Hope everyone had a
wonderful Mother’s Day! It has been yet another very busy week here at
North Woods:
On Thursday, Ginny Hodder encouraged the Camping Board of Managers
and special guest Ann Tikkanen, the CFO for the YMCA, to tackle the
new five-year strategic plan. Thanks to Andy Doyle, John Keeler,
John Trump, Dave Lucas, Karen Sabatino, Linda Todaro,
Phil Dooher, Joyce Horner, Charles Sorenson and
Bonnie Johnson for not only representing our camping family and
providing such exceptional attendance, but for laboring late into the
night.
On Friday, Fran Rogers
and the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy continued their generous string
of donations. The latest gifts come on the heels of the desks, tables and
file cabinets that have already brought a whole new look to many areas of
camp. The stake rack truck was filled with a supply of storage lockers
that will be used by everyone from seniors to adventure trippers to the
maintenance crew.
On Saturday, Mike McCarthy
and the volunteers continued emptying the barn, affectionately known as
“Glenn’s Place,” by moving all the bed frames to the new storage
zone in the Maintenance Emporium.

| Carole Gary began her Mother’s
Day weekend by organizing another crew of volunteers in the
spring-cleaning and interior decorating of the Barstow Office and
Infirmary. Jennifer Christian and Jason Menetti worked on
rearranging the Drama room. Finally, our webmasters alphabetized the
“Where R U Now” page in preparation for the much-anticipated flood of
updates from alumni of all generations (hint, hint!). Send your notes to info@ymcacamp.net |

Sunday brought beautiful
sunshine to camp and some quite unexpected visitors. The Dalzells
arrived by boat and personally RSVP’ed to Old Timers Weekend. Dave Norton,
John Trump and Walter Parkinson have already confirmed their
attendance. Greg and his mother, Michelle Davis, took a tour and we
expect that he will continue the legacy of his great grandfather, Wilbur
F. Storer, this summer.
We hope that more of you
can free up some time to join us this coming weekend as we host our first
user group of the season and continue to prepare the site for the summer!
