Beaver Weekend & Friends of Cedarlands
Posted by Ivory under: General .
Yesterday, I wrote to Tom Labayewski and Mark Miller, offering that I’d be happy to share news about the upcoming Beaver Weekend, and asked that they forward me a link to whatever information they had about it. For those not familiar with it, this is a yearly event where volunteers can meet at the camp for a weekend of volunteer work around the camp, helping to get it ready for the upcoming summer. Based on what I saw, I expect there will be a lot to do!
Earlier today, Karen Cornmire forwarded a copy of a note which Tom sent out after receiving my query. I’ve included it below…

Your help is needed to get camp ready for this Summer. The Council is hosting a work weekend May 30-June 1st . Projects include campsite clean-up, tent outrigger construction, carpentry, plumbing, waterline repair, painting, and general clean-up. To register call 315-735-4437. Pre-registration will allow us to properly plan for food (Saturday night steak dinner for the meat eaters).
Housing is on a first come first serve basis, you may also pitch your tent, there’s a great view by the chimney. The Cedarlands Alumni Organization will also be having their annual meeting.
Come enjoy a day of fellowship and work as we prepare camp for 2008.

For reasons that aren’t clear, I was not on the original distribution list for the above. Go figure.
I’m sure it was just an oversight. 
I’d greatly appreciate it if people who go would please take photos and send in commentary. I’ll do what I can to post on their behalf.
On a different note, I’d like to encourage readers to check out the Friends of Cedarlands site at Cedarlands.org . It is a volunteer organization dedicated to helping out the camp. From a note sent to me…
To join go to Cedarlands.org and go to the application page. Fill out the application and mail it to the council office. Dues are $20 a year, but, I am going to recommend at out meeting next week that dues drop town to 5-10 dollars. We are there to provide money for things that the council does not have the founds to buy such as sail boats, boats, guns and other things that will add to boys experience at camp. We are also having a reunion weekend at camp- I do not know the exact date but it will be on the website.
I think this is a fine idea, and have already told them that I will be joining.
One Comment so far...
