WORK SESSION C - Thursday, June 20 - Part I
Posted: Thu Jun 20, 2013 5:08 pmIt's the fourth day of Session C and volunteers are working hard to complete their assigned tasks before the fifth and final day - wrap-up, and preparation for the next team of volunteers coming in on Monday, June 24.
The work sessions on Friday will end early (around noon) because the Friends' annual membership meeting and dinner includes a train trip, departing at 4:15 p.m. for Cumbres - featuring a great dinner (fried chicken and all of the trimmings) prepared by Steven Flowers. Nice reward for a productive work week!
We won't be posting photos tomorrow because of the annual meeting, followed by the Friends' all-day Board meeting on Saturday at Cookin' Books in Chama.
Look for photos on Sunday, after registration is completed for Work Session D.
