What a job!!
One crew of men finished up the skirting at Delores’s house, and the other crew completed the siding and drywalling at Debra’s house, and pulled the MDS tool trailer back to the camp on Thursday.
The ladies kept busy with a new task provided by the Camp of the Hills. We had asked if there was anything we could help them with, and they accommodated us. Our first task was to organize and put all of the campers’ clothing neatly into a huge closet. This was an incredible job – there were hundreds of all sizes of all size T-shirts - children’s, men’s and ladies, Then they also had some better clothing in a special place for the “dress-up” banquet the night before they left.
Before we can get this under control, our men are going to build some specific shelving. The camp person responsible for keeping the clothing in order said they have tried many methods of attempting to keep the clothing from being rummaged through and in an orderly fashion, but all have failed,. So they are trying something just a little different this time. Good luck!
Then she needed someone to help her clean up the counsellors’ quarters, as they had a bunch of kids coming in for the weekend. We were busy ladies. Bathrooms, the living area, and bunk rooms all needed cleaning.
Basically, the camp itself could use our volunteers for various projects right up until the time the first camper arrives in June . .
We were glad to see the weekend come, as we had worked pretty hard.
On Wednesday evening, we had a pot luck dinner and games night at the dining hall. Alex from the Americorps group joined us and said he enjoyed himself immensely. He is a nice single young man who I would like to take home for Shari…
We enjoyed two meals compliments of Debra at her home, one a lunch on Tuesday that she made for all of us, and the other a supper on Thursday for all as well. It was wonderful food and fellowship.
