Back to School and Looking Ahead...

It was back to school this weekend with informational sessions conducted by our very own Gary Behler and Walter Fues. Pool School and Electrical School provided an opportunity to share valuable information regarding how the pool pumps work, keeping the chemical levels in check, steps to go through should you or a fellow camper have an electrical issue as well as many other tips.  THANK YOU to our Vounteer Teachers, as well as everyone who came out to show interest in how we keep our great park humming along.



On Sunday, Z&B was open for business...the line was almost as long as Uncle Bill's.
Chris Zinsky, Don Butler, Jim Zinsky, Sharon Butler and there's that sous chef again...
The crew served up pancakes and sausage, along with orange juice and coffee.  DELISH!! It's always better when someone else cooks, right?

Working towards cleaning up wood and debris, would like to use our own "manpower" as opposed to contracting leaf removal out; looking into the possibilty of a chipper/shredder to assist. Some trees need to come down; would like to plant replenish by planting one for every one that comes down.

FINANCE: We are in good shape, should not need a rate increase. Long range plan includes possible electric upgrade, which funds might be raised through a bond issue.
