Hi,
All volunteer positions for the 3 Day Build have been filled. Of course, if you want to come out and assist with some other maintenance duties around the camp, you are most welcome - but you still have to register, just be aware you probably will not be working on the new cabin. (Better yet, come out and deliver a significant donation!!)
Don't forget to attend the volunteer session on Monday night...more info in the "Volunteer News" posting below.

Safety First
Hey! Guess What?
The Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association has selected the LBC 3DB as a key project. Not only will this provide for additional safety consciousness at the site, there is a free Safety Training certification course offer. This class will take about 3.5 hours to complete...call SCSA at 525-0175 for information or to register for one of the following spots allocated for LBC. There will be two groups each day 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Spots are limited, so please register early: Each of May 26-28, May 31 and June 1.
The certification will be good for a 3 year period.
PS. Don't forget the volunteer night on Monday May 31 (see next post)

Volunteer News
In preparation for the 3 day build, all volunteers are requested to attend a very important meeting on Monday, May 31st at 7PM at Eastside United Church, Regina. (3018 Doan Drive, just off Arcola Avenue East). It is in the Living Spirit Centre.
Build Coordinator, John Robinson, will be providing very crucial information about the build schedule, hour by hour for the three days and will be presenting the volunteer teams and captains.
It is important that you attend to understand the build schedule. Kinda like choreography of the Ballet For Hammers! (?? hmm, I have to get a better metaphor ! Any suggestions?)

Great News!
We have had a fantastic week of fundraising (1 down, 4 to go!) and have topped $40,000 in contributions. Listen to some the comments:
"In memory of Herman Pohl, a man of character who would have been inspired by this dream"
"I was in the Young People Union group that re-opened LBC after the 2nd World War, so I think it should continue to open"
Donations are from far and wide: Regina, Saskatoon and even Ottawa. WOW!
So far, 18 individuals or groups have donated $1000 or more and scores of individuals have offered contributions of cash and donated material and labour. (All donations are eligible for a tax receipt.)
Look out June 3...here comes the 3 Day Build!
