Camp McFadden
workday set for
Saturday at Kaw Lake
Ponca City OK- Volunteers are rallying this
Saturday, Feb. 21, for the first of several clean-up
days at Camp McFadden, just east of Ponca City
on Kaw Lake
"We hope to get started and then see when we
can schedule another day,” said board president
Ben Cavett.
Projects the group will tackle include cleaning
and sanitizing kitchen cabinets, mopping floors,
cleaning restrooms, cleaning light fixtures, clean-
ing windows, and cleaning ovens. Repairs needed
include the lodge roof, lawn mower belt replace
and oil changed, drywall in the restrooms, cover-
ing broken or missing windows, replacing floor-
ing and improv ing drainage.
"In addition we have general clean-up like
mowing, picking up trash, moving picnic tables,
sweeping outbuildings, and trimming trees," said
Howard Wilson, who is helping to coordinate the
days activities. ‘'Cleaning supplies, rags, useable
dish cloths, multi-surface cleaner, paper towels,
toilet paper, and 9-volt batteries for smoke detec-
tors are supplies we could use.”
Volunteers who would be interested should
arrive anytime from 9 am to I pm. They should
come dressed warmly. Head Country Bar-B-Q will
be providing lunch for volunteer workers in addi-
tion, volunteers need to bring their own water or
soft drinks.
■‘We’ll provide the tools to do the work, but if
you have tools or supplies to do any of these jobs
it’s appreciated,” said Cavett. “We’re also look-
ing for local business people who are willing to
donate in-kind services."
Anyone interested in volunteering to help this Sat-
urday or subsequent workdays can phone Sharon
Moreau at 580-765-5322 or Chery I Cavett at 580-
762-8684.
