Reunion comments from Alumni & Families:

"Last year Judy and I came to the 4^th of July picnic at the Ranch. Jordan had been at the Lodge for about 2 months and, while progressing, was far from doing well. The Alumni talks were very encouraging to us, and I prayed that we’d be back for the 2007 Alumni & Friends Reunion with Jordan giving one of the talks. Thanks to God and the Burning Tree program it happened! June 30^th was indeed a day of celebration and gratitude.

Thank you for establishing the Burning Tree Program and personally being a part of Jordan’s recovery. We are thrilled with and proud of the progress he has made and the direction he is going. Thanks for also sponsoring a great party!

Sincerely,

Jim B."

"Coming back to the Ranch for the reunion is always an exciting time for me. The excitement begins the moment I merge onto the highway headed to Kaufman Texas. Each year as I drive back to the Ranch I am filled with memories of my first drive there, rides on the van, the 4th of July parade, trips to the hospital, and I could continue on and on. I still cannot believe that I am the one that comes back as a sober alumni with almost 4 years of sobriety. Each time I stand and share my experience with the present clients and their families, I am filled with such gratitude that I was given the chance to attend the ranch, and that I have continued to work the program after leaving. It is a pleasure to see the staff when coming back not only to thank them, but to also let them know that there are some of us who are still making it on the outside world. Life is different outside of the Ranch, but I honestly do not think I could have done it had I not spent my time there and learned the things that I did while I was in there. It is wonderful to see the group that you lived with for almost a year come back together at least for 1 day. We share a bond like no other. The ranch and AA make that possible. The fire works are an end to a wonderful day of memories, fellowship, and hope. Every time I see them they bring me into the Now completely! I pray that I continue to remain in service and in the work and as long as I do I will be at every reunion. Thank you for all that you do!

"The yearly reunion at BTRR is always a good time because Its good to see other alcoholics and addicts that are still sober. Last year I was in treatment during the reunion but this year it was good to come back and see some people I haven't seen in awhile. Its always nice to come back on the property because I spent 11 months there and I have a lot of memories. I know the staff and clients work very hard to make the reunion happen every year, so I appreciate the dedication. The food and fireworks are always good, and its just a fun event in general.

Thanks, Tucker sober date 5-25-06 class of 2007"
