some of those event fees will help out on that cabin. I think we have
about 5000.00 in that cabin restoration. So giving goes the distance today and
for eternity.
Weather was warm with the highs in the mid to upper 80s. No rain was a blessing
this year. Last year we had 5" of mud. The new gravel down the middle of our FCF
area sure made loading and unloading gear much better thanks RR exec. committee
for getting that stuff done right away.
Missions Offering was once again given half to a missionary and half to the
campground. Our funds in hand was about 1600.00 with another 800 pledged. So we
voted to give half of our money collected on hand to Jay Jaques missionary.
