The camp meeting has had some tree damage during the last two storms.  A storm in early December brought a tree down on Cottage #35 (the old cottage treasures) and did some damage to the roof and back side of the cottage.  A work crew of volunteer cottagers worked with Grounds to remove the tree, secure the roof with tarping, and contact the electrician to work on damaged electrical lines that were also damaged.   

The storms last week brought down more trees with the most significant damage to the upper restroom roof and a few other camp owned structures had minor damage to their roofs as well.  We had a tree also fall alongside Turtle Lodge and thankfully did not cause any damage to the structure. Many thanks to Alan McCarrick for being the first to assess and report on the damage, and Bob Cloutier and John Krulik for tarping and securing all damaged structures.  Simon James, Grounds Chair, will be meeting with our insurance company to review the damage and see how they can help cover some of the losses.  Alan McCarrick, our Sales and Rentals Chair, also notified any privately owned cottage owners who may have had damage to their cottages.  Simon has also secured an approved tree company to begin removal of the dead trees and the Grounds Committee is working on a plan for coordination of a work party/contractor to start the needed repairs of our structures over the winter months.
