Boiberik Reunion 2015!

Please join us for a wonderful spring weekend (May 15-17) on the Boiberik campgrounds: a chance to reconnect and sing and play and tell stories and be in that special place that is still ours.

We will have Friday night services and singing (in whites!), featuring our own wonderful incomparable Josh Waletzky. Saturday during the day is TBA, we are open to suggestions! Saturday night we will plan a fun evening activity in the guest side auditorium (also, open for suggestions, although we have some good ideas already....!). The whole weekend we can luxuriate in our camp surroundings, and enjoy healthy and delicious food, with lots of smiles and songs.

Organized by Julie Lewin (Barudin Cole) and Phyllis Eisenson (Anderson), both EE75.
Please RSVP to Julie (lewinbarudin at aol.com)
For Omega housing and registration, call 877-944-2002
