Since the week began, we have been really busy. The Tyrrell-Washington Partnership for Children banquet was a monumental success. The patrons raved about Bernice's (our cook) Collards and Smothered Chicken. Not sure if you like collards cooked in with a streak of lean and a streak of fat with red pepper and sugar, but 100 folks did that night. The chicken was phenomenal. The group leader wanted to know if we could save the chicken for a Door Prize. Obviously the answer was "NO!" But we were filled with flattery.

Jackson Middle School came all the way from Greensboro for Environmental Education and Rock climbing activities. The 80 os so kids here had a phenomenal time with our great program staff and fun activities...Kali "The Beast" taught Food Webs, while AJ, Casper, and Lil' MeMe belayed their hearts out at the climbing wall.

On top of all of this action, I have been training our 3 new cooks. Training cooks is a long process, but if done well, can save lots of time down the road. Staff training for Camp Staff, a process I am much more familiar with is just days away!

This weekend, we have a GIANT wedding reception here...I'll be busy all day Saturday...There is also a family reunion on Sunday, and I'll be "On Call" for that, too!

Enjoy the Memorial Day Weekend...
