Next, when many of D’Lynne’s friends and family mentioned a memorial at Hidden Falls, I asked Byron Williamson, the Executive Director, what projects he had on the drawing board to which we could give. He mentioned the need for an outdoor fellowship and devotional area, which also would be out of the sun and rain. We’re calling this a picnic area, but the place will be so much more than that. It will feature a central gazebo large enough to seat or serve 100 campers, plus outlying covered tables, all with inspirational views of the canyon. 

In addition, the improvements will include some landscaping and possibly a children’s playground. Plans include electricity hookups for lighting and sound, which could make the area an alternative spot for evening campfires. 

The projected costs for everything is $25,000, of which we already have $6,500 with more pledged. This may sound like a lot to raise, but I'm convinced we can do it. D’Lynne and Tom have touched hundreds with their ministry through the years. If we can just let most of these people know about this effort, I’m sure they will welcome the opportunity to honor D’Lynne in this way. I envision hundreds of campers this summer and for many summers to come--meeting God, worshipping Him, and enjoying their friends in this special place. D’Lynne would love it.
