Annual cleanup for our cabin that we sponsor at Camp Daggett.  Our cabin is "Iroquois," which is located on the girls' side of camp.  We will be meeting at the cabin at 8:00 am on Saturday, May 11.

Tasks for our cabin maintenance:

• Sweep
• Clean Area Rugs
• Clean Screens
• Sweep steps
• Roof - remove branches and leaf litter
• Cabin exterior - touchup stain (Camp Daggett provides stain)

Camp Daggett will supply paint/stain, brushes, ladders, brooms, etc. available for us to use, but Camp Daggett is also encouraging us to bring our own supplies if possible.... so if you have an extra broom, rake, or other tools you think might be helpful, please consider bringing them.  If not... that's completely okay!  Work gloves might be handy.

Road Cleanup is Saturday, May 18.  Meet at the Tourist Park at 900am. I'll also bring the paper signup sheet to noon Rotary.

Planting day in East Jordan with the DDA! 

Our club has donated $200 toward the expense of the flowers on the bridge and we are also signed up to plant the geraniums on the bridge.

The city will have all the supplies needed, we just have to show up.  If you'd prefer to wear garden gloves or use small hand shovels, please bring yours from home.

Friends and family are welcome to join the fun in planting.
