  Spring Work Weekend at the Lodge

  April 25th - 27th

  Our lodge needs tender loving care to stay beautiful, and as a volunteer organization,

  we provide the labor ourselves. 
  This past season we did not have paid cleaning help, so there will be lots to do. 

  If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and get down and get dirty, we can accomplish a great deal. Many hands make light work. Lodging and food are free to all participants. 

  Many hands make light work.

  When our work day is done … we have fun.

  We do have improvements and general maintenance we need to accomplish.  Saturday will be a day of work.  On Saturday evening we will enjoy the dinner and party at the lodge

  Sunday morning, we'll finish up whatever needs to be completed, then enjoy the rest of the day.
