Suzie Q Miller Family Campout
2017-01-27 - 2017-01-29 | Ocala Wildlife Conservation Campground, 7325 Northeast 170th Ave, Silver Springs, FL, 34488, United States
The Timucuan Longhouse would like to invite all tribes and members (and also moms!) to the 2017 SQM Family Campout, which will be held January 27-29, 2017 again at the Ocala Wildlife Conservation campground. The campground, adjacent to Ocala National Forest, is about a 45 minute drive southwest from St. Johns County to south of Palatka near the west bank of St. Johns River. The venue is outstanding having campsites but also some cabins, bunkhouses, and terrific facilities including the Gazebo and Great Hall. The restrooms and showers have been modernized. Last year, at Ocala, we were fortunate to enjoy excellent camping weather during Florida wintertime.
Planned events are expected to include archery and bb-guns at the range and some time on the lake in canoes. There should also be a critter race, spirited tugs-of-war, and zip lining. Once again, the highlight of the campout will be The Fed Feast dinner Saturday evening. Last year, we enjoyed some outrageously good BBQ including ribs, brisket, pork loin, and more. After the Feast, we plan to enjoy an amazing pyrotechnics show. Later, a dance will be held in the Great Hall.

Princesses and Braves, get your big Braves (and Big Tau’s too, this is a family trip for anyone interested). Once again it is time to load the dugouts for a trip way down upon the Suwannee River. We will meet up on Saturday August 6, 2015 at 9:00 am at the Canoe Outpost at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. We will paddle down to the Holton Creek River Camp where we will spend the night, grilling the gifts of the Great Spirit, and enjoying fellowship. In the morning we will paddle to Gibson Park where the folks from Canoe Outpost will pick us up and take us back to our vehicles. We are usually back at the Canoe Outpost and headed back to Jacksonville no later than 2 p.m. Best news: No upstream paddle this year!!!
The facilities at the river camp include, fresh water (a little sulphuric, good for washing not so good for drinking), flushing porcelain, and hot water showers. There are screened and roofed sleeping platforms for the first 40 people who register. After that you need to bring a tent. I will let you know beforehand if you need to bring a tent if you are after the cut-off.
The Federation will provide the charcoal and lighter fluid for the state park style grills. You bring your meat of choice and any sides and drinks, and don’t forget something to flip your meat. Foil wrapped pre-cooked baked potatoes do not take long to reheat in the coals. Breakfast is your choice. I always bring a camp stove and a big pot for boiling water. And I will have percolator coffee, with sugar and cream for the morning coffee drinkers.
Pack light. Everything you bring has to fit in your boat. If you bring it, it will probably get wet.
The river is a little lower than usual and may require more paddling than prior years.
Cost is as follows:
Rent a boat from CO:

$30 each for the first 2 people in a boat.
$15 for the third person in a boat.

Bring your own boat:

$15 per person.

SOSMP is now charging an entry fee of approximately $2 per boat. it is included if you rent boats from the Outpost.
The cost covers boat rental, gratuity for the drivers, charcoal, lighter fluid and morning coffee on Sunday. If you need some type of fancy creamer bring it.
Please download a liability waiver required for each person. Completing it at home and bringing it with you will speed up our departure.

Alex's Lemonade Stand
2016-05-07 14:00 - 18:00 | FL
Native Sons and Daughters is once again teaming up with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation to raise money for pediatric cancer research. Alex’s Lemonade Stand will be held Saturday, May 7 at Publix locations across the city. We will pass out cans of lemonade donated by Publix and hope that those receiving their lemonade will be moved to donate to ALSF. Publix locations will be chosen by your tribe’s chief based on coup points. The Native Sons and Daughters program needs its members to lend a hand on Saturday May 7 to make this event successful. Let’s work together to make this year’s event the best ever! Tribes will be notified this month regarding which Publix store will host their lemonade stand. Your tribe will be in charge of running the event at that store, including picking up necessary event materials, cleaning up after the lemonade stand, and returning all monies collected to event leader immediately following the end of the fundraiser.
Alexandra “Alex” Scott was born to Liz and Jay Scott in Manchester, Connecticut on January 18, 1996, the second of four children. Shortly before her first birthday, Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer.
On her first birthday, the doctors informed Alex’s parents that if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. Just two weeks later, Alex slightly moved her leg at her parents’ request to kick. This was the first indication of who she would turn out to be – a determined, courageous, confident and inspiring child with big dreams and big accomplishments.
By her second birthday, Alex was crawling and able to stand up with leg braces. She worked hard to gain strength and to learn how to walk. She appeared to be beating the odds, until the shattering discovery within the next year that her tumors had started growing again. In the year 2000, the day after her fourth birthday, Alex received a stem cell transplant and informed her mother, “when I get out of the hospital I want to have a lemonade stand.” She said she wanted to give the money to doctors to allow them to “help other kids, like they helped me.” True to her word, she held her first lemonade stand later that year with the help of her older brother and raised an amazing $2,000 for “her hospital.”
While bravely battling her own cancer, Alex and her family continued to hold yearly lemonade stands in her front yard to benefit childhood cancer research. News spread of the remarkable sick child dedicated to helping other sick children. People from all over the world, moved by her story, held their own lemonade stands and donated the proceeds to Alex and her cause.
In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex’s family – including brothers Patrick, Eddie, and Joey – and supporters around the world are committed to continuing her inspiring legacy through Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.
