CAMP COMMITTEE - Cottage owners we hope everyone enjoyed Turner Camp's birthday last weekend. We have 1 more week of the Youth Program remaining and would welcome anyone available to help with the set up and take down of the Final Show backdrop. Adam Koester is the point person for setup and teardown. They have an organized system in place but additional hands make it go much quicker. Those of you who have helped in the past, we encourage you to come back out, as you already have an idea of what needs to be done. If you can help on Saturday morning (8/10) at 10am, we will be meeting at the Sugar Bowl. See you there.
