Don't Be Cruel

Coming May 29, to a Ranch near you.

"It's Now or Never"

Wait, it's 2014?

Wow, time flies and a blog doesn't get updated. Invitations are out for the 2014 Camp Meeting and Whoop-De-Do. This year's theme ... TCB in a flash in Madison!

During the last few years of his life, Elvis adopted "Takin' Care of Business" as a motto. “TCB” can be seen on one of his airplanes and is still used in Elvis merchandise. His entertainment room at Graceland also shows his dedication to that motto. His last backup group was called the TCB Band.

"Takin' Care of Business" is a song written by Randy Bachman and first recorded by Canadian rock group Bachman–Turner Overdrive (BTO) for their 1973 album Bachman–Turner Overdrive II. Elvis had been a major influence on Bachman, who in 2010 said he had been aware of rumors about the origins of the TCB name but had not had them confirmed until watching a documentary about Elvis in which his widow confirmed the BTO connection.

A Note from the Marketing Department

The Marketing Department apologizes for the lack of posts for the 2012 Camp Meeting. It has been a busy spring for the Believers, but those of you who are regulars know to mark your calendars each year for the Sunday before Memorial Day. Official invitations will be emailed out today, but here are a few of the details.

• We'll kick things off around 4 p.m.
• PLEASE be sure to RSVP and let us know what you're bringing to the spread.
• We say this every year, but we expect another record crowd this year, so feel free to bring a few extra lawn chairs.

Now members of the Marketing Department must to go back to their day jobs, the ones that pay in something other than food.

More soon.

Thank you

Every year as the Believers prepare for the Camp Meeting, we watch the Boy Scouts as they put a flag at each tombstone in the National Cemetery. While tomorrow we'll all come together to enjoy the company of friends and family, those who have given their lives and those have served are the reasons we are able to do this. Thank you!

What else can I bring?

We're expecting a record crowd this year, so in addition to that side dish or dessert, please put a few lawn chairs in your car before heading to the Circle R.

Not allowed, either!

We've added cicadas to the "not allowed" list, but we unfortunately we think they'll show up anyway. Check out these items to help you get through the Cicada Invasion!
