Looking for an opportunity to serve?
An amazing group of volunteers installed fire alarms in 2 buildings, finished the girls' staff renovation, and shingled a roof last spring. A small-but-faithful team this fall tackled more finishing touches in the girls' dorm, built a bridge on our trail system, and cut and stacked firewood for the winter. A mens' group from Carruther's Creek Church helped out further clearing brush, putting boats away, and a few other things. Look for some bigger projects to tackle next spring - meanwhile, if you have a few days or a weekend to give, why not call or email and see how we could use you?
