I have some bad news to deliver: The 2007 September AKKI Camp has been cancelled due to severe health issues with Mr. Mills father, “Dub” Mills. Here is the email direct from Mr. Mills:

Dear AKKI Members,

It is with deep regret that I must cancel the September AKKI Camp. My father is very sick at this time and I must devote all my energy towards my family. This decision has not come easy for myself or my family as we have never cancelled an AKKI camp before. With the severe demands on myself and my family’s time, I reluctantly make this choice.

I know that many of you have already purchased tickets and put aside other financial priorities in order to attend this camp and for this, I am deeply sorry. It is our hope that we will be able to make up this camp possibly this December with an AKKI camp in Evanston WY. Or, we may have to wait until Las Vegas March 2008 Camp. We will let you know of the details as soon as they become available.

You, the members, have always supported me in my endeavors with the AKKI and to that I am grateful. During this critical time, I hope that you all can understand that this is what I need to do for my family and support me in this decision.

Thank you for all you do.

Paul Mills

Please join me in supporting Mr. Mills during this difficult time for both him and his family. If you have any questions, please bring them to the class and I would be happy to answer them.

  1. We absolutely support Mr. Mills and his family, and wish the best for all of them. That is surely where he needs to be, and wouldn’t expect him to be anywhere else. There will be other camps, and seminars. The important thing right now is for him to be with his father. I know this is a hard time to go through, and our hearts go out to him and his family. We truly respect this decision that Mr.Mills has made.
