I "volunteered" to help with a family reunion of 80 plus people the last
weekend Suz was at Hitaga... I enlisted Joan Minney to join me, and we had a great weekend...
I'm sure you all remember kitchen duty at camp and how much fun it was
-- it still is! That weekend, Joan and I got a pretty good
idea of the fantastic progress made under Suz' watch. On Saturday, Suz
talked to us about current needs. Programming materials, craft supplies,
arrows, everything, are in short supply -- donations are needed for
those... Suz was good at begging for funds and securing new program
materials, but many upgrades are still needed... The bottom couple of layers of siding on the Aponita cabins
was rotting and needed replacement. I volunteered for that job, bought
the materials, and enlisted my very handy neighbor to help... Coming out of the 80th Anniversary Alumni Reunion, we had a lot of positive momentum for the success of Camp Hitaga, and we need to keep it going... Kathy's full original comments were posted October 17, 2011

| The Gift of Campcraft |
| Helen Braden Atkinson (Netahi 1964) recently sent a check for $400 and a note saying: "I am delighted to think I can still contribute to a program that shaped the person I have become." Helen counseled Campcraft 1965-66. Her gift will be used to purchase a tent for overnights and canoe trips. Remaining funds will help fill other Capcraft needs like grills, Coleman stoves, survival kits, reflector ovens, cooking utensils or dutch ovens. She hopes the idea will catch on, and others will join her in giving to support the craft areas that meant the most to them. |
