We registered for our first SOWER Reunion / Rally in Groveland, FL. We had no idea what a SOWER Reunion was like and looked forward to learning and meeting new friends! This Camp was very welcoming to SOWERS – they even named their RV area the “SOWERS RV PARK”! The Spring Reunions in Florida are often held here – they have a great facility to house a lot of SOWERS! We had a beautiful spot!
First for us to meet the neighboprs – their truck got stuck in the soft sand so we used our 4-wheel-drive to pull them out. Made new friends with Jim & Valerie Hornaday within hours 🙂
We walked the camp and became familiar with the layout of the camp. Also learned the structure of the reunion. We learned that several of our frineds from previous SOWER project will be here – how fun!!
The entire group met together in the Chapel for our meetings, devotions, and programs. we were able to reconnect with other couples and meet new SOWERS that were scheduled to work with us in Colorado!
We had a great variety of special speakers( ), musicians (The Puffers), and group meetings led by President Gary Conrad and his wife Stephanie. We even had a talent show where various SOWERS performed – we joined in and sang with an impromptu “quartet” – so much fun!
The Whole Group from all over the United States. If we are in Florida again during February , we will surely do this again!! We will try to look for other SOWER gatherings as we travel throughout the country!
