Alkali Lake awaits

Patrick Haggerson and daughter, Helen, arrived here in Alkali Lake on Saturday night. Since then Patrick has been doing his usual work in the community and has been joined by Helen during the evenings to prepare the campsite, help Arthur D. put up a teepee and prepare for the arrival of the Betty Ford Center staff, Alumni and friends.

Yesterday (09-07-08) Mike N., Deb M (Patrick's wife), David B. and Greg D arrived from Palm Springs on the plane. Jean M. and Sterling Z. arrived from Los Angeles. Arthur D. and wife, Jeannie had a wonderful sweat lodge ready for us in the evening.

Today, we will tour the community, go in the sweat and take it easy. Russ P. flyes in From Vancouver this afternoon and Lyle P. (guest speaker from Atlanta, GA) arrives this evening. Kate S. (guest speaker) and her husband, Michael, will be arriving from San Diego. We'll have a meeting and sweat lodge and will keep our family from SFM/Rosebud in our prayers.

All is well, we're learning on a daily basis how to live, laugh and love!!!!!
