Each fall Club members head to our Vermont Lodge and tackle all sorts of improvement projects and repairs. Every year the highlight of "Work Weekend" is the fabulous meal prepared for our crew of hard workers!
Work Weekend 2007
Club members spent two weekends tackling over 30 projects. Our Ski Room workbench was tidied and one of our provisional members constructed a new bench, giving us a convenient place to sit & put on our boots. The upstairs bathroom repairs were completed and the walls repaired & repainted. All of our emergency lights were inspected. (A power outage over the 2nd work weekend gave us a chance to see which ones were out!) The lodge also received a good cleaning. Thanks to everyone who came up & volunteered their time to make everything ready for another season!
Work Weekend October 2006
Work Weekend 2006 lasted for several weekends as over 25 members took on a variety of improvement projects. Major renovations were done downstairs to reconfigure the space, providing access to the former men's dorm bathroom by all the lower level rooms. The old, wooden bunks continued to be dismantled & replaced with modern metal bunk beds. A new trash bin was constructed and the window sills in the bedrooms & kitchen were replaced. The outside doors, deck, railing, outdoor windows and downstairs bathroom received fresh coats of paint. The fireplace was re-grouted and the winter's wood delivery was neatly stacked & covered. The dining room tables were re-covered and the bedrooms were spruced up with new curtains. The kitchen sink and refrigerator ice maker were repaired and all the kitchens and bathrooms received a thorough cleaning. Many members have continued adding to our "wall art" with donations of framed ski posters and trail maps. The workers enjoyed our traditional, hearty "Work Weekend Dinner" in recognition of all their hard work!
