As a result, the Board of Directors has decided to table the Winter Lodges project. Fortunately, we still have the resources to build the proposed Gymnasium as well as a storage barn. We have started the process of applying for a special use permit for this project. It is our hope that there will not be major opposition from the neighbors since the Gym will not add any traffic on the road and should not have any impact at all on the local community. If the permit can be obtained in time, we plan to begin construction of the Gymnasium in September and complete it in time for our 100 th Anniversary season in the summer of 2002.
Planning is now underway for a major celebration.
We will want to include as many alumni as possible. If you don't get alumni mailings or you know a fellow alumnus who doesn't, then please email us with the address and phone number and ask to be put on the mailing list. We'll send information about the 100 th Anniversary as soon as it becomes available. If the answer is yes, please consider asking that your gift go to Surprise Lake Camp. One of the benefits is that United Way donors can earmark their contributions to go to us.
