Just an idea - if you're thinking of coming to the Reunion and would like to share a room with someone, please let me know. I can work on pairing you up if there's enough interest.

This morning I was made aware that some people are confused about registering for the Reunion if they live in Lynchburg or are staying with friends in Lynchburg.

If you LIVE IN LYNCHBURG or are STAYING WITH FRIENDS IN LYNCHBURG you still must register for the Reunion. This has nothing to do with registering at the Kirkley Hotel.

To access the Registration form go to:
youthaflame.org
click on "Register" in the left column
follow the prompts
You will be given two payment options: check or PayPal/credit card.

If you prefer to register and pay by August 1st: when you get to the part where you choose your method of payment, choose CHECK. That will allow you to pay the $65.00/per person later. The FULL amount must to be paid by AUGUST 1, 2009!

Please make your check out to Sheila Colclasure and mail to:
3823 Ridgeoak
Dallas, TX 75244

Notes:
1. to those paying to check: you'll need to include a note to me letting me know if you want any of the special items (t-shirt and size, CD, DVD).
2. the $65.00 does NOT include lodging. We have made special arrangements with the Kirkley Hotel in Lynchburg for lodging. Call them at 434 237 6333 / 866 510 6333 toll free. Tell them you are part of the YA Reunion group.

Hope this helps,
Sheila


Many of you have asked for copies of:

1. The Christian Leadership Book (which Gordon taught from) and
2. David A Teenage Winner (authored by Dennis Henderson).

Both books have been beautifully reproduced by Rich Steininger and are attached in PDF for your use.

A BIG thank you to Rick for his help!!!

The last book, The Prodigal Son (authored by Dennis Henderson) will be available a little later.

This is a ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT! It will never happen on this scale again. We have people coming from AUSTRALIA, BRAZIL, FRANCE and RUSSIA!!!

Reservations are coming in really well. The "Who's Coming So Far" attachment is below. I know of at least 30 more who are coming, but have not signed up yet. I'm sure there's many more that I don't know about.

Shuttle transportation is available from the airport. Call the hotel when you arrive and they will pick you up (434 237 6333 / 866 510 6333 toll free).

If you have registered at the Hotel, but not with me for the Reunion OR vise versa you need to do that. All in all, you'll be making TWO separate reservations.


More later,
Sheila

Hi to all:
I am sitting at my ten foot picture window at camp looking out at 200 foot tall Ponderosa Pine Trees preparing for our 20th summer season since returning to Lassen Pines. I was thinking of the time I was sitting here and Falwell called me to come to Lynchburg. WOW! I just finished reading about fifty bios and realized how it all began. You guys are some kind of inspiriation!! I cannot wait to see you all and get a big hug from all of you and your kids and yes your grandkids. Ouch!! I heard from Sheila that registrations are a little slow and I think she got a little nervous about our numbers. I am sure there are many reasons for your delay in registrations, but whatever I want her and you to know that I am not worried about numbers, but rather the motives of whoever does come. I am coming because I need the blessing of reuniting with (outside my family) the folks who mean more to me then anything else in this world. If it just ten of us, it will be worth the effort. Of course, we have to remember that most of the effort has been Sheila's!

If you have not seen the bios yet, you have a treat in store. I have been printing them off and plan to make my own book with them to read in my old age when the "steam roller" runs out of steam.

Pray for camp this summer. We are praying for 1000 decisions. Wish you could visit.


Love you all,
Gordon and Dottie

Hi all, just wanted to let you know that we have 91, that's NINETY ONE, rooms already reserved at the Kirkley Hotel!!! Wahoo!

The only rooms left are:
10 non-smoking doubles
1 smoking King
8 smoking doubles

I would advise you to grab one quick if you need to reserve a room!!
