CAMP COMMITTEE - we are rapidly moving through our Turner Camp Youth program with only a few weeks left.  We want to thank all of the volunteers who have participated so far in making this a terrific season, not only for the Youth and Tiny Tots but for Camp as a whole.  But the work is not done - we have the Final Show on 8/5 and it requires many volunteers to set up and tear down the event.  We will be setting up an on-line volunteer tool that you will be able to log into and submit your information.  If you have children who have been enjoying their time in the program this Summer, this is a great opportunity to help support them and their experiences.  We will communicate the on-line sign-up tool specifics in the next Bulletin.  Please check the bulletin and your Camp Calendar as this weekend brings; Penny Social, 4 Person Volleyball Tournament, Ladies Auxiliary Card Party, New/Existing Cottage Owners Meeting and Baers Birthday Party - a full weekend for certain.  See you around Camp,   Camp Committee

RESTARUANT - The hits just keep on coming!  The Friday Fish Fry special is Kurt Zitta's Goulash (could be Hungarian, who knows?).  On Saturday Tom Webb (the ringer) is bring us his King Ranch Chicken (who was King, and what was on his ranch?).  Next week's Friday Fish fry Special is Laurie VanDahm's Pulled Pork tenderloin.  We appreciate when folks step up and do a special as it makes it eaiser on the Restaurant crew.  If you have something you'd like to share with your fellow campers, let me know!

This week's spotlight is on Randy Roe.  He's the 3rd longest serving Fish Fry crew member.  His mom is Val Roe who served on council and was the District Secretary in the early 2000s.  Randy has served on council for years and most recently piloted Aurora Turners through the pandemic.  Which is no small feat!  He's our senior Fry guy and has taught Randy Gunderson (more on him next week) everything he knows.  Thanks Randy!

SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL - Bring your cowboy hats and wear your boots. Come have a taste of the southwest this Saturday night. Tom and the crew are serving up a Texas favorite, King Ranch chicken casserole. The king Ranch is the largest ranch in Texas sitting at 825,000 acres. No it is not the four sixes ranch that’s on Yellowstone, that’s Hollywood, although that is a real ranch and is very large also. Come on, it’s Texas!! King Ranch chicken is one of the fixings they serve up to their hundreds of cowboys to help them keep raglan those cattle and they love it. So come on down to the Rathskeller ranch and get your fill y’all!!

YOUTH – ONTO THE HOMESTRETCH!!
Thank you all for continued love and support towards our youth Program this summer it has meant the world!! Olympic Week went amazing for the campers, learning how to work in teams, trust each other, and respect every other team, it was amazing to watch these kids grow! Founders Day was a blast and we were so happy to share our Marching number with all of you Turners, it was one of the most heartwarming things to get to be apart of and share a bit of history/tradition with all of you fellow Turners! Campers are continuing to work and play hard together all while not focusing on the end of the season coming closer and closer! We have such a fun couple of weeks left and we know it's going to be great! The 10&O Sleepout was another HUGE success and we would like to thank ALL Scarers who took the time out of their nights to come help scare the kiddos on their walk around camp. THANK YOU!
