[AT] Successful Workday

[Gene Dotson]

    We had a successful work day at Portland on Saturday with approximately 
60 volunteers. Four members from A.T.I.S. attended to help with the 
different jobs. Steve Sewell and brothers Larry and Gary joined me in the 
tree trimming tasks. Other jobs was painting the bridges, installing some of 
the planned electrical service, Painting barn roof and flooring repair in 
some of the minor buildings. Ground was too wet to install new electric 
poles to be needed, but some new service was put in.

    Was a nice time getting to know the new officers and directors and 
reacquainting with the existing ones. We are assured of our same camping 
area as last year. Doug Tallman also showed up with a crew of 3 to assure 
that his antique gardes tractor group has an area together. Glad I was able 
to help, Doug.

    Had a great dinner at Ponderosa, then returned to finish the last few 
details, then in home to get in a couple hours mowing grass since we had a 
couple rainless days.

    Looking forward to seeing a lot of you there and filling up the 
campground.
