The Golden Valley Community Club will meet at Camp McCall at the upper pavilion on Monday night, we can go in early at 6:00 PM. and see the camp. Longtime camp manager Ronnie Walker will try to have a lifeguard on duty in case someone wants to swim or paddle. There's a waterfall trail, but there's more, come see the cathedral in the woods, see the upper and a lower pavilion, take a walk around the pond, listen to the water rushing down Sommey Creek below where Two Branch and Hardbargain Creeks meet to form the falls, appreciate the lodges, old log cabins, camp facilities and more. Come out and see us! We'll be cooking hot dogs, bring a drink and dessert.

We're pleased to announce we'll have Dana Whitehair, from Foothills Connect with us, he's going to tell us what's going on with the broadband expansion initiative - can we expect service soon? Come to the camp Monday night and find out.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!  Camp McCall is having a Family Movie Night on Friday, August 17th. It starts around 8:30 in the Pavilion and the cost to get in is $3.00. There will be refreshments (popcorn and drinks) for sale. Hope to see you there!

Hello From Fairview Mountain Ministries,
We are having a great summer here on the Mountain. It has been hot and busy but very exciting to watch God at work here. We are happy to share that several youth have accepted Christ while here and we know that many seeds have been planted.

We have had 215 youth here since school let out and have one more group to go before school starts back. Even after school takes back up, we continue to have our weekends filled into November.

If you have ever visited us, you know how great it is to set on the front porch and enjoy the breeze and spectacular view. After 10 years of use, our rocking chairs were in need of replacement and thanks to a wonderful group of people we now have 12 new ones!

If you would like to know more about us or what is going on, visit our web site at www.fairviewmountainministries.org. We also put out an email news letter each month. If you would like to receive it, just email me at rgurley.fmm@gmail.com and ask to be added to the list.

Have a great and Blessed Day!
Ron

Hiking in the South Mountains

I don't know how old this informaiton is - it notes the park reopened January 3, and mentions there is some hurricane damage, but there are some really nice links here, some pictures, and other places to hope to from here. http://hikingthecarolinas.com/south.php

Many of you have seen me reference Benn's Knob as a point of interest and I can't help but think you'll enjoy seeing it mentioned here, too.
