Who: Many of the ROMEOs of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Wilmington
expressed the desire to participate in a men's outing. Several of the members
got together and designed this event. It was decided to invite any "UCONCI"

(for those of you who don't know, ROMEOs stands for"Retired Old Men Eating
Out")

When: The weekend of October 24, 25, 26.
Where: at Shelter Neck UU Camp near Burgaw, NC .
Why: We all love music, and we all have an adult - parent - child inside.
We don't dare act like a child in front of our kids.
And God forbid you let the seat up after you pee.
Lord also knows we parent the world daily.
Time to take a load off! Let the seat up! Relax. Enjoy life!
Dust off your child, take a deep breath and let him play for a weekend.
