    A note from Bert Burns:

    Just wanted to send out a quick reminder that Work Day at the Camp is coming fast. Saturday morning, April 30th, at 9:00 a.m. we will get to work. Lunch will be provided and we plan to be done at 4:00 p.m. Bring everyone you can think of :) More hands make light work, or something like that :) Thank you for all support, be it labors of love, thoughts, or prayers. If you have a group who would like a special project, contact me and we will get you one :) Have a great weekend and a very blessed Holy Week.
