From da Chief!!!!!

Aho Creeksters,

We had a great meeting yesterday. Thank you to the Cougar family for hosting! Our main activity was to work on the turquoise feather, which is the "swim" feather. Chief did not have a chance to sign off all of the Little Braves' feather books for this activity, but please bring them for signing at your first opportunity. If you still need a feather book, there is a link to the new and improved electronic version at http://creekofcanaveral.blogspot.com/

The tribe was edumacated by a couple of great presentations. Notably, Soaring Eagle earned his green feather with a great description of the symbols on Indian Guide headband and patch, and Ice Lizard earned his green and black beads by providing us some safety insights, as well as a great history of the Creek tribe and the locations that all of our Nation's tribes once existed.

This weekend is our September campout at KARS park. We typically converge on the park around dinner time. The tribe is not planning on providing dinner Friday, so feed the brave prior. We will however, be providing, breakfast Sat. and Sun, lunch and dinner Saturday. Lunch will be with the Nation, and it appears that the Creek campsite will be the focal point of much of the weekends flurry of activity. This is a fun campout, without any competitive events, and it is a great way to ease into another wonderful year of Indian Guides activities. We look forward to kicking back as a tribe, in the great outdoors, and spending time with our sons.

I will be posting any outstanding camp duties on the new Creek qlubb site. You will be seeing an email forthcoming on qlubb for said camp duties. For the new guys who intend to join us this weekend: a HEARTY welcome!!! The tribe has all the cooking gear, so just show up with a tent, sleeping bags, a camp chair, and a cooler for your drinks (for dads and kids). We've got the rest covered!!

We are pretty close to having all the dues paid up. If you still owe, it is $25 for the Nation, $15 for the YMCA, and $100 for the (most of) years' meals on the campout. Sorry to frontload all of the fees. Also, we still have some of the beautifully handcrafted indian vests available for a suggested donation of $10, courtesy of Orange Monkey's mom, Jeanine! Thanks Jeanine!!

Stand by for more emails about the upcoming campout. It will be fun, see you there. This would be a good week to purchase some insect repellent.
