Showers in the Forecast

Joe Zuraw and several Scout Leaders have been busy on the hill, ably assisted by the regular first Saturday work crew. Working showers will soon be on the hill. As of July 5, we have a 12x12 slab poured for the foundation to the shower house, and a 7 x12 slab on the northeast end of the pavilion to hold the water tanks. A structure has been completed for the tanks, and the tanks have undergone a thorough cleaning, thanks to scout leaders Mike and Doug, and Joe Z's daughters.

Many thanks to Joe and the Saturday crew: Ray Burk, Peter Scherff, Tom Walker, Barry Hervieux, newcomer Will from Arlington (last name?) who helped me keep the cement flowing, and to DeeDee Pielock, Dan Carnevale, and Jonathan Klinkowski who mowed and did other things around the hill.

It was also nice seeing Bob Osgood now back on his feet and getting around pretty well.

I'm not sure Will knew what he was in for when Barry invited him up to Arunah to enjoy dark skies, but we sure appreciate his hard work. At least he had some great views of the summer Milky Way for his efforts.

Joe reports that the showers will be operational for the Boy Scouts camp out starting July 15.
