2012 Alumni Association Construction Project: See letter below pictures!

Due to construction limitation and rules and regulations, a new Buckets of Blood will not be constructed. The building was going to cost in excess of $90,000 and I just didn't feel right spending those kinds of funds on a building that would only house 4 individuals. Therefore, the existing Buckets of Blood will be freshened, and stabilized. No bathrooms will be added....just a cleanup will be done. Your Alumni Association tried and tried to get the building built, but there were just too many stumbling blocks and regulations that needed to be met. If you have donated to this project and wish to have your funds returned, please contact me immediately. We will use some of the funds collected on the existing building. We are not sure how much, but the building does need some work. Thanks to all of you that have donated, your love and dedication to camp has been a wonderful thing. I'm sorry that I was unable to fulfill the promise I made to all of you and for that.... I apologize. ed levy, president.
