Entertainment will begin at about 7:30.
We will again have a silent auction, many carnival booths, a Country

fun and entertainment while supporting the
cause of LPBC. This is one of the
major fund raising events of the year to help keep the camp going, so bring the
family and your check book! Annual Meeting - (3:30 - 5:00)
Each
year 6 new members and 4 alternates are selected to serve on the Board of
Directors for LPBC. The board

member serves for 2 years. This
permits a smooth transition for those serving on the board.
To serve on the Board of Directors, a person (male or female) must be an
active member of Little Prairie
Bible Camp who has demonstrate his or her interest in the camp by being involved
in the activities at camp. If

The annual carnival at LPBC always
proves to be an exciting and fun time for everyone.
The kids can participate in a large number of games from fishing to cake
walks. Of course the Sheriff will
be on hand to lock up the bad (just kidding) guys and gals until they can
persuade someone to bail them out. Donalie
Stormes is in charge of the fall festival.
If you have questions or would like to volunteer to help, please contact
Donalie at (573) 299-4849 or e-mail her at dstormes@rolla.k12.mo.us
LPBC operates with volunteers only, so your help is always
welcome.
The ladies will be serving the
greatest turkey dinner you have ever eaten (grandma’s excepted).
The dinner includes all the trimmins along with dessert and drinks.
If you live in or around Rolla, tickets for the dinner are on sale now
from board members; otherwise, you may purchase tickets at the dinner. The price is only: $3.50 for adults and $2 for
kids 10 and under. Sherry
Ternes is in charge of the dinner.

There have been numerous Bibles left at camp and we would
like to locate the owners. We have
Bibles belonging to: Sabrina
Moreland, Tameka Brownlee, David Moss, Patricia Coble, Koch, Andrea Winfrey,
Raymond Cauley Jr., Tim Carden, Emery Spruell, Sammy Black, Amber Michel, Roger
Shiffler, Douglas Holt, Richard Prochasra, Chelsea Knowles, Trisha Hubert.
Thanks for all you do!
How do we ever thank the large number of people who
contribute so much to LPBC each year? Probably
the best way is to have them come to camp during the various sessions and
observe their contributions in action in the hundreds of young people who come
to camp each year. Thank you for
all you do to make LPBC what it is today. Fortunately,
the camp is in use almost continuously from May through September.
There are those who do so much behind the scenes and we only see the
results of their efforts. We are
aware that David Polly generously
donated a large commercial fan, Don and Helen Reeves
donated a semi-truck load of sawdust for the trail,
many cooks, counselors, directors, crafts people, pool people,......the
list goes on and on, gave so much again this year. Many have made cash contributions, some are using an
automatic
withdrawal from their bank account to contribute monthly to help smooth out
the cash flow (we could
use more of these). THANK YOU,
THANK YOU EVERYONE !!
. May God truly bless you for all you do. Another great year at LPBC
Over 600 young people had wonderful spiritual
experiences at camp this summer. Thanks
to all who have contributed to making LPBC what it is today. A quick run down on fund raising activities this year :
Acappella
~ $800
The
seventh annual golf tournament directed by board member, Linda Roberts,
attracted 20 teams in the three-person scramble.
The Dixon-Waynesville trio of Michael Lumpkin, Judd Easterling and Matt
Lewis shot 62 to take first place, tying the tournament record.
All of these fund raisers provide money to keep the camp up to date and
to add new facilities. A new craft
house was completed before camp this summer.
There are plans to start a Director’s cabin this fall.
The Alton Illinois congregation has pledged $1000 towards the cabin.
The “Miller Nature Trail” was started last summer and was added to
this summer. A new firepit
devotional area has been built on the new trail.
Forks and spoons for the kitchen and a finish mower to keep the grounds
neat and trimmed.
