November 2007

 

Washington Mennonite Fellowship Congregations and friends of CAMREC,

 

With sadness, the WMF Board accepted the resignation of Roger and Carmen Reimer as our Camp Managers at the October 27, 2007 Board meeting.  Roger and Carmen will remain at CAMREC until the end of June 2008 in order for WMF to plan for the transition and for their family to move through important life stages as they finish their time here.

 

Roger and Carmen raised their two daughters, Chelsea and Roxanne, at CAMREC.  The whole family has given us many years of their time, skills and talent.  We will certainly miss them, but we know they are ready to move on to new phases in their lives.  Roger and Carmen will be shifting gears to new employment and a new place of their own in Kansas.  Chelsea is continuing college and planning her wedding this spring.  Roxanne will be completing high school and making her plans for college in the fall. 

 

We are asking members of our WMF congregations to assist us as we transition with a new manager(s). 

 

Our requests:

1)       Be in prayer for the search and hiring process that has begun.  Pray for God’s leading for those interested in the position.

2)       Consider stepping up as we reestablish strong committees to assist with the maintenance of the property and the planning of our summer camps in July.

3)       Continue your financial support of CAMREC.  Your support allows us to continue to provide a quality camping experience for our WMF churches and beyond. 

4)       Remember the Reimers and keep them in your prayers as they begin to loosen the ties that have held them firmly to CAMREC for the past 15 years.

 

Please share the job opening with interested persons.  If you have questions, please feel free to contact me at (360)848-5194.
