As we head toward the darker days of the early winter season, we are grateful for the recent rains that have refilled our ponds, our wells, and our rivers. The colder weather brings a promise of snow-filled slopes and trails.  While we wait out “stick season”, our thoughts turn toward our next projects, including setting up the ice rink at Camp Tak-um-ta in Grand Isle. Dave Koepel and his merry band set up the rink in November and take it down in April. This rink is used by campers and families who utilize the camp.  For those not familiar with the work of Camp Tak-um-ta, I encourage you to learn more about it HERE. It’s a camp for kids with cancer and their families to enjoy a safe and welcoming respite in summer and winter – at no cost. Last year we built dozens of storage cubbies for the cabins and we appreciate the opportunities for service work there.
