Art -- you bet it is! (I'll try to arrive early enough to get some...)

Jerry -- Sinners are allowed in ALL workshops. Otherwise, none of us could go to any of them.

PLEASE NOTE that we will be asking folks to sign up for specific tasks this year. Many long years ago, when we did our own cooking (no longer possible), each camper was required to sign up for two hours of (mostly kitchen) work. We no longer need that level of commitment, BUT in order to avoid the problem of the same people doing everything, AND to make sure the necessary tasks are accomplished, we will ask everyone who doesn't already have to a job (auction ladies, you already have jobs -- thanks!) to sign up to do a specific chore at a specific time. Many of these jobs won't even take a whole hour to complete, but they ARE important! Stuff like making sure the snack-and-drink table in the Retreat Center is stocked and clean, helping to set up/clean up after the midnight snacks, manning the registration table -- stuff like that.

Sounds like we'll have a lot of new folks this year, in addition to a whole bunch of old friends. Hooray!
