Iron Sharpens Iron Success

Hi Guys,

A big thank you to all of you who came and helped with the Iron Sharpens Iron event. I was very pleased, as an attendee, to see Battalion 3273 guys helping out with the event. Thanks again for doing it. Please also thank Captain Howard for all the effort he put into the event.

If you weren't able to attend unfortunately you missed a fantastic time. Bill Perkins and Ryan Walter gave really good key note talks.

Thanks again guys,

Lt. Garth

BC Lions game this Saturday

Guys,

While there is no official "Kickoff with the BC Lions", we are still going to a game, if you want to come...

The game is this Saturday, September 15th. We can go as a group meeting at 2:15pm at the church side parking lot, or we can meet down there at 3:00pm. You can get your tickets from me at the north end of the Science World Parking Lot at 3:00pm.

The tickets are $33 each and we will be sitting together in the endzone of the Upper Bowl. We will be with other Brigade Units. Our Battalion will be hanging around with the Grand Forks guys after the game. It ends at 8pm, but we won't have you home until 11:00pm. We will be having a very good time.

The is NO Tailgate Party and no food or pop. You may want to bring $10 for McD's or Costco before or after the game.

I need to hear from you very soon if you want to go, so tell me ASAP.

Man, I'm looking forward to this because we're going to have some FUN!

Bright and Keen for Christ, guys. We can do this.

Summertime Fun!

Well, those who went to CSB N-Vision celebrating 75 years of Christian Service Brigade are back and they all seem to have come home intact. I'm hoping to get some pictures and a write-up of what they experience and post it here so those of us who were unable to go can see what we missed.

We're still meeting on Thursdays. Sometimes it's AirSoft, sometimes it's boardgames, maybe football or frisbee golf. Hope to see you there next Thursday.

Remember that in September we will be having out Kick-Off BBQ and that date will be announced very soon.

All the best with the summer,

Lt. Garth

Survived Winter Camp!

Congratulations to those of you who survived the annual 'We're Crazy But We Don't Care Winter Camp' at Manning Park this year. According to leaders who went it was one of the colder camps we've had. Those first-timers learned that it is important to have enough clothing and to stay dry.

Here's the video!

We have a WINNER!!!!

Congratulations to Gavin D. who won the All-Comers race with his Shape'N'Race car on Saturday.

Overall it was a day filled with some fantastic racing including the head-to-head battle of the Demo Class including our Captain Howard having one of his cars disqualified (you'll have to ask him about that). Good times were had, races were run and hot dogs were consumed.

See you Thursday when hopefully we'll be presenting Gavin with his trophy.

Also remember this weekend is the We're Crazy But We Don't Care Winter Camp at Manning Park.
