Greetings everyone,
Just a note to let you all know that this work weekend was a great success. We had 60 workers attend, Paramount Terrace being the only church represented. The weather was awesome, and the workers really attacked the list I had for them with no fear! Here is a list of the things accomplished... it is kind of lengthy, but I feel it necessary for you all to be kept up to date on the happenings here:

I am sure I have forgotten some items that were also done. These were the main focus of the work weekend. Next weekend will be concentrated on putting the chow hall kitchen back together, and major cleaning of the rest of the cabins.
Let me know if you plan to attend this work weekend, may 4th-6th. Look forward to seeing you there!
In His service,
