LOTS OF GOOD NEWS

FIRST, THE REALLY GOOD NEWS. WE EXPECT AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO BE MADE SOON confirming a grant from Senator Byrd's office for the lodge building. It has gained approval in the Senate, and there should be a public announcement in the near future.

Also, Connie has spoken to a company that is going to donate all the 2x4's - 2x6's - 2x10's & sheeting
for one cabin. That will save us about 1300.00. Brian Holcomb already has the plans and
will begin very soon on the first cabin.

The installation of the sewer system should begin in a couple of weeks. That bid came in
at around $ 56,000 for all of the septics plus the grease trap. Start to finish will be
less than 120 days.

And the Elk River Pedal and Paddle competition will be finishing up at the Campground on May 16, with an awards ceremony and gospel sing.Buffalo Gals will be making food available. promises to be great fun for all.

Spring will be here before we know it, and then, summer, with camping season in full swing.

thank you, members

Just a word of Thanks to all the members who have made everything happen at Dundon.
many hours of work have been put in by members and volunteers, and it looks like this is going to be a year of progress.
chances remain excellent that the money will be appropriated to continue work on the lodge, and the sewer system will also become a reality.
now, if you have a camper, or know anyone who has one, head them this way. nothing would be more helpful to the Co-op, and to Clay County than to see the camp ground full of fun-loving campers all summer.
with your help, it will happen.
