Battalion Fellowship
Captain Vanderford would like to invite all staff and their families to a welcome gathering in the Dining Room at 7:00 PM, Friday, June 30. The time will include snacks and ice-breakers as well as some free time to enjoy games together at the end. Please bring along any games you wish to share!
July 4th Cookout
The kitchen will be serving a cookout-style dinner at the campground at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, July 4. All are welcome to join the Battalion for outdoor games beginning at 5:00 PM. You're welcome to RSVP below or bring your own picnic.
Big Sandy Fireworks
Big Sandy will be hosting their annual 4th of July Celebration with a parade on Wildcat Drive at 8:30 PM, Games at 9:00 PM, and Fireworks at 9:45 PM. 
State Representative Town Hall
Our State Representative, Cole Hefner, will be speaking at the Gilmer Civic Center (next to Walmart) regarding recent legislation on Thursday, June 29, at 6:00 PM. This would be an opportunity to hear about the various issues and laws that were debated and passed in this last session. There should be time for questions and answers from our State Representative as well.
Welcome Baby Kaiden
Daniel and Kathryn welcomed Kaiden Jireh Staddon on Saturday, June 10. He weighs 9lb 10oz and measures 22 inches long. If you'd like to support the Staddon's with a meal during this time, you can do that here!
Mayflower Minutes
The lake has been a wonderful resource of family fun for the Mayflower group. In order to help more people enjoy the lake, swimming lessons are being taught by Brother Chris Steigerwald, who is a trained water safety instructor. He has been organizing and teaching swimming for the Mayflower group and these lessons will be going on through the summer until the end of July.
Battalion Update | Capt. Vanderford
The third training quarter of 2023 began on Tuesday night with Battalion leadership training. The fourteen students in 2nd Phase and one flight student arrived Saturday and everyone is settling in well. There is still much for the new responders to learn, but with a solid Battalion leadership team, I have no doubt that they’ll be well-adjusted to battalion life in no time. Please pray for wisdom and strength for each of us in leadership and for God to do His work in the lives of the men.
