SUMMARY:Fri. 09/30/16 – Sun. 10/02/16: CAMP:  Fishing (away)
DESCRIPTION:Typical camp schedule and cost. \nThis venue is a little farther than usual\, about 1:30 from Irving\, but it has great features for a successful fishing and learning experience.  Read the venue details for inaccuracy on Google Earth and maybe other maps. \nNearly 1000 acres\, with 3 fishing options: \n\nA pond stocked with hungry large bass (I was told 3-1/2 to 4 lbs)\n 2 other ponds with plenty of pan fish\n\nPlease click on the following 2 links for pictures with details on how to get there.  There is no cell phone coverage at the campsite!  If you get there without knowing where to go\, you will be on your own!  I strongly suggest printing those maps and taking them with you: \nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/kutdq8mb6p7cc4u/Hidden%20Meadows%20%20-%20Arrival.doc?dl=0 \n  \nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/22tm7jzt0ntkbec/Hidden%20Meadows%20-%20Details.doc?dl=0 \n  \n  \n  \nPLEASE come prepared!  Steven Osteen will offer a short recap on techniques\, but the whole point is to have dads teach and prepare their son(s).  Be ready for early fishing Saturday.  Everyone brings his own equipment\, fishing supplies and bait. \n1st Lt. Koch will bring laminated field guides to fishing for those who do not have one.  If you have already received one\, please bring it.  Here is a link to an large version of it to help you prepare: \nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/oot672879cb7rch/TSG%20Field%20to%20Texas%20Fishing.docx?dl=0 \nFISHING LICENSE MANDATORY FOR ANYONE 17 YRS OLD AND OVER\, even on private land. \nClick on the following links for film and pics of the place: \nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/i915doaryt0qx0z/IMG_3092.MOV?dl=0 \nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/tvzfg4yxq3plrc0/IMG_3095.JPG?dl=0 \nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/5fn75qy9b77uu4w/IMG_3097.JPG?dl=0 \nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/taupfnm7eeu3re8/IMG_3099.JPG?dl=0 \n  \n———— Yeah\, that’s how you recon potential camping spots\, when you are TSG1! 😉

SUMMARY:10/09/16 Volunteering at the Mater Dei 25th Anniversary Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Since we cannot make any event “mandatory”\, we will call this one a “TSG1 Day of obligation“!  For this reason\, there is no need to register.  I trust you will be there unless you have a serious reason not to be.  If this is the case\, please let me know so I can let MD know how many of us to expect.  Thank you. \nThis is our opportunity to serve our parish and show gratitude to our priests for taking the time out of their very busy schedules to come offer Mass and confessions at every camp\, no matter how far. \nI understand that many of you are not Mater Dei parishioners\, but as TSG1 members\, Mater Dei is your official troop parish and Father Longua your troop chaplain. \nClass A uniforms.  We will volunteer for general needs.  Very much like what we did at the Thien Tam Monastery.  This will be a great way to serve and will also give us great visibility. \nEveryone able to come must come represent the troop and show gratitude.  MAKE FATHER LONGUA PROUD! \nSee the event flyer here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yapys2lompopj1z/2016%20Mater%20Dei%20Picnic%20Flyer.pdf?dl=0 \nBe there as early as you can and plan on staying to help with the clean-up.

SUMMARY:Fri. 10/28/16 to SATURDAY (ONLY) 10/29/16: CAMP:  Shooting & Archery with TSG31
DESCRIPTION:Atypical schedule and location due to Halloween week-end.  The event was changed after the officers voted on it.  Longer drive (slightly over 2 hrs from the center of Irving) but deemed worth it.  Consider taking that Friday afternoon off if able. \n\nOfficial start at 1600\, but feel free to arrive early\, the host will be there\nTSG31 does their ceremonies Fri evenings\, and we will join them for ours\, where we will awards some shields and stars\, so arrive in Class A\nWe will have dinner Fri\n\nLike it often is for addresses in the country\, different maps show different spots.  Click on the link below for exact description: \n\nday.  TSG31 will handle that.  TSG1 will handle breakfast and lunch Sat. Dinner at 1830.  If you do not plan on arriving before 1900\, please bring your own.\nTSG31 does skits during the Fri cracker barrel.  If you have a QUALITY skit\, bring it to me or 1st Lt. Koch for approval.  Nothing last minute improv. or sillyness\, please.\nThere will be Mass Sat. morning at camp (will not satisfy Sun. obligation) – wake up and jump into your Class A\nFor those who want to stay later than 1400 on Sat.\, we will be shooting clay pigeons with shotguns\, and there are ponds that we can fish.  Remember it ceases to be a TSG-sponsored event after 1400\n\n\nSHOOTING:\n\n\nBring any firearm you wish\, including bows and arrows (if we have time to shoot those) but no BB guns.  Children could feel too free with those\, and this way\, any weapon we see in anyone’s hand will be considered lethal.  It helps keep areas sterile.\nThere will be a station for handguns\, and another for rifles\, including AR15 and similar (for seniors only!)\nBe on the lookout for a safety briefing from TSG31\, but the most obvious warning is that all and any weapon should remain locked in your vehicle until it is time to shoot them\, unless you carry (with the utmost caution) on your person.\nIf you bring a weapon (highly suggested)\, please bring enough ammo for each cadet to get at least 2 or 3 shots in (another reason why we kept the cost at $5).  We can likely expect 50 cadets.\nFor semi or fully auto rifles (seniors)\, cadets will be given a chance to shoot them 2 or 3 times\, depending on how much ammo you are willing to donate.  If they want to have a little more fun\, they will be able to purchase YOUR ammo for $8 for a clip of 20.  Bring plenty of extra if you have.\nWe will have SOME extra\, but try to bring your own ear and eye protection\, and spotting scope if you have one.\nSince it will only go from Fri. through Sat. afternoon\, the cost will be $5 per camper.  Some TSG31 member elect to camp through Sunday.  This is an option\, but it will cease being a TSG1-sponsored event at 2 pm Saturday.  Please let me know if you plan on doing that\, so I can give Capt. O’Flaherty and our host a heads-up.  There is a Catholic church which offers an 1100 Mass on Sundays\, located 18′ away:\nSt Theresa’s Catholic Church\, 209 West Oak Street\, Olney\, TX 76374\n\n\n \nRegister as soon as you can so we can give our hosts plenty of heads-up on our numbers.  Remember to tell me if you plan on staying Sat. night as well.\nDIRECTIONS(!): \nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/ts2cbqbdcvdgiir/Actual%20spot%20vs.%20address.docx?dl=0 \n  \n  \nTo see picks of the property\, click on the links below:\nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/wcvr1jffvsvjkg2/1835%20True%20RD%20image.jpg?dl=0\nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/58aiy074pajtqi2/IMG_2671%20%281%29.jpg?dl=0\nhttps://www.dropbox.com/s/f6crwe677f8xjyr/roadpond5.14.jpg?dl=0 \n

SUMMARY:Fri. 04/21/17 to Sun. 04/23/17: Extended Camp - Trapping - TSG1 HQ
DESCRIPTION:During this camp\, 1st Lt. Koch will teach us about trapping small to medium-sized animals.  The cadets will set 3 different types of traps Saturday.  If we do trap something that is worth keeping either for fur or consumption\, we will prep it Sunday morning. \nBe prepared\, if you wish\, to stay until after lunch on Sunday.  No set menu.  If we have animals to cook on the fire\, we will snack on that\, otherwise we will break camp before lunch. \nThis should be very interesting and possibly quite thrilling! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Fri. 05/19/17 to Sun. 05/21/17: Camp - Restoration Homestead\, Kerens\, TX - Part Deux!
DESCRIPTION:We will send more details but here is an overview of the activities:\n\nSat. morning breakfast with eggs the cadets will collect straight from the hen house\, biscuits backed in pizza oven\nDispatch a small pig (privately)\nPrepare the pig and spit for roasting\, start roasting (whole day process)\nService projects: repair hole in driveway\, gather firewood throughout the property\nActivities: discover and use the 1800’s print\, tour of the wood workshop\nFishing if time to spare\n\n\n\nRemember to bring:\nFishing gear (marked)\nShovels (marked)\nWork gloves (marked)\nSkits if you have for the camp fire (you don’t have to mark those!)Star gazing (beautiful place for it) – IF ANYONE HAS A TELESCOPE\, PLEASE BRING IT\n\nFor our hosts:\nBill Mureiko and his family are being incredibly kind to us\, and are basically giving us their whole day.  I offered some kind of compensation besides the service project\, without success. They produce their own meat (sausage\, bacon\, etc…\, processed in town).  They sent me home with some when I went to visit the place.  It is delicious!  After I gently insisted on doing something for them\, Bill suggested that if people were so inclined\, they could stop by their property store on the way out.  I think it is a fantastic idea\, and a useful way to thank them and “bring home the bacon!”  Please keep that in mind.  Thank you.\n\n  \n  \nBIG CHANGE FROM THE USUAL: NO MASS OR CONFESSIONS SATURDAY; MASS SUNDAY AT 1100 AT THE THIEN TAM MONASTERY (5 MIN AWAY). \n  \n  \nPRECISE DIRECTIONS: \nWhen you run out of concrete\, make a left at the fork: \n \n  \nThis is the place\, but do not enter here.  Enter at the next dirt road on the right hand-side (next pic). \n \n  \nTurn right: \n \n  \nAt the end of the dirt road\, make a right through the gate (see next picture) and look for the TSG1 sign for camping area\, across from the house in this picture. Drop your stuff off then return to this area and park your vehicle back to the left side of the house.  If the grounds are wet\, we will stay on the dirt road. \n \n  \nThis is the path to the camping area.  Look for the sign.  The trailer will NOT be there (it will be farther down by the campfire area). \n \n

SUMMARY:Sat. 07/29/17 to Sun. 07/30/17: Overnight Canoeing Trip
DESCRIPTION:  \nA few of important points first: \n\nThe trailer will not be there.  This is a “minimalist” camp where each family is responsible for all of their supplies and sustenance.  Please read carefully the event schedule\, especially the “gear” section below.\n leadership TBD.\nIt is an option to camp at Rochelle’s  Friday evening\, but you would be on your own.  They have a very nice campground with swing rope onto the river\, fishing spots\, etc….  $10 per car.  Again\, not sponsored\, but I will be glad to let everyone know who will be spending the night so you can meet up.  Contact Rochelle’s directly for reservations: http://www.rochellescanoeandkayakrental.com/\nWeather and water levels look good\, but stay on top of communications as things could change.  The dam is releasing water daily and I was told the river was fine\, with a lot of people canoeing.  The levels will be checked one last time the day before.\nThere will be no Mass.  It can be considered travel\, and the obligation is not rigid in those cases.\n\n  \nHere is a description of things to expect: \nJourney – From Rochelle’s downstream to pick up point is 10 mile. Probably about 7-8 hours total canoe time. Approximately halfway (maybe a little more) should be some sand bars sufficient for camping. Departure is 8:30 am Saturday morning.  We don’t want to sweat it last last time\, so this will basically be the same trek\, but over 2 days\, with plenty of free time to enjoy the water\, swim\, fish\, rest alongside a bank\, etc… \nYou will be provided with a sat phone and a Epi-Pen.  Bring your own first-aid kit. \n  \n\nPotential Schedule:\n\nSaturday\n\nmeet at 0830 at the Rochelle’s let-in location\, just down from their office\n0900 let in\n12 pm – gather on water in canoes for Angelus if not at campsite/continue to campsite\n12:30-1 pm lunch and set up camp\n1-5 fish for dinner\, swim\, enjoy\n3pm Divine Mercy Chaplet\n6-8pm Dinner on own\n8-9pm s’mores if you brought them and successfully make a fire\n9pm rosary\n10pm lights out\n\n\nSunday\n\n7am rise\n7:15 am Morning Prayers\n7:30-8:30 Breakfast on own\, pack up camps\n8:30-10:30am explore\, fish\, enjoy\n10:30am Canoe departure\n12:00 stop for angelus and lunch\n1pm continue to pick up point/back to Rochelle’s\nPick-up between 1499 and 1600.  You can call for an earlier pick-up\, but you would be responsible for the extra $20 pick-up fee.\n\n\n\n\n\nRecommended supplies: \n\nWater/Food\n\nWater 1 gallon/person/day or combination bring/purify. No special equipment for purification except empty gallon jug (you already drank one)\, a pot and a flame to boil. Bringing powdered Gatorade is great if hot out and for flavoring purified water.\nFood:\n\nhope to catch dinner for Saturday night\npackaged dishes that require hot water like ramen\, Knorr pastas or rice\, oatmeal\, foil packaged meats\, MRE’s or prepakaged meals from Cabelas\, BassPro\, REI or walmart. Nutritional bars/nuts for snacks\, oil\, seasonings\n\n\n\n\nGear:\n\nWaterproof bag for your gear – Awesome Large Dry Bag on Amazon at great price\nSUNSCREEN\, bug repellent\nShelter (luxury: 2-3 man tent  or primitive: tarp) large could be problematic – camping on sand bars\nGround cloth/tarp\nultra-light sleeping bag or blanket (will be hot)\nCordage 25-50ft\nmess kit (eating and cooking)\nFire starting materials (lighter\,matches)\nCamp Stove (small\, propane) I have a couple\nFlashlight (backup batteries)\nToiletries (w/biodegradable soaps) every store with gear has camp soap\nKnife and rosary – DUH!\nHat\nSaw (several will have these)\ntrash bags\nextra clothes – GONNA GET WET!\nIf you bring cooler be sure it locks and tied-in case canoe capsizes\nFishing gear / pole or primitive\nThe troop will bring and Epi-Pen and a basic 1st aid kit\nTHINK BAGS TO KEEP STUFF DRY\, ZIPLOCK BAGS\, A WAY TO ATTACH EVERYTHING TO YOUR CANOE\, AND DRINKING WATER! Given the amount of stuff you will have to take with you\, 2 per canoe should probably be the max.  We will spread people out to make it work.\n\n\n\nCheck out Rochelle’s checklist: http://www.rochellescanoeandkayakrental.com/checklist \nFees: \n\nCanoe Rental Overnight = $50.00/canoe + $20.00 (covered by troop) – refundable deposit/canoe\nCamping Friday Night = $10/car for those who want to camp either Fri. or Sun.\n\nSatellite Phone rental $80 + calls @ $1.75/min (troop will have one but feel free to rent your own)

SUMMARY:Sun. 08/27/17: Day activity: Pool party/planning meeting
DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly: \n\n  \nSteve and Cindy Porter (from Porter’s Army Navy)\, big fans and strong supporters of TSG\, have generously insisted that the troop uses there residence once again for our planning meeting/pool party.  It is time to plan for next year goals and activities\, and present major changes and a new direction. \nAll troop members are invited and encouraged to come to the Porters’ residence from 1500 to 2000 at:\n1425 Broadmoor Lane\nIrving\, TX \nEven if you cannot stay long\, please come to the planning meeting.  We will do that first\, hopefully close to 1530 for an hour or so\, so we can get as many people involved as possible. \nBring campouts ideas and suggestions!  Don’t assume others will!  Remember the campsite and camp ideal requirements:\n\n\nwithin approximately 1hr of Irving\n1 central activity for the cadets\, long enough to occupy them for at least half a day\nfirewood available\, or built-in time to collect it\nfree venue if possible\n\n\nThis is your troop\, and your input is required.  It would also be a good time to bring up any general suggestions or issues anyone might have. \n  \nThe pool has a slide\, diving board\, and there is a concrete area with basketball hoop.  The dads and officers will be able to meet either on the outside patio or inside.  The troop will provide/handle dinner on the grill.  Since our policy specifically prohibits alcohol on campouts\, and this is designed to be a more relaxed atmosphere where safety is not such an issue\, adults are authorized to bring the beverage of their choice\, while remembering that “…our adult leaders are gentlemen and know the sinfulness of drunkenness…” (Officers’ Manual)  and that we have an example to set. \nThis event is free\, but we will have a donation jar to help cover the cost of food. \nNaturally\, bring bathing suits!

SUMMARY:Sat. 01/20/18: North Texas March for Life with local troops
DESCRIPTION:Free event\n\n\n\nNo registration required\n\nClass A uniforms.  If you do not have one\, try to at least wear a TSG t-shirt.\n\nFamily members are invited and encouraged to march with us.\n\n\nI attached the announcement from Mater Dei\, which says it all better than I would. Please read below.\n\nI will be riding the bus.  We will meet with other local troops at the beginning of the march.  For those of you who will drive there\, consider the option to drop off your group and go park at the courthouse.  That will save your family members the walk back at the end.  Captain O’Flaherty will do just that and offered to help shuttling people if needed.\n\n\nWe will have our banners and for those who will not already be in the cathedral for Mass\, we will gather outside of the cathedral entrance on the bell tower side\, and will hopefully be able to join in with the other troops as the procession exits.\n\nLink to the march: https://www.prolifedallas.org/roe\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMater Dei Parish\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe have a fantastic opportunity to speak up for the unborn.  Please ensure that everyone in you know is aware of this beautiful and timely event.\nWe have reserved 3 buses for transportation from Mater Dei to the March for Life.Buses will leave Mater Dei at 12 noon and return by 4pm\, minors must be accompanied by an adult.\nPlease sign-up to ride the bus. \nThe dead line to Sign-up is Friday\, Jan.12th by noon.\n\n\nhttp://materdeiparish.com/busreservations\nWe will have a picnic lunch in the parish hall starting about 11am.  You must eat before boarding the bus\, snacks and water for small ones are your responsibility. \nThis is a pilgrimage and also a rosary procession to and from downtown. \nBring your rosaries\, wear walking shoes.   We will carry Mater Dei banners. Personally made signs are also welcome.\nIf anyone wishes to attend without joining us on the bus\, you may be able to find us\, because we will have our MATER DEI BANNERS.  Don’t forget that you represent your parish and make known to others the existence of the traditional liturgy in Dallas.  Be prepared to evangelize all those you meet on the value of the Tridentine Rite.  We don’t often speak in Latin\, but when we do\, it is EXTRAORDINARY! \nBuses will be cancelled unless we have the sign up this week.  We are past the deadline for complete refund\, but we will get  a partial refund only\, if all three buses are not used. As we gear up for the largest pro-life event in the state\, the 15th Annual N TX March for Life\, we are excited to announce a change in route that will bring exposure to the active\, diverse North Texas pro-life organizations.\nYour public witness is CRITICAL!\nMost importantly\, the March is happening the same day as the Dallas Women’s March. That’s right! The same march that decidedly excluded Pro-Life Women’s groups in their march on Washington. \nWith abortion advocates marching and bankrolling the Women’s March\, it’s important that we show who really stands for and with #HER. \nThe North Texas March for Life has always been about empowering women to embrace life even in the midst of uncertainty. It is about community\, family\, charity and hope. \nSo make plans to join us for this year’s March\, advertise the event at your church\, among your friends and on your social media. See below for our event flier and parking information. \nYOU WON’T WANT TO MISS OUT!\nHere are some of our guest speakers to inspire you…\nMost Reverend Edward Burns\nBishop of Dallas Diocese\nDeborah McGregor CEO of CareNet Waco\nEmcee Terri Schauf Respect Life Office of Ft. Worth \nRoute: From Guadalupe Cathedral (2215 Ross Ave) to lot outside the Federal Courthouse (1100 Jackson St) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nSent by Secretary – Mater Dei Parish

SUMMARY:02/09/18 to 02/11/18 Camp - Rocketry at camp HQ
DESCRIPTION:  \nTypical cost and camp schedule\, except that it will go to 1130 on Sunday. \n  \nMr. Dave Schaefer will be our subject matter expert guest for this camp.  Dave is a commercial pilot with extensive rocketry\, drone\, and RC experience.  In between other things\, he has appeared in many magazines and on the Discovery channel.  He has worked with NASA on special projects\, won the 2017 National Aeromodeling Championship (on the 1st try!)\, and is a post-graduate project manager at UTD\, using drones for atmospheric measurements\, just to name a few of his accomplishments. \nThis is not the kind of stuff we will get to see\, but for those interested\, to give you an idea of the kind of “from scratch” home-built projects Dave gets into:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HNnIGkQR5M\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6V7OVKT3nw \nUnder his direction\, we will have each boy build his own rocket with his dad Saturday afternoon\, let it set and dry overnight\, and launch it Sunday morning.  We will plan on having the campsite cleaned by 0930 on Sunday\, head to the field from where we will launch (the large wheat field on property)\, and everyone should be on their way home by 1130.  For those who can not stay that long\, you can always take our rocket home.  Dave will tell you what you need and how to do it safely. \nAll the necessary materiel will be provided and rockets should be reusable. \nSince the building of the rockets should only take a couple of hours\, we will use Saturday morning to gather\, split\, and stack wood for the rest of the year. We will have the use of a gas wood splitter\, which the cadets very much enjoyed operating last time we used it. \nDave will likely bring a couple of his “toys” for demo if we have some time to kill.  This should be fun and a cool learning experience for the boys! \nThis activity will require good weather.  If the weather does not cooperate\, we will consider re-scheduling to the following week-end. \n

DESCRIPTION:St. George Feast Day is on the 23rd\, but that will fall on a Monday\, so we will celebrate it early. \nCake will be served by dads and cadets at the social following the 0900 Mass.  That will also be a way to celebrate our official Non-Parish-Based -Organization status with Mater Dei which\, although it might sound contradictory\, makes us an official parish organization.  We recently secured the required insurance to officially operate as a troop within the psychical boundaries of the parish. \nAfter the social\, the troop will transfer its belongings from our old trailer to the recently acquired newer and much improved one. \n

SUMMARY:06/02/18 Work Day at HQ
DESCRIPTION:  \nOur camp HQ needs a little bit of TLC.  It is of course a free event.  We would like to start as early as possible to beat the heat of the day.  We will take breaks to enjoy our Human Foosball.  If you couldn’t make last camp\, come to try it out.  It is a blast! \nLet’s be there at 0830\, please. \nWork day at HQ will consist of the following: \n\nWeedwacking\nTaking down the “widow maker” dead tree looming over our kitchen area\nClearing the entrance into the field\, which vegetation is overtaking\nSpraying multiple areas for poison ivy\nSpraying a couple of area for fire ants\nPossibly clearing a path from the pipeline clearing to the pond (the dam has been cleared of all vegetation by the city).  This would be a service to both the owner and us.\n\nThis might only take a few hours with a bunch of people\, or most of the day if we have few members.  Please consider helping.  This is OUR campsite\, and we all benefit from it\, so all should help maintaining it if able.  The cadets should be made to understand this and encouraged to participate. \nWhat you would need to bring: \n\nWeedwacker\nLoopers\nChainsaw\nPole saw\nYour own lunch(es)\nYour own water\nHats\nSunscreen\nWork gloves\n\nPlease RSVP so I know how many we can count on.  Also\, please let me know what tool(s) you will bring. \nThe landowner is OK with people camping that weekend\, but it will NOT be a TSG1-sponsored event.  Those itching to camp simply have access to the property.  If you intend to do so\, please let me know so I can let the landowner know. \n

SUMMARY:Sat. 06/09/18: Volunteering Day at the Thien Tam Benedictine Monastery Blessed Sacrament Days
DESCRIPTION:Free event.  Class B uniforms.\n\nOur yearly service day at the monastery.  For those who are not familiar with Thien Tam\, they have been very supportive of us and host our yearly Advent Retreat.  They hosted our Family Camp last March.  TSG31 often camps on their premises.  They joined us last year and were planning on helping again this year.\n\nFather Dominique is expecting us.  Their event is HUGE!  It goes from Thursday evening to Sunday night.  We will be helping all day Saturday.  I told him we will arrive at 0930 and stay as long as we are needed.  He encourages us to stay for their night procession (ending at 2200)\, which is a sight to behold.  They again offered to share their meals with us.  If you are a fan of traditional Vietnamese food\, it will be a delight!  He recommended that we came in uniforms so people would know who we are.  They can use us for trash\, parking assistance\, cleaning\, serving meals\, and anything else we can be of help with.  They typically host around 3\,000 people for the event!!! It is quite impressive.\n\nThis would be an incredible experience\, great charitable work\,  and a wonderful way to express our gratitude to the monks for their hospitality.  With such large numbers\, this is definitely an opportunity for us to earn our “apostolate” title.  Who knows\, we could inspire someone to start a Vietnamese TSG troop! We made many great contacts in the previous years.  In between others\, this is how we met Bill Mureiko of the Restoration Homestead and I was invited to sit and visit with their guest of honor\, visiting Bishop Francois-Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan while he was having lunch.  He shared that he was very impressed with us\, encouraged our apostolate and assured us of his prayers.\n\nIt is a long day of hard\, hot\, sticky\, messy work.  But the appreciation and the admiration our organization receives for it are priceless.  I truly believe just seeing the boys serve so hard brings a additional ray of sunshine to the attendees.  The responses are always strong and touching.  We seem to give people hope that not all of the next generation is lost.  Our impact is big there\, and the prayers and resulting graces we receive are without a doubt numerous.\n\nHere is the monastery page: https://www.thientamosb.org/welcome

SUMMARY:Sat. 6/30/18 Day Event:  Canoeing Trip on the Brazos
DESCRIPTION:  \nRSVP DEADLINE IS MONDAY THE 25th AT 1600.\nEach canoe has 2 seats but can accommodate for an additional small child to sit at the bottom in the middle.  We might split people and take turns to make it efficient\, but we definitely need a head count. \nFREE EVENT!  BRING YOUR OWN FOOD/SNACKS/WATER! \nWe decided to give people a break from the summer heat and make this a day event.  It will make for a longer day\, but you will be cool at night. \nMEET AT 0800 SHARP AT ROCHELLE’S.  It is about 2 hrs drive from Irving.  Test your GPS ahead of time.  Not all apps give you the right directions or can even find the spot.  You can find detailed directions on their website below. \nHere is there website: http://www.rochellescanoeandkayakrental.com/ \nOur trek will be the “The One Day Trip (10 miles)”: http://www.rochellescanoeandkayakrental.com/trips/ \nUniforms not required unless you want to down a Class B t-shirt.  There will be no Mass. \nWe will go on a 9.5 miles canoeing trek down the Brazos Saturday.  It is the same trek we made 2 years ago.  The river should make it much easier though.  It has a 200 CFS (cubic ft/sec) flow\, which I was told would be an 8 on a 1 to 10 “awesome” scale!  This should make for about 5 to 5-1/2 hrs of canoeing depending on breaks and pace. \nFeel free to camp as individuals.  Camping will NOT be part of this TSG1 event.  It is only $10/car/night to camp and is 1st come – 1st serve for the spots.  Please contact Rochelle if interested.  Let me know if you plan on doing so\, so I can let others know.  The farthest campsite down the dirt road is right next to a river access point\, great for fishing\, swimming\, and it has a swing rope on a tree over the water.  That was a huge hit last time.  Definitely the best spot.  Each campsite has a small grill. \nBring swimming clothes and fishing gear!  If you plan on fishing or trolling\, remember that a license is required for anyone over 16 years old.  We can expect the following fish:\nLargemouth and smallmouth bass\nTrout (stocked)\nBlue and flathead catfish\nGar (occasionally)\nBuffalo carp\nWhite bass and crappie \nREMEMBER THAT you are responsible for your own food and water.  We will all eat lunch together\, but TSG1 is not bringing any supplies. \nPlease do not delay in registering since we must reserve canoes ahead of time.\nRSVP DEADLINE IS MONDAY THE 25TH AT 1600.\nThank you. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
