"Hi Jody - Just a note to let you know that we truly enjoyed the afternoon we spent at Camp Lakodia. All of the attending counties were so impressed with the improvements. I wish the weather would have been a bit nicer, but February in South Dakota can be a bit hard to predict!
Hope all is well in your world - it was such a pleasure to meet you. Perhaps we will come across each other again"
Thanks so much,
Shirlee Leighton
"Boy, did you make me a hit with my family! The family was absolutely thrilled with our weekend. They kept commenting that the house was just beautiful and we were so comfortable there. The kids playing indoors all day because of the rain was not even a problem because of the spaciousness of it. The fireplace kept us cozy although it was wet and windy outdoors. The huge table was just great for our marathon card games that we love so much. The view of the lake from so many different vantage points was so beautiful. No one was ready to leave and go to our homes! Thank you so much, Jody, for your pleasant and helpful spirit. You were just great to work with and made it so easy to take care of the details of the weekend. We want to stay again soon!
Do you know the availability of Turk Lodge and Yankton Cabin for the last weekend in March next year?"
Thank you so much,
Marli Wiese

"Dear Jody, Good to meet you and THANK YOU for all your hospitality to the South Dakota 4-H Foundation. We had a great board meeting and very much enjoyed the lodge and the tour.
Camp Lakodia is a wonderful place to go and stay! The board members were very impressed during the tour with the changes and the appearance of the camp. Thanks again."

"Hi Janet, CSD has hosted one planning meeting with Sprint personnel (CSD Customer Relations Managers and Sprint Government Account Executives) in the past at Camp Lakodia (Fall of 2003). The atmosphere was very supportive of a focused business meeting with limited distractions. The food was catered by local merchants and was excellent. The accommodations were clean, modern and very comfortable.
The ability to host a business meeting with limited distractions (phone, pagers, computers and cell phones) in an environment that is relaxed and productive has been most enjoyable! The audio visual amenities and staff support was excellent."
