THE WORK!
#1 Jerry Thompson and the Macon gang will need help on the furnace room. Jerry, I am guessing you knew about this. Ernie, there are electrical needs here and Bz has a few other things he would like you to look at.
#2 Many of you may already know that we have to spot repair the trail so that it is serviceable for the upcoming season. We have a bid and are excepting others for total repair and replacement of the trail. I will gladly meet with anyone wanting to bid this. *Please contact me if you are good at writing to corporations for donations. If you are one of our great donation getters, the current bid is approx. 145,000.00. I do believe this contractor was being very nice.
#3 Leaf removal! Yes, one of the many things we “enjoy” and must do every year. This is a challenge as both of our leaf blowers are in the shop. If you can, please bring leaf blowers and rakes!
#4 Last but not really last... We are cleaning up the lake front. We will be creating a park like setting. There are trees to clean up, leaves to remove, and we will be adding 2 sidewalks made with paver bricks.
Additional Information
We socialize Friday night around a bonfire. Saturday morning we begin
working at 9 am. Most of the jobs are outlined on a list with a few special
jobs for skilled workers. Some typical jobs are cutting firewood, painting,
moving benches and uncovering the pool. The work load is usually light
and there will be many people helping. Work usually ends early in the
afternoon. The rest of the weekend is for enjoyment. Saturday afternoons
are always fun!
Saturday night has the Corps meetings, a bonfire, cards, knock poker,
exploring, etc. The meetings should last only 1 to 1 1/2 hours. The Corps'
are state-wide groups that raise money solely for camp.
Sunday morning everyone helps clean their cabin and we all leave camp
better than when we found it.
The cabins are modern climate controlled, concrete floored, open
dormitory, duplex buildings with one big shared bathroom per side. Each
cabin has 18 beds, 3 showers, 3 toilets, 4 sinks, washer and dryer.
