The proceeds go to

CARE.

The CARE Center at Rainbow's End Campground in Livingston, Texas has 35 campsites that Escapees live on as they age-in-place or recover from an accident or illness.  The CARE Center has the Adult Day Care Program and a Dementia program that activities for those dealing with memory loss.  

  

After a day of shopping, 

hiking, offroading, etc.,

Boomers gather for

Happy Hour.

Eric and I were invited to a Gin Tasting.

There's a wonderful

variety of Gins to

sample.

These Canadian Gins
were very popular
with the group.






The highlight of Boomerville:  The CARE Auction

Donated items are on display

before the CARE Auction.

Boomers browse & decide

on the itemst they will bid on.

The group gathers

with their Auction

Paddles & the fun

begins...

We get a report that all of the CARE Fundraisers: Pancake Breakfasts, Cinnamon Roll Sales, Barbeque Ribs Sales, and the CARE Auction totals $18,000.00.  CARE relies on donations from Escapees to keep the cost for residents reasonable.  And, CARE also relies on volunteers to keep the CARE Program running.

Some evenings we gather for Pot Luck Dinners.  

Everyone bundles up to spend time at the nightly campfire.

Desert nights are clear, cold and full of stars.
