August Crumbs

At the end of August we left Minnesota and drove to Dayton, IA for a MMAP R&R, which is a social event held every year where MMAPers play, praise and learn. The three day event began on Sunday evening with a bonfire/picnic followed by an entertaining welcome from Larry and Mary Ann Bernauer using lots of original material. Larry also provided some of the pictures for this report.

Duane and Betty Hanna did a great job of hosting the R&R assisted by Larry & Mary Ann Bernauer. Betty seemed to have an unending supply of Teddy Bears and I don’t think anyone left without one. The lamps to the right of the bears were created by Ray and Marlene Jordan to be given away at the R&R.

Devotions each day varied, some were serious and some were not, but all made a point. Dave and Roberta Rousseau led the singing and Jim Cutter was a very able teacher on two mornings. Larry and Neva Lund were funny, but we still learned.

The Talent Show on Tuesday evening was a lot of fun, especially seeing Jack Strickland as Goldilocks, But what really brought down the house was Ashley Taylor as baby bear. Be sure and click the picture to see that.

The R & R also had it’s serious moments. On Monday we had an up-date from the MMAP Office presented by Kerry Cameron. Later Judy and Kerry led informative Co-ordinator Workshops for both the men and the women.

Other events at the R & R included a Garage Sale, Swap Shop, Scrapbook Contest, and several Workshops. Dave Rousseau (left) organized the Garage Sale

And, of course, we had to try to get a group picture. You can click this picture to enlarge it and then if you’re interested in enlarging it further, and have some sort of high speed connection, that will be possible. It may take a while on dial-up.

The R&R closed with more songs created and sung by the Bernauers, followed by a Memorial Service led by Gloria (left) & Ashley Taylor.
