Monday in Mississippi
Greetings from Camp Orange Grove. Today our team split up into 4 groups...3 went into East Biloxi and one group stayed at the camp to do much needed special projects around the camp. Our Boy Scout Troop donated a griddle for use at the camp. A group constructed a griddle table made from discarded wood and old pallets. Another group at the camp constructed a platform in a storage shed, another group made camp maps, procedure manuals and posters of the campgrounds to show the layout. By conservative estimates more than 4000 volunteers go thru Camp Orange Grove a Year...we're all here for a short time and by putting procedures and maps in place it will hopefully make the stay here much easier and productive. There are litterally thousands of donated items from lightbulbs to table saws and everything in between that are here in storage units...We'll be doing an inventory of those items to make finding them easy. Perhaps not the dirty sweaty work some expected ..that will come once we get into the field, but important none the less. Tonight because our favorite Baseball will be not be playing we'll be enjoying games of our own.....Euchre, Yahtze and assorted card games for fun and fellowship. Great prizes have been assured.....More later on ¶ 3:44 PM
