Camping, that is just what members of the Maryland State Council, Knights of Columbus, did on the weekend of May 17-19, 2019. With our illustrious and brave Membership Director Ronald “Ron” Hassan and his lovely wife, Lady Yolanda, leading the way, family members took on the rugged, yet beautiful and exciting KOA camp grounds of Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia. Former Master Tom Gruel and Lady Heather who also helped organized the camp-ing trip and also arranged for the “BEAST” to arrive on Saturday along with several council members who prepared some absolutely awesome BBQ ribs, BBQ Chicken and hot dogs. The memories of our childhood as campers were rekindled as we came together to enjoy the comradery with our families/friends and the splendor of nature. The crisp sparkle of the campfire brought about story telling and song. The weather was our best friend, just beautiful. What a weekend! What a Camping Trip! Too short! We must do it again, and we will. Planning for next year is already in the works.

State family camp out. If you were not there, you missed out. Planning for next year; get it on the calendar early!
