As you may remember we spent two weeks at Q and enjoyed every minute. We met up with a group from Escapees RV Club and made some new lifelong friends. In the Escapees (SKP for short) there are some informal groupings and one of those are the "classes". A class is normally made of those full-timers that started full timing in the particular year. It is all unofficial, but nonetheless real. Some classes are more active then others, there is no set pattern or common rules. The Class of 2007 was having their 5 year reunion/celebration at Q this past month. All SKP events are open to all SKP's and since our class (Class of 2010) is not very active and BJ & I knew some of the 2007 class members and they all were encouraging anybody to come help them celebrate we decided to join them!

The mother hen that was organizing this event was crowned Queen and given appropriate recognition for her great efforts. Sort of like herding cats, I think. But, she did a great job of keeping all informed and working out a schedule for those interested. Everyday we gathered around the campfire at 1600 hours for Happy Hour. Everything else went from there! We had a pot luck dinner, we had a chilli cook-off, we had a football game party, we had an old fashion party all night party, we had a quite night to recover from the party all night party. And, we all had a great time. And, we raised over $1500 for the Escapee Cares program in Livingston, TX, SKP Hq. It is a unique non-profit program that allows RVer's that don't have the physical ability to travel in their RV any longer to live in their RV at the SKP park at Livingston and receive some help and support. Transportation for shopping and doctor visits, some meals brought in and help keeping track of things. It is not an assisted living facility but it helps folks that can take care of themselves, but need help on some of the details. We raised the money with chilli cook-off, with some side bets on the football games, with a silent auction, and with some good old fashion collection. Including this effort the Class of 2007 has donated over $4,000 to the program.
And, on one night they had the adoption ceremony when all of us that were not natural members of the Class of 2007 were naturalized, e.g. adopted by the Class! So I guess you could say we are dual citizens - Class of 2007 and 2010!
Always at home, no matter where we are!!
