Camp Pellissippi

If you have not been to Camp Pellissippi lately, you need to plan a trip. Ranger Rick King and his loyal group of volunteers are hard at work making what was old, new again. The newest jewel is going to be a new campmaster cabin. The campmaster program is another posting on its own so I won't go into that here. The cabin is the important item. The estate of Fred W. Bruce left a $63,000 gift to build a cabin in memory of his wife, Anna Mary. Construction will begin soon. Here is a drawing of the cabin:

Bikers for Scouts

If you happen to be a biker ( the motor type, not the pedal type), the 1st Annual Camp Pellissippi Benefit Ride will be held this weekend. This is a fund-raiser ride to help fund expanding the electrical service to unserviced areas at Camp Pellissippi. The ride starts at 8:00 on Saturday, May 3, 2008 from Tommy's Motor Sports at I-75 and Exit 122 or 2401 Andersonville Highway. Entry is $15 for a single, $20 for a double, and T-shirts are $10. Lunch will be provided and there will be door prizes and a silent auction.
