Outdoors Club Spring Cleanup pictures
Over the weekend June 12/13, we had 16 volunteers participating in our annual cabin clean-up event in Glacier Springs. Cleaning a cabin entails many jobs: dusting and vacuuming, cleaning windows, airing mattresses, sanitizing washrooms, washing out all kitchen cabinets, mowing the lawn, brushing down the roof, chimney cleaning, powerwashing outside stairs and decks, chopping wood and filling the storage shed with split wood for next winter, and burning all the junk.
The attached pictures show our volunteers in action.
I can say with pride and without exaggeration: our cabin is now as clean and presents as well as any other Club cabin in the area.
We owe our volunteers: they deserve our appreciation !!!
