Welcome Back! The Camp Committee has a great season planned for you. Here is a summary of a few major projects that have been completed since last season.
A Field Bathrooms have been remodeled and spruced up.
A well was dug and installed for the A Field Bathroom and the water spigots in that area of camp. One more well is planned for the big parking lot after this season which will supply the Cicero Bathroom and water spigots in that area of camp.
The new playground equipment was purchased and installed and is already a hit with the Turner kids! Big thanks to Amy Oatey for seeing a need and raising funds toward a solution with the Turner Trot. We are also very blessed to have received significant donations from National Endowment & Trust Fund, the ATNY Fund of New York Turners, Bocci Ball, and Tuna. Look for the dedication coming on Founders Day!
The new Froggy sprinkler is being installed in the baby pool to help keep future Turner Kids cool in the summer.
Restaurant – the first Fish Fry is June 1. We have a number of menu changes we think you’ll like. For the Fish Fry we’ve added baked Salmon to the every Friday menu. For Friday and Saturday grill we’ve added a new healthy choice Turkey Burger, plain or with cheese. We’ve also added a few new appetizers, Cheese Curds, Cheddar Bacon Jalapeno Poppers, and Honey Sricha Cheese Sticks. No specials on June 2, but on June 9 don’t miss Lydia Hodor’s Polish Kielbasa, Pierogies, and Kapusta.
Thank you – Scott Lau
Memorial Swimming Pool Fundraiser - A big thank you for all the volunteers that helped with our Fundraiser. I don’t have totals of amount raised yet but turnout was pretty good considering it was the first weekend of activity.
Thank you to Ross Hugi and Dave Z for donating their tip money from Bar. Also thanks to Donna Litza and Dave Z for cooking delicious chicken dinner.
Our funds need to plan for the day when major repairs or replacement are needed. I Look forward to next year and more fun for opening weekend at Camp. Barb Z
