Enchilada Dinner at the Grange[/caption]

May 1, 2013

This Wednesday is going to be my youngest daughter’s birthday and also, May Day. Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!

Now, I know, everyone wants to celebrate the first of May differently, but when I was a little girl in Deephaven, Minnesota we would go to the woods and pick white bloodroots and purple violets and other spring flowers that were poking their heads out of the snow!! Then we’d make little baskets of flowers and put them on the door or doorsteps of our neighbors to wish them all a happy May Day and celebrate spring!

Wish that I had oodles of flowers and little baskets to put on the doors of each of our Klamath Neighbors who make our town and the communities along the beautiful wild Klamath River so delightful. NO matter how lovely it is, it is the friendly wonderful neighbors that make it such a wonderful place to live.

Thank you for all you do for your family, friends and neighbors. And thank you for all you volunteer do to make our community so great!

the first days of May will be busy!! Thuesday is the National Day of Prayer and believers will gather at the Flagpole in Happy Camp at noon next to the post office for prayer.
Friday is the Enchilada Dinner at the Grange. (see below for informatin on this delicious dinner)
and Saturday is the Curly Jack Road Yard Sale day with some of the proceeds going to the Happy Camp Community Neighborhood Watch program.

Tuesday is the monthly Happy Camp Chamber of Commerce meeting at six at the Chamber office 35 Davis Road.
Thanks again for all you do!!

Saturday was also the Happy Camp High Prom!

The junior class did a grand job of decorating and there was food, loud music and beautiful ladies and handsome young men for an evening of fun.

West Timbrook was the Prom King in his camouflage jacket. West’s friendly out going personality makes him stand out even in camouflage and Cassidy Littlewas his beautiful date. The Prom Queen was Bridget Koons who made a lovely queen. In fact, they all looked so handsome and beautiful that they seemed to have matured a lot for this evening.

This Sunday was Palm Sunday on the calendar of many churches. The day celebrates the day that Jesus rode a young donkey into the city of Jerusalem. People sang, “Hosanna” and laid palm branches on the road, so it became Palm Sunday. The week that was to come, he would fellowship with Lazarus (who was alive again) ate the last supper at Passover with His disciples, had times of prayer, was arrested, tortured through several hearings, and crucifixion.

The joyous celebration on the first day of next week, Sunday, is the Resurrection from death and the grave.

No one has been able to tell me when the tradition of Sunrise Service at the Happy Camp Airport to celebrate the Resurrection began. It began before the Christian Fellowship with Pastor Kirk Eadie was here. It began before the Assembly of God was built in 1973. As far back as I can recall, it was celebrated each year by the Happy Camp Bible Church. If anyone recalls when the practice began, I’d appreciate your input,

Since it has been going on a very long time, it is also inclusive of all who wish to celebrate the Resurrection and all are welcome.

This year Pastor Stan Poeschel of the Happy Camp Bible Church will open in prayer. Pastor Kirk Eadie, Alex, Abbye and Robyn will have their guitars and voices ready to make music. Pastor Bill Estes of the Assembly will bring a message. All are welcome and encouraged to come. It is at 7:30 up at the Happy Camp Airport on Sunday morning!!

Following the outdoor service all are invited to potluck breakfast at the Assembly of God Church in Indian Meadows. Since it is potluck, bring a breakfast dish to share with everyone.

There were plans for an Easter Egg Hunt and I’m sure that will be fun for all the children. However, I’ve been unable to find out what the time is for the Hunt to begin. My memory is stuck back in the days when the Happy Camp Lions Club had a big Easter Egg Hunt at the High School Football Field, and if you were just a tiny bit late, the children had been released and rushed to find all the eggs and you might just miss out! So I don’t want to misinform you of the time or place. As soon as I find out, it will be posted on the Happy Camp, CA Chamber of Commerce Facebook page for those of you who have Facebook. Hopefully we will post on the bulletin boards as well.

In the meantime, read about Dave McCracken’s new book, Extreme Prospector, on the Art & Entertainment page.
See the Happy Camp Elementary Students march in a Anti-bullying parade on Children & Youth Page.
And check out the Calendar. Please let us know of any group or organization event that isn’t listed so that it can be corrected right away. Thanks for your help, wonderful readers!!!

Don’t forget the Community Solutions and Neighborhood Watch Meeting at the Log Schoolhouse on Monday, March 11th. This is an area that we all have a stake in keeping our children drug and alcohol free and keeping our community crime free! Deputy Nye has been a great help and volunteers are needed as are those who will help take the next step at the coming meeting. Call Doreen for more information at FRC 493-5117

Happy Camp Coordinating Council, those hard working volunteers who plan the Bigfoot Jamboree for Labor Day will also be meeting at the Pizza House at 5:30 to make plans.

Narional Volunteer Week isn’t until April 21-27th and I remember when Eddie Davenport was president of the Chamber and each organization gave recognition to their top volunteers at a picnic in the River park. However, any time of year is a good time to thank all our volunteers!!

Whether it be the Grange, Chamber, Family Resource Center, Community Solutions and Neighborhood Watch, or other organizations in Happy Camp; to have our community healthy and growing we all must pitch in and help out where we can.
Are you an active member, the kind that would be missed?
Or are you just contented that your name is on the list?
Do you attend the meetings and mingle with the flock?
Or do you stay at home to criticize and knock?
Do you take an active part to help the work along?
Or are you satisfied to only just belong?
Do you work with your committee and get right in and mix?
Or leave the work to just a few and talk about the cliques?
Think it over, member–you know right from wrong!
Are you an active member or do you just belong?

We’ll have news on the Monday’s meeting on the community page after the meeting.
Happy Camp Coordinating Councils news will be out on the bigfoot jamboree.com page after that meeting also.
Thank you for helping us keep others informed as you let us know what is happening. We appreciate your help in this way.

I apologize that the calendar is not working at present but it will be soon or we will go with a different format for the calendar. Thank you for your patience in the meantime.

Call Chamber 493-2900 weekday afternoons or leave a message on the machine for the next volunteer who comes in. Thank you to all our Klamath Neighbors!!
