We are experiencing some technical difficulties with our website right now so I will be posting our information here for the time being.  If you have anything you would like to share please send it to lamb@vintagefire.com and I will post it.  Thanks for your understanding.

Update on Glenn Reid - My dad is out of the hospital and doing fine.  He was dehydrated and has some bone degeneration in his spine.  No heart problem or signs of stroke.  So, we are all thankful.  I hope your time here was still productive and fun.  Please, let us know if you would like to host your group here again in the future.

Best,
