Next Creek "Extreme" outing

Guys,
Our next "kick-butt" Creek tribe gathering is to be held May 3rd. This is the day after the Publix fundraiser to sell our remaining raffle tickets. First off, please attend this fundraiser to help fatten our tribe's coffers.

We will be meeting at 9:00 am on Sunday May 3rd at the Valiant Air Command. This group is headquartered in Titusville at the TICO airport. Address is 6600 TICO road, Titusville. We will be guided through a tour of the facility, airplanes, and also have some orientation flights for the Braves. Each Brave will be flown in a Christian Eagle or a T-34 B IT WILL BE A BLAST.

Have you ever heard us say, "you don't want to miss this one?" Let me reiterate in more understandable terms for any slow on the uptake:

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS ONE!!

Please check out the website for this organization: http://www.vacwarbirds.org/

Our pilot would like all the little Braves to have checked out some of the info on the DC-3/C-47 aircraft which is maintained by the Command. He is the plane's Chief Pilot, and it is truly a flying piece of history, having flown on D-Day, the Battle of Bastogne, and the Berlin Airlift. In fact, when the plane was being restored in Titusville, the restoration crew found coal dust which was from deliveries during the Berlin Airlift!!!

We need a head count for the Little Braves. Dads if you are out of town, (Monkey and Dragon dads or others), and you want your kids to participate in this monumental even, please call Pletch. Also, this is a seriously grand recruiting opportunity. PLEASE try to bring a new family with some younger braves to show them how the mighty CREEK IS IN DA HOUSE!!!!!!!!!1

Site of the 2009 State Pow Wow`

If you were there, it was fun, if you missed it, we missed you. We had three Creek families which totalled 10 campers attend this year's State event. It was marked by nearly perfect weather in a pristine site in Umatilla Florida. We met on Friday afternoon for the caravan at US1 and 528, trailering 2 equipment trailers. Our travels took us through old Florida traversing the lands North of Orlando, through Lake and Marion counties. For dinner, we arrived at the Crazy Gator on the shores of Lake Eusits, since Tom was offended by the beauty of the waitresses at Tom's Shucker House. Since camp had already been prepared, we stopped at Winn Dixie, Charlie got a Winn Dixie card and we saved big on groceries for the weekend. So much so, that Saturday evening meal was a delish rib eye feast which capped the day full of father and son (daughter) activities including the ropes course, critter race (2nd place by Lizard Princess--of the STATE) archery, marshmallow gun wars, Slip and Slide and all around Y Guide, Florida Fun. Tom Cat has stepped up for the position of Tribal Chief next year, and only one conflagaration was noted between the CIW (Chief in Waiting)and Mighty Lizard. Chuckles mediated for a peaceful outcome and we all jammed to Robie's fireside guitar tunes. The hosting Nation put on a sweet broken arrow ceremony, and reminded all of us dads how important our role is in our kid's lives. We missed all the guys who could not make it.
