Spring Fling a special thank you. The Membership committee out did itself again with a great fellowship event.  Be sure to thank them. It was both fun and delicious!
 
Spring Clean-up Part 1: Time to make our grounds and building sparkle. Our annual spring cleaning will take place on Saturday, June 3rd, beginning at 9:00 AM. You bring your energy, we'll bring the coffee, juice and snacks. The more the merrier.
 
Spring Clean-up Part 2: In conjunction with the spring clean-up, we will be doing a complete re-organization and clean out (read disposal) in the "not a basement". There will be a special label available in the office to mark all items that should be kept for future use. If there is NO LABEL, the Committee to Assess, Discuss, Appraise, Value Everything Remaining (C.A.D.A.V.E.R) will remove such items from the premises for disposal or recycling. If you cannot review the stuff on June 3rd, please stop by sometime before the 3rd and label your stuff.
 
LEAFING OUT FOR GREENWOOD! The Camp Greenwood trees are leafing out nicely, both at the Campground and on our poster. We have six of our NKPC children registered to attend Camp Greenwood and there are two more who are thinking about it. The Send a Kid to Camp Fund is now covering five of those children ($1,775.51) so we are still hoping for continued assistance. Thank you to all who have contributed so far to make this possible.
One family is going to family camp. Care to join them?
