Meister Camper Thanks His Assistants

I would like to thank the IJA affiliates and individuals who helped make possible the success of the IJA Affiliates' post­festival campout. Specifically, thanks to the Orange Jugglers, the Mt. Clemens Jugglers, No Problem, Easy Pickup (the Portland jugglers), the A.J.A. (Atlanta), and the V.S.D.J.  (Washington, D.C.) for their financial support.

 

Thanks to all the people who lent us camping gear and ice chests for the trip, and to Deena Frooman, Andrew Ford, Eliot Goldstein, Darryl Toomey, Ginny Rose, Barry Korengold for their favors. I especially thank my wife, Michelle, for help and moral support along the way.

 

Also, a huge thank you to Alice Scott Morris, who donated her art­work for the raffle, and to all the people who bought raffle tickets. This turned out to be the largest money-maker for the whole project. Last but not least, thanks to all the people who attended the campout itself! I hope we can have this much fun together again in the future!

 

Steve Gerdes, Orange Jugglers,  Campout Organizer

 

Thanks for the Memories

I want to tell the IJA how much I enjoyed my first festival. What really made it special for me were two people, Nick and Anthony Gatto, who put together a comprehensive program which was fun and easy to follow. Is there some way we could get these pros to sponsor a seminar every year?
