2. I want to pass along some information about the upcoming Aaronic Priesthood Commemoration (aka Fathers and Sons) Campout on May 15-16.
We will be camping at the Lake Lanier Islands Resort. We will have a brief devotional Friday evening followed by a "dessert potluck" -- bring a snack to share. The Stake will provide some marshmallows for roasting as well. Also, the Stake will provide breakfast on Saturday morning. We can check into the campsite any time after 4 pm and check out is 1 pm. We will make arrangements to have parking passes available at the Gate House (see below), but please arrange to carpool if possible. Check in for the 1200s campsites (1208-1211).
Brother Mike Fisher passed along some additional information about the site as well as some directions to the site (see below).
