April 24th was a gorgeous Saturday for our Camp Lawton Service Day.

 

Our RCOT was represented very well by super Hamburger flipper, Jim Ruboyianes and the Dining Hall, Kitchen, and the Back Patio Clean Team:  Leah Daniszewski, Jan Green, Charles Herbele, Bobby Larson, Ellie Patterson and Jon Wang.  The Cheerful Service Food Service Line consisted of Jan Green serving fresh off the grill hot dogs and hamburgers, Joe Daniszewski's spooning out Momma's Chili and Jon Wang, the super purveyor of chips and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.

 

Over 150 Scouts and Scouters cleaned up campsites, raked up dozens of trash bags of pine needles and spruced up over 50 cabins and overnight camping shelters.  All picnic tables were refurbished and the Archery Range was prepared for 2021 programs.

 

Rincon Rotary had four members helping with Dining Hall Cleanup and the chocolate chip cookie detail.
