Sad News...Sparky, the camp cat has died.

Sad news...Sparky, Ms Val and Mr. Terry's camp cat died today from heart failure. Sparky was known as the "doggy kitty" as she would follow Ms. Val around camp when she locked up at the end of a weekend group. One time, Ms. Val was playing hide and seek with the campers and Sparky gave her hiding place away. The campers said, "LOOK, there's Sparky. I bet Ms. Val is hiding near here." Sure enough, there I was, trying to convince Sparky to leave or come hide with me. I was found!

Tomasina and Chester are still keeping Ms. Val and Mr. Terry company at Elliott House.

Happy Halloween!

Elliott House, the Director's House decorated for Halloween. It looks REALLY spooky at night!

Elliott House was acquired for the House In the Wood Director to use last November. This is the first part of a master plan to get House In the Wood ready to serve future generations. The Director's House makes us able to compete in the future for a top-notch Director to oversee House In the Wood. Elliott House is just down Bay Road from House In The Wood--about a five minute walk. Watch this blog for news about our upcoming building plans.

Elliott House was made possible by a generous donation from Mike and Kathy  Elliott.
