Fire Mountain Service Project - Building structures and friendships
Thirteen Rotarians and friends ventured to Fire Mountain BSA camp to help with construction on The Beach, the camp's swimming area. Joined by carpenters from CIA (Carpenters In Action, a volunteer group), the group ferried out equipment and supplies out to the swim platform to build the second story to the structure. Devin Brossard figured out ways to keep Brad Kihm stable on a raft while using power tools while Duane Rhodes, Craig Chase, Fitz Couhig, Joe (from BSA) and Josh Dowdy (nephew of Linda Byrnes) worked together to install the large beams.
Jim Kelly and his daughter, Jeff Huleatt, Dave Duskin, Victoria Dowdy(Linda Byrnes' niece) and Karri Hansen worked on shore along with the carpenters. Gene Chase came up to view the progress and help with a BBQ lunch. It was a day filled with sunshine, good work, and great conversation with another volunteer organization.
