WEEK 1 – Lily Weekend, June 4-6, 2010.  The weekend retreat was a great success! Bill Woodruff did an outstanding job coordination the group.  We were happy to have Michael Lassiter back with us again this summer.  Joining us for their first time at camp were Joe Finkel, Anna Finkel and Pat Goodman.   We had an excellent canoe trip on Saturday and spent the day floating down the Cahaba River.  Robert Hay and several others joined us for part of the day and we appreciate Mr. Johnson for letting us stop at his place for lunch.
