2015 BTLN MEMORY WORK LEGENDS


This year we set a new Btln 3739 record for total number of Btln Members that completed the Memory Work in a single year! The previous record was six Btln Members and this year we had eight! It is so exciting to have so many guys completing the Memory Work!

This year Jonathan moved ahead of Btln Legends; Devan England, Ben Jepsen, Devin Chursinoff, Zach Gobbett and Gerrald Nicholson. Jonathan has now moved into second place all time!

Ben has now completed the MW four times and both Noah and Luke have finished it three times. This year we also had four Btln Members complete the MW for the first time! Four first timers is also a new Btln 3739 MW record for a single year! (The previous record was three.) Congrats to Lukas, Jakob, Stephan and Dolan, who all completed the MW for the first time!

The MW has now been completed 69 times combined! I am so proud of everyone on this list! A Btln salute to everyone on this list!

BTLN UPDATE - MAYLONG 2015






Maylong 2015 was special for many reasons! For starters, by my calculations it was the 35th Maylong Campout for Btln 3739! Secondly, I am sure we set a record for combined distance traveled to attend a Maylong! Ryley flew home from Florida for the Maylong! A Btln Salute for Ryley! We also had Ryley's dad Rick, Tyler, Derrick, Jake, Travis and the Pods! We actually had about 35 guys on Treadmill this year! I also should mention, that for the first time we had hot shaves on the beach! Jake was giving hot shaves to anyone that wanted one! I missed out this year, but I am hoping that Jake and his razor's will be making a return to the Maylong in the future!

This year we also had the tenth annual Maylong Cribbage Tourney! There were four two-time Champions before this year and now, Devin has become the fifth two-time Champion! Devin and Noah defeated Abe and Rick (2-0) in the final to claim the Cribbage Trophy! Congrats to Devin and Noah!

The Maylong is also the traditional end to the Memory Work competition. This year Jonathan, Noah, Ben and Jakob completed the Memory Work at the Maylong! For Jakob, it was his first time finishing the Memory Work! Congrats Jakob! Welcome to the world of gentlemen!

The Maylong Regatta is now in it's fourth year and has become one of the favourite events at the Maylong. This year, Riley and Phoenix's boat was first to make it to the bridge! Congrats to Riley and Phoenix! Noah was second and Lukas was third. Watching the guys chase their boats through the creek is awesome! I think we will be making some changes for next years Maylong Regatta! Can't wait!

BTLN BIRTHDAYS - MAY




I can't believe that it is May already! We are already less than two weeks from our annual Btln May Long Campout! So many stellar guys having birthdays this month! With so many guys having birthdays there are hundreds of pictures! It is so hard to choose between pictures, so we have a collage with a hundred pictures!

Philippians 3:20-21   But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.


Happy Birthday and may God bless you again this year!
