 * May 7th 9:00- Build Pier**

__Thank you for all that helped May 7th!__ Including me, we had 4 scouts:Dalton, Steven, Taylor, And 4 adults: Mr Moss, Mr. Clark, Mr. Sanderson and Mrs. Jaworski My mom, Mrs. Sanderson, Patrick, and Caitlyn came and grilled us brats for lunch. My mom returned later for some last minute help. We met at the park at 9am, the goal was to build at least one pier. We were able to build both and put them in the water! It was a little tricky rolling the piers down the hill and getting them in the water.

I am tying to meet Mr. Collins on Wednesday to see if the pier meets his expectations and if there is anything he wants done. I feel like the pier is a little short and I am under-budget, so one of my suggestions is to add another length to the pier. I think with the extra money I have and Menards rebates, I have the funds to add it. Also, I know Mr. Collins would like the pavers put back around the pier, so I'll need a little landscaping help.

So plan right now is to continue with the work day scheduled for Saturday the 13th, Please consider signing up

 * April 23 10:00****- Plat****form railin****g, and landscaping**

__Thank you for all that helped April 23rd!__ Including me, we had 5 scouts: Joshua C, Steven, Kevin, Taylor, And 4 adults: Mr & Mrs Moss, Mr. Sanderson and Mr. Clark, and my sister, Caitlyn. Everyone met at the park at 10am, the goal was to build the railing and landscape. We leveled off the landscaping while my dad cut the sleeves for the post railings. We assembled the railings then secured them to the post. We finished the tasks by 12:30 and had lunch. Next step is to build the piers. I will also need some sod to add around the platform.

 * April 9th 9:00-remove old stars and begin new ramp**

__Thank you for all that helped April 9th!__ Including me, we had 6 scouts: Andy, Josh, Max, Steven & Aaron, And adults: Mr & Mrs Moss, Mr. Loewen, Mr. Matushek, Mr. Sanderson and Mr. Pecore and my sister, Caitlyn. We were able to accomplish a ton! Andy, Josh Max, Steven, Mr. Loewen, Mr. Sanderson and Mr. Matushek and my family came at 9am. We were able to remove the old stair case quickly. We built the outside of frame of the new platform and then broke for lunch. Aaron and Mr. Pecore came around 11:30. We finished the frame and the helpers started to leave between 1:30-3:00. Except for the Pecores, we stayed and finished the floor of the platform ending around 5. My mom and sister left at 11, and returned at 4. It was a long day, but the weather was great and the time went fast. Next step, April 23, will be completing the platform by adding the railings and back-filling the dirt that we dug up around the frame.
