Summer Rec Rag #1

When the sun is blazin and the summer gets hot, your Bev Rec blogger is too busy to write. Here is the first of 4 summer Rec Rags, so you can catch up on the gossip. Another will be out shortly.

Many thanks to Jocelyn Cassola and Joshie Melanson (he's baaaack!) for co-authoring the summer Rec Rags! And thanks to the whole staff for their submissions.

Oh, and the last poll indicated that Will McAuliffe will be the counselor of the week for week one. Will is awesome, but is the poll accurate? Let's check the Rag and make sure. I suspect that the Skevster still has more mentions...

Rec Rag Edition 1 - 2011
Summer is upon us. It is time to start living the dream!! Welcome back to all the veterans and good luck to the newbies. Two weeks have passed and now it is time for another edition of the Rec Rag. For all of you newbies the Rec Rag is a gossip and informational bi-weekly column…we have been compared to People Magazine… get the picture.

Time for some off-season news. It is a huge surprise that the office is still standing. Ranger Connor reported a “branch” fell on the roof of the office. This “branch” took down our chimney with it and was actually half of a tree. Thanks Connor for your wonderful reporting skills. For all of you that have not heard Skev raving about the infamous Leslie, it has been confirmed that she is real and was sited at the park last Sunday with Skev getting her tan on. It has also been rumored that he is planning a weekend getaway for them… sounds like it’s getting serious. On the topic of weekend getaways, Sam Stokes and Tim McAuliffe went on a short trip to New Jersey because Sam missed Ronnie so much since the last time she saw him. Rumor is that Sam Stokes might be changing her name to Sammi Sweetheart in the near future.

Speaking of couples there are still some Rec couples going strong. This year we have Josh M and Molly F, Matt M and Jocelyn C, Marco E and Regan G, Sam Stokes and Tim M, Kelsey F and Ben C and last but not least Corinne W and Peter T. Rec love is in the air. <3 No wonder it was so hard to make so many camp placements this year based on that list. Sarah Lane has been missing out on the Rec Romance and was heard asking, “why can’t I mate with a goat? What if I was blind and didn’t know?” Sorry Sarah we don’t have any goats on staff, but Molly F was seen sporting some nice new Zebra print shorts.

We welcome in all of our new staff members. One that is sticking out in our minds is our new Ranger Scott Blanchette. He has been seen driving around with the gate box on top of his car and has spent a lot of time chasing dumpsters down hills. Jocelyn C has hopped on board as the new Head Ranger. Bruce has been irritable lately, I wonder if it is because Jocelyn has been slacking in the food department.
Special events have been going fabulously. ‘Nargaret’ have turned into quite the power couple. Will and Connor have been shopping for their outfits in ridiculous places. Joscelyn Ruelle-Kersker spotted them basically everywhere they went. But they have yet to let us down with their costume choices so keep up the good work. Word on the street is Hayley Mahan is really into the costumes! Another employee who has made quite the impression on the staff is Justin Grabowski. His short shorts were said to have harassed Jocelyn C everytime she looked at him. But Skev said he “liked it if you can pull it off.”

The lifeguards are always good at trying to stay off the radar. It is very hard for them to stay out of the Rec Rag though because they all seem to be related or have dated each other or in some cases both. However with less beaches to watch over then ever before it still seems like they have been complaining more than ever. Pat Wilson has been training for Shark Week and has won the award for lifeguard of the week due to his quick pick up of a dead seal on the beach. The lifeguards have been pretty upset about the sun and cannot seem to function without a canopy. They were spotted looking like Siamese twins huddled under an umbrella. Better hope they don’t melt before the summer’s over.

If you have any juicy information for next week’s Rec Rag make sure you come into the office and let us know. For now happy trails to all and keep up the great work!
