           Columbus Day Work/Play  Weekend           October 11-13,2019

  Our lodge needs tender loving care to stay beautiful, and as a volunteer organization,

  we provide the labor ourselves. Columbus Day Weekend was epic last year…and since

  we did a Spring Work Weekend, we are ahead of the game! Let’s improve our space

  and with a strong work force we could do lots of things! When our work day is

  done….we have fun.

  Most of Saturday will be work. We do have improvements and general maintenance we

  need to accomplish and after we end with an epic BBQ and party….Most of Sunday and

  Monday are leisure time unless we get a bunch of slackers!

  The theme of the weekend is empathized in this song

  DEVO:Working in a coal mine

  NEW MEMBERS WE WANT YOU!

  Saturday                                        Sunday

  good job keeping on top of things. Let’s get this place ready for winter…or maybe take

  on something big.. details to come to those who dare sign up for this epic fun, bust ass,

  free weekend! No slackers.. you work for your chow!!

  Lodging and food are free to all participants. BONUS: choose ONE night, before

  (Thursday) or after (Monday), to stay for FREE (No food provided), let Erich, our
