Change in October 2016 date and location
Friends of the SWAT Team,
We have had to make a change in the October SWAT Team event date and location. We will be going to New Life Camp, located in Raleigh, for the weekend of Oct 28-29. As we get closer to that date I’ll send out the details for that event. This event will not include Sunday, as we usually do. When we complete our projects that Saturday evening we’ll be heading home.
Hope you and your family can join us.
The events coming up in later this month and in November remain unchanged.
Thanks,

Next SWAT Team Event: Hickory Cove Bible Camp
Friends of the SWAT Team,
We are about three weeks away from our next SWAT Event, November 20-22. We’re returning to the beautiful Hickory Cove Bible Camp, near Hickory, NC, a favorite of the SWAT Team. This will be another very “family friendly” event, with lots of opportunity to “serve”, no matter what your age or abilities. We’ll find something productive to do for everyone.
We hope you can join us. You’ll be glad you did. See the bulletin for more details and exact location.
Let me know if you will be joining us and your arrival day/time. That will let the camp know how to prepare for our meals.
In His Service,
Steve Blakeman

It’s time to gear up for the three Fall SWAT events
Friends of the SWAT Team,
It’s time to gear up for the three Fall SWAT events:
New Life Camp; 9927 Falls of Neuse Rd, Raleigh, NC 27614
When: September 11th and 12th
They have 2 major projects for us:
- Install new doors at the entrance of the dining hall
- Paint and install many sheets of plywood on the gymnasium walls that have been damaged by basketballs.
- For those who are not involved in the above 2 projects, we’ll find other meaningful work. As you know, camps always have many things that need to be fixed, built, or beautified.
Let me know if you will be joining us for both Friday and Saturday or for only one of the two days.

Note from Steve – November event date and location change
Nov. SWAT Event Date/Location Change
From: Steve Blakeman
Friends of the SWAT Team,
There’s been a change in our November Event, that was originally set for the weekend of November 7-8 at Camp Oak Hill. That has had to be changed completely due to the Camp recently booking a very large Retreat group event for that weekend.
So, the new date and location is November 21-23, at Victory Mtn Camp, where we’ll be working on the construction project of the new Deep Woods Lodge. I’ll send out more information as we get closer to the event.
Thanks,
Steve Blakeman
