June 20-21st Work Weekend Completed!

5th 2009 Volunteer Weekend a Success.

Thank you volunteers! Altogether we had 24 alumni and friends attend. Collectively we accomplished quite a lot including: trimming most of the brush between the parade field and cabin row, bleaching and power washing the cabins, caulking cabins, leveling cabins, staining bunk beds, cutting off roofing nails sticking into the cabin ceilings, raking under, behind and around the cabins and relocating tarp loads of leaves into the woods, bringing scrap wood up to fill holes, and moving debris from around Norm’s new residence.

Please join us for our next one on July 18-19th.
