On Monday we did a service project. We walk up the road and do yard clean up for the houses that live along the road to camp. These people put up with dust and busses and loud girls all summer, now yes maybe you shouldn't have bought a house near an active camp, but they did and now they are unhappy. For the last 5 years our leaders have had the girls go up the road. Someone's mother lives out here, so they contact the homeowners and see if they would like anything done and get permission to help. It has become something the neighbors look forward to, and one couple have been buying ALOT of cookies and drinks and then serve us when we are all done. The house we did, used up all the garbage bags and then some, after the leaders drove into town to buy MORE! Here is our pile of bags FULL of pine needles. One of the leaders asked a neighbor if any of the other stakes do this and they said no, we are the only ones and they can't wait every year for us to come!
