Its Samboree Time!

We had a fantastic time at the 2009 Tennessee "Country Music" Spring Samboree. Yes! it did rain. But, as true Good Sam Club members, we did not let that interfere with the fun, food and fellowship.

The games were great. The seminars were well attended with people asking for some of them to come back. Our vendors were happy with the attendance and seemed to to do well.

We raised $850 through the 50/50 raffle for the Ronald McDonald Houses of Tennessee. Of course, the winners took home the same amount. These funds go to the five houses in Tennessee to help our children and their families cope with an illness.

Our entertainment was the best. We must say a BIG thank you to the Chapters for the skits on Thursday evening. The Jeff Treece Band kept us laughing on Thursday evening. Then on Saturday evening the Jeffers took us on a memory tour through some of the Grand Old Opery days.

Our Sunday morning worship time was inspiring and uplifting. Bill Stewart's message reminded us of the role our mothers played in our lives. As always, Janie Powers touched our spirits with her violin music. Then our memorial service is always a wonderful time of remembering our lost friends/family.
