M3D Preparations for those headed to ESTILL COUNTY - PLEASE READ - DIRECTIONS, TOOLS, & OTHER IMPORTANT INFO

Vital info if you're headed to Estill County this weekend!  For those not heading to Estill County we'll look forward to worship with you this Sunday at OCHS 10 AM ...

Hey there Estill County folks,

We are so close to this weekend and I am extremely excited about what God is going to do through the Phos Family in Estill County!

This email is very important, because it has a lot of vital information that you will not want to miss.  SO PLEASE READ IT!  I know it can be tempting to skip longer emails, but I am confident that this one will answer a lot of your questions.

1. DIRECTIONS:  - IMPORTANT - DO NOT RELY ON GPS, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS: (Dinner will not be provided at the camp, so please stop and grab something on your way!)

From I-75: Take the Richmond/Irvine Exit 90A. As you exit the interstate you will be on the Richmond Bypass, Rt. 25.  Proceed to a LEFT onto 52 East at the Jeep/Chrysler dealership.  Follow 52 East through Irvine / Ravenna (turn right at courthouse). Follow 52 about 2 miles to flashing yellow light. Go straight through intersection and pick up 1571. Follow 1571 under railroad, and left along river. Follow 5.5 miles until it stops at 52 again (you will have bypassed Tipton Ridge). Turn left onto 52 west, go 1.3 miles to intersection of 1182, 975 and 52. Turn right onto 1182 and then IMMEDIATELY LEFT onto 975. Aldersgate Camp and Retreat Center is at the end of 975 (3.2 miles).

RV DIRECTIONS from Irvine: Off of 52, after turning at the courthouse turn RIGHT at the second stoplight onto Kirkland Ave. Go straight at the stop sign onto 1571 (the one lane train bridge will be on your left). Follow 1571 along river. Follow 5.5 miles until it stops at 52 again (you will have bypassed Tipton Ridge). Turn left onto 52 west, go 1.3 miles to intersection of 1182, 975 and 52. Turn right onto 1182 and then IMMEDIATELY LEFT onto 975. Aldersgate Camp and Retreat Center is at the end of 975 (3.2 miles).

2. REGISTRATION:
 
is from 5:00 - 8:00 pm in the chapel.  You can follow the Ph signs, once you enter the grounds of the camp.  If for some reason you are going to be arriving after 8:00 o'clock please email me and let me know.  If you arrive after 8:00 you still need to check in at the chapel.  Our first event of the weekend will take place at the campfire at 9:00 pm.  It will be a mandatory meeting for at least one member of your family to attend, so please make plans to attend.

3. TOOLS:  Attached to this email is a list of all tools needed this weekend.  If you are working in a particular area, find the appropriate area and bring any tools that you might have to help.  There are a few tools, if you have them,  that it would be good to bring for others to use - no matter what area you are working in.

These tools are as follows:  
Rakes, shovels, rubber gloves, gas powered weed eaters with oil mixture & extra fuel, Gas powered chainsaws with bar oil, & gas mixture, Lopping shears, Paint brushes and roller frames and rollers, cordless drills w/ a variety of bits.
Please make sure all of your tools are labeled.

4. PACKING LIST:  Attached to this email is the original Packing list and info sheet that you received when signing up for the trip.  Please check it out and make sure you are prepared.  Some important things that I would like to reiterate that you bring are as follows:  Bedding & linens- blankets, sleeping bags, sheets, towels etc....., Old shoes(especially for kids who plan to play in the creek), bathing suits - the pool will be open), flashlights for camp

fire,
bug & snake
repellent, utensil for s'mores.

4. HOSPITALITY ROOM & WALKIE TALKIES:  Throughout the weekend there will be a hospitality room open for all Phos folk.  It would be great if you could bring some treats to supply this room.  Things that would be nice, are fruit, chips, homemade cookies and snacks.  In addition, walkie talkies could come in very handy around camp.  If you have some available and wouldn't mind bringing them, please email me  and let me know.

4. SUNDAY DINNER:  One of the things I am most excited about this weekend is the dinner we will have together on Sunday night.  We have made incredible arrangements at a local Restaurant called Riverview in Irvine.  The restaurant has a beautiful deck that overlooks the river & they are opening up their doors just for us on Sunday night.  The meal is included in your price already paid for the weekend and it will be a great opportunity to celebrate what God has done throughout the weekend.  Please make plans for your family to stay through dinner on Sunday and enjoy the fellowship with the rest of the Phos family.  We should be finished with dinner between 6:30 and 7:00 and everyone will be able to head home from there.
