NEWS FROM FUTURE PLANNING:
Future Planning as exciting news! We are sponsoring a Membership Drive for the month of April.
If you’re around the Camp pick up a few yellow flyers to post in your hometown. Get a buddy to join the Finn Camp this summer and receive free admission to the Fishing Derby June 13. Look for our hospitality table at the Winterfest on February 7th. Our goal is for increased Finnish Membership and to keep our enrollment strong. This enables the camp to keep up with repairs and host all the summer programs we’ve grown to love, not to mention pay our bills. We are thinking of giving tours to attract new members sometime in May. Look for more news this spring! Our Committee meets the first Thursday of every month and is currently in need of 2 members. Call SAM.
