Time for a photo round-up of the last couple weeks!
First, a big thank you to the volunteers who were here last Saturday for the work day. Pictured are some of the crew: working on landscaping outside Green Valley House, installing railings on the youth office footbridge, and replacing rotting wood around the planter our main entrance sign planter. You did great work, volunteers!
Next are a couple pictures of the cabins under construction at Massanutten Technical Center. They look more and more like real cabins at every stage now! The exterior siding is up, the mini splits are installed, and the interior paneling is going on.
Then a few pictures near Mountain View Retreat Center. Several trees were planted there in memory of Everett and Evelyn Suter, and new siding is now almost completely installed. You may recall that the front of the building got new siding last year; this is now the back of the building being finished up.
Finally, our pool is sparkling clean and looking inviting! We had new pumps and filters installed and a leaky seam repaired during the off season, and one of our lifeguards has been working hard over the last weeks to get everything ready for swimming season. Anyone who is up for spring swimming will get a chance next Saturday during our Celebration event! The forecast is saying it will be sunny and in the upper 70s, so we`re planning to have the pool open for a few hours next Saturday afternoon. Will we see you there?
