Meeting Day Two

We had another early start this morning. We had a pancake and sausage breakfast at 7:30 and were in the meeting by 8:15. It was a long day, finishing up in time for dinner at 6:00. As usually happens, items get added to the agenda and discussions take longer than planned. We have five new Board members, so a good deal of time is spent in explanation of or the history of an agenda item.

This evening after dinner, the Camp Director hooked up a hay wagon to his little wheel tractor and took us on a tour of the camp. Camp Deerpark is owned by five of the New York City churches. It used to be a farm and then a golf course. The buildings we are staying in were part of the old farmstead. They are building some new cabins nearby out of lumber from their own trees.

I understand I missed out on the horrible windstorm that swept through eastern Washington last night. Forry said there was just enough rain before the dust storm to make Toad II and Auntie Violet a mess...
