Summer is fast approaching and there is work to be done. Chanco needs us! I know many of you mentioned after the reunion that you were anxious to get back to camp ... here's your chance!

The CCAA will be holding it's work weekend on May 15-17. Arrive Friday in the late afternoon/evening, hang out around the campfire with us, spend the night in a chalet and be ready to wake up bright and early Saturday morning for a full day of work. If you can only come down on Saturday or Sunday, that's fine, too.

We've talked to Jim Sitzler, the Camp Director, and we have a long list of things that need to be done. We will be doing lots of fun stuff like repairing and possibly building picnic tables in the campsites, repairing benches in the amphitheater, removing stumps, building tent city (remember the tents at old camp? They still use them!), carrying boats down to the waterfront, possibly doing some repairs to the bathhouses ... and whatever else Jim can come up with. We will need tools and materials for all of our projects, so let me know if you can help us out. My email is annkrannitz@gmail.com

Jim also informed us that the out-trip cooking gear is a little on the "I can 't believe we can eat out of this" side (his words exactly). We will get a list from him of items that need to be replaced and we'll set up a little online store so that you can purchase items to donate. We'd like to be able to completely replace the gear for the summer as a little gift from the alumni.

We'll see you all in May!
