"WORK, WORK, WORK ..............OPENING DAY IN SIGHT!"

     The second pre-season work weekend is now history and our wonderful volunteers have prepared the House for the 125th Anniversary Season.  Under the leadership of property committee chair, Chuck Bolan, everything from cleaning curtains to preparing new colorful gardens is complete.

     We paused during the afternoon work session to attend Wayne Furman's Memorial Service at Hurlbut UM Church.  Wayne was a Chautauquan Fireman, Head Carpenter for the Institution and UM House Board Member.
