Some Chores

Yesterday Liz and I spent the day doing some cleaning at the main lodge. Unfortunately our traps have, as yet, not captured the gray squirrel that managed to make it's way inside. But we've seen no further signs of the beast since Kevin put out the sound machine (it emits a tone that apparently drives the critters away), so perhaps he's moved on. We got quite a bit done in the cleaning department, but will need to go back and finish up the kitchen tomorrow. The pantry certainly looks bare, we'll be launching our Grocery Grabber program again in the next few weeks, so if your church would be interested in taking part with us in a practical non-perishable way, just let us know and we'll get a kit off to you!

We are still waiting for our new dumpster to arrive. We have been promised a new dumpster by Alternative Waste Management (our friendly neighbourhood garbage men), and it is supposed to be larger with more secure doors to keep out the wildlife. Kevin and I inquired about a new dumpster for camp a few weeks ago when we were in to pay our tipping fees. We were told that a larger dumpster is no additional cost and there is no increase in the tipping fee. We were very pleased to hear this and are eager to get the bigger unit to serve our needs.

Today Kev & I are off to Fredericton to do some camp business. Kevin recently had the fire alarm system inspected and put into operation, we will be stopping in to see the good folks there today. They have prepared a complete report for us on the status of our system. We also have some banking to do as well - I also hope to acquire a few more coin rollers for the upcoming Penny Rolling Party. The folks at the bank have been very helpful in getting us supplies for the event. I have a grocery bag full of coin rollers of all kinds as well as bank boxes for bulk pennies when we cash them in. It's going to be quite a day, so come on over, bring some pennies and help us roll...
