UPDATED - summer 2008 staffing needs

Spring Work Weekend!!

It’s TIME!!!

The CJL Spring Work Weekend is scheduled for April 18, 19, & 20.

This is our weekend to open camp in preparation for the annual Parent-Daughter Weekend, which will be two weeks later. Our main task will be to clean and prepare Camp for the big event and do lots of small repair jobs. The Parent-Daughter Weekend has proven to be extremely successful in our recruiting efforts and for spreading the good word about CJL. It is vital that we have lots of help making Camp look as good as possible. If you know friends, relatives, or other Alums that would like to join up for the fun, fellowship, and fabulous food (oh yes, and a little hard work), please invite them and include them on your registration form. We would really appreciate the extra help and would especially appreciate a commitment to work both Saturday and Sunday.

Many folks arrive on Friday night after supper (Dot’s first meal will be Saturday morning breakfast). Work begins Saturday morning right after breakfast. Remember to bring warm clothing and warm sleeping gear as it can be chilly at night on the mountain. Don’t forget your rain gear!! As always it’s helpful to bring work gloves and whatever tools you think might be handy such as rakes, shovels, clippers, hammers, etc. Especially handy are gas-powered blowers.

Please email Carolyn Wood Frost at cfrost214@bellsouth.net to make a reservation by Tuesday, April 15th. Please be specific about the number of people in your party and meals to be eaten. It is very important to give Dot an accurate meal count, as she will have to purchase all the food for our weekend. We want to have adequate food without being wasteful.

Thank you for your help and support on past work weekends and I hope to see each of you in April.
