Dear Campers,
Camp is just around the corner and preparations will soon be underway for this year's campmeeting. This year has been one of those years that we have struggled with natural destruction. Since last encampment, we have had three trees fall and cause damage to our facility. One fell directly on the front of the dorm and caused a considerable amount of damage. The roof was repaired, but the mess it caused inside has yet to be cleaned up and the ceiling repaired.
The second tree fell on the right corner of the J & J building. The roof was damaged along with a window or two. The third tree fell beside the dorm and ripped the powerline away from the building. New supply lines for the two meters have been installed at camp expense. They are now ready for the power company to come and tie us back into power.
We have had the finances to pay for these expenses, but they have depleted the money we use to prepare for camp. These expenses consist of brochure printing and mailing, liability insurance, and food bought to begin camp.
Now, with those expenses, we have one other that is very much needed for us to begin camp this year. The girl's dorm was being prepped for a bathroom renovation when the first tree hit. The money that could have been used for the renovation had to be given for the repair. The renovation will consist of two large water heaters(which are connected to the girl's and boy's bathrooms), two commodes, two sinks along with the walls that will divide the bathrooms from the sleeping area. The floor also needs to be replaced in the bathroom area. And I will mention again, the ceiling in the front of the dorm needs to be repaired.
This is not my favorite part of the job, soliciting funds, but to continue we must do what is needed to carry on the work that was started back in 1940. God has been faithful to provide through those who have been impacted by Brasher Springs Camp Meeting. I humbly ask you to consider helping us with these needs.
Sincerely,
Wesley Johnson
