Our program on 3/20 was a presentation by Marnie Wells, one of our former members. She is the director of the Campfire Minnesota organization. She updated us on the status of Camp Tanadoona, located near the Arboretum on Lake Minnewashta. The camp is being updated, renovated, and improved in a two-phase plan.
 
Phase one of the plan is completed. It included updating/building safer and more modern rustic cabins for the overnight campers, revising the land use in the area, changing the entrance to the camp, and adding some activities. The second phase will include major changes to the camp’s central part, and the present main building/dining hall will be replaced by a modern administration building with dining and meeting facilities, and a central court.
 
Marnie tells us that 2.5 million of the 4.1 million dollars needed to complete the second phase has already been collected. When the work is done, it will be done in the “off-season”, so the camping schedule will not be interrupted.
 
STRIVE on Thursday, April 5th is the Evaluation of this year’s program at MHS in the Writing Lab at 9:00 with Dick Glover presiding.
