Fall is upon us at Double H and we have kicked off our Fall Family weekends with Rosie’s Round Up and Rosie’s Love Memorial. Starting in October we look forward to Cindy’s Comfort Camp, Bravehearts, Bleeding Disorders and Spina Bifida Weekends. It is a busy time of year!

Our family weekends are one of the highlights of working at Double H, it is amazing to see an entire family relax and forget about their troubles and just enjoy spending time together. A brand new family came for Rosie’s Love Memorial and at first they were hesitant as to what to expect and what they would get out of the weekend. At the end of the weekend the mother said “At first, I didn’t know if I would like being here for a weekend but now I don’t want to leave and I can’t wait until next Fall”.

It is the time spent at the Double H, the activities that volunteers provide, and the respite that families receive that make these weekends so enjoyable and memorable. A huge thank you to all of the volunteers that have signed up to help us through the Fall Family Programs- we couldn’t do it without you! Also to our wonderful families, you inspire us and motivate us with your stories and experiences, thank you for letting us be a part of your time at Double H!

The warm summer months may be behind us but here in Development we are still working hard to secure funding for our camper’s week in the woods or lesson on the slopes. As the leaves turn their autumn colors we are gearing up for some fun Fall family events. We are looking forward to our 10th Annual Mini Golf Tournament, our first ever Walk in the Woods – Dog Walk, our Partner’s Monster Mash and two Fall Community Work Days. For more information on these and other events please visit our Calendar section of the webpage.

We are also excited to announce that the Double H Ranch is on Facebook (Double H Ranch) and Twitter (Doublehranch). Be sure to visit our newest social media outlets for updates, upcoming events and program announcements. We welcome your personal stories of what the Double H means to you and look forward to further sharing with you the magic of the Double H.

As we wrap up a busy event season Development would also like to thank everyone who helped make the Gala, Travers and other fundraising initiative this summer such a success. We appreciate the numerous volunteers, generous sponsors and dedicated donors and supporters. We had a great Summer 2009 and look forward to an even better 2010.
