Project List for the Day of Witahemui

Brothers,

As you know, Mowogo will not have a normal Spring Fellowship event. Instead, we are holding a separate induction and work day events to keep our attendance within covid-19 guidelines.

Our spring Day of Witahemui (day of service) will by held on Saturday, March 27. More information is available on our mowogo.org website.

In order to prepare for this day of service, our project team has compiled a list of essential projects needed to begin preparing Camp Rainey Mountain for the summer camp season. Please find this list below.

It would be ideal if Mowogo Chapters would individually take ownership for each of these projects. However, if you are an individual or a group of workers attending separately from a Chapter, please let us know on which project you would like to participate. As this list has not been uploaded to the online Project List, please contact us via email to projects@mowogo.org in order to request ownership or indicate your help for a project. Your contact emails will be returned individually to help coordinate for our work day.

Thank you in advance for your service.

Day of Witahemui - March 27, 2021

Because of limited funding available in 2021, projects will be mostly limited to the infrastructure and maintenance that affect the Summer Camp Programs and the overall fitness of the Camp. Although these Projects are few, they are all important in the function and the fitness of Camp Rainey Mountain.

Most of the platforms are already levelled but need to be jacked up and concrete blocks on all 4 corners and in the middle of the platforms in the front and sides to prevent sagging. There should be one platform in the campsite that will be the standard guide to go by. Tools needed are bottle jacks, other types of hydraulic jacks, shovels, mattock, levels, screws should be used to further repair wooded frames in need of repairs.
