05 August 2010.. there is a thread at the henhouse (http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/HenHouseSnitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1509) that I would like for y'all to take a moment to read... and let me know with either email or post in the thread, if you want to go? Thank You!
*16 July 2010... I posted some pictures of Toccoa Falls and the Travelers Rest Historical site at the henhouse. these are two places that maybe we would like to go and see off camp site!
*10 July 2010... Just want to make this clearer... the date for camp is set for OCTOBER 7-9 2011.. year two thousand eleven, and maybe also on the tenth if the majority wants 4 day week-end.. that Monday is Columbus Day. The henhouse is up and running.. if you are part of the sisterhood and wish to join the henhouse, please email me with your request. For the non-sisterhood girl... you are welcomed to visit and read all at the henhouse "MJ Farmgirls' Southern Connection", just not able to post.. but I want you to be counted and will add your comments or sign you up in things that you want to do!  Thanks!!!
* 02 July 2010... Hey Girls!
I took the suggestion of creating a HenHouse for this topic.. I am working on all the topics in there to make thing easier to follow from this thread.
For those Gals that are not in the Sisterhood, you are free to read everything in there.. just can't post... but if you have any thing that you would like to add to those threads... just post them here and I'll add your posts, thoughts, etc to them. This get together is for any Girls would like to do "Girl Scout" style camping (more info inside the henhouse) and meet other MJ Farmgirls!. The name of the HenHouse is "MJ Farmgirls' Southern Connection" .. Sisters wishing to join, email me and I'll notify Brian.
To find the Henhouse...Forum: Farmgirl Chapters, Thread: Farmgirl Chapter Henhouses, scroll to locate "MJ Farmgirls' Southern Connection"
Give me till the end of the day to get all the discussions up, thanks!
....by the way... we will be going to Camp Toccoa! It will suit us perfectly. I will add pictures at the henhouse.. I went on Monday and toured it... beautiful!
***the link to the Henhouse is: http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/HenHouseSnitz/default.asp?CAT_ID=94
* 20 June 2010... Hi Girls!
There has been a sorta of a beginning discussion for the GA girls to get together.
Well, I have been kicking around some ideas on how to make that happen.
The ideas.. just ideas forming,
1) a friend has a farm.. asked if we could rent his place for a week-end... he'll get back to me on this. What I know so far is that he has a barn and fields.
2) There is a Baptist Conference Center that has cabins and such for rent
( http://gabaptist.org/contentpages.aspx?parentnavigationid=7042&theparentnavigationid=4721ntpageguid=947e49a5-a6cb-4e1d-8057-3568255fea29 ) *the cabins and camp, toward bottom of page)
3) Camp Toccoa, which is Campfire Girls camp that has cabins, lodge, dinning hall, camp activities that we could rent for a week-end.
( http://www.camptoccoa.org/user-groups.html )
Now... this thread is just a spring board for open discussion. I was thinking due to the location , it would be sorta convient for S.C, N.C, Tenn girls also to join in with the GA.
Also starting this discussion early will able us that want to do this idea to start saving up for it. I was thinking maybe to do this next year 2011.... also an idea of how many serious girl want to go. An idea of the head count for rentals. This can be available for any girls who would like to do this... not just Southern girls. I was merely calling it Southern due to the area. Also if this kicks off... What do you think of calling this group The MJF Southern Connection... if MJF does not mind.
Ok.. let's start... and please really think about this and not be fool-hearty (is that the right expression?) of your decision... because I can't do this alone and drop outs would really make it tough. For now... toss this idea around and lets discuss!
Right now.. I am thinking that the Camp Toccoa might be the fun way to go... anyways, many things to consider... what can you live without... or for that matter cannot live without.... like showers? toilets? maybe rent a port-a-potty if needed.... food? menu? anyone good with organizing things like that? I will be glad to locate places. We could work on various badges? Like Girl Scout camp style?
suggestion: start saving a bit of money now... say $10.00 a month or so... then it would'nt be hard to come up with the funds.... and if you don't go.. then you'll have that money for something!
.....sooooo... what ya think?

It is huge! And I want to live at the falss. It looks so cool and beautiful. Love it. You take really good pictures too.

..Brian says that you girls above have been added to the henhouse!
Whooo hoooo!
CJ.. would you and birdie71 like to be added to the henhouse also?
(edited: DUH on me CJ.. I now see that your answer to my question is yes.. I am blaming my head.. hey I have an excuse for something.. might as well use it, heh?) LOL
The camp is for the year two thousand eleven.
The main reason for that (I know it is long ways off) was to give us'all ample time to save up our funds for it. I would not be even close to be able to make it for this year.

Karrieann, Thanks for having Brian add me to the list! I was thinking the campout was this year, as in a couple of months. Is it going to be in 2011 or 2010? I'm ready to go . Maybe we could do both??? This year being a trial run to iron out the wrinkles?
Just a thought.
Hugs, Ruth

Karrieann,
My daughter (forum name: birdie71) and I are actually thinking about trying to plan to join all you "southern belles" for this. I would come from Colorado and Robin from Arizona. When "Ga Girl" first let us know about it we thought it was for this year, 2010 . . and that would be impossible. Next year? Now that's a whole different story.
Would you recommend us being a part of the henhouse to get ALL the updated information, etc.?
THANKS!
CJ

Karrieann, I love all your posts on the Henhouse page, but it won't let me register. I am an official Farmgirl, don't know what to do  . Anyway I wanted to thank you for all your work on this and all the wonderful ideas you have had. I would like to work on some badges myself, would be a good time to do so!
Thanks again!
Hugs, Ruth
