We need to assist in getting Camp Tippy ready for the Summer ’08 Season. Due to the illness of our resident Camp Manager, Max Scott, who is being treated for cancer and is unable to get many of the jobs done, FBC Muncie has scheduled the weekend of May 16-18 to go be the hands and feet of not only Max Scott, but of Jesus. Come for one day or two days or the whole weekend. Shirley Pittenger & Marianne Tooley will plan and fix our meals. Call David Jones at 284-7749 or Shirley Pittenger at 282-0632 if you have questions.

Here’s the long list of things that Tippy Needs Done:

1. Clean out lean-to (shed by Shop)
2. Electricians to run new power supplies to cabins.
3. Electricians to install lines & duplexes for water heaters.
