summer and it couldn’t happen without you and the rest of the volunteers who help day in and day out. Speaking of volunteers – how about giving an evening or two a month to help in the Clubhouse? We’re currently looking for bartenders and short order cooks (and you can be both
). Please text Mary Fran at 301-335-3106 if you can help out, it’s really needed and much appreciated. I don’t think much camping is gonna happen this
