A Day of Service at Camp Hanover

Recently 17 members of Three Chopt Presbyterian Church spent the day at Camp Hanover "adopting" Knoxwood Lodge as their project. Adopting a building at Camp Hanover involves donating at least $500 toward the upkeep of the building and offering at least 50 hours of service. What a joy it was to have such a joyful and hard working crew swarm over Knoxwood, giving well over the requested 50 hours of labor. At the end of the day this group of volunteers had "wrapped" both porches in plastic to create a more energy efficient building for the winter; rewired, painted and rehung 12 fifty year old light fixtures; wired and hung two new ceiling fans on one porch (they've committed to returning and hanging two more fans on the other porch); painted two entire exterior walls of the lodge; and after all that work still left things clean and swept.

The Camp Hanover staff gives thanks for the fine job done by the Three Chopt service group.
