Staff Lounge Dedicated in Memory of Laura Rourke

admin — Sat, 12 May 2012 11:10:16 +0000

On Saturday May 5, 2012 the new staff lounge was dedicated in memory of Laura Rourke. Laura was involved with SLMC in a variety of ways over the coarse of her life; camper, CILT, staff, board member, volunteer and donor. Most people will remember Laura as camp cook, physically and spiritually nourishing the campers, staff and volunteers with meals. This new staff lounge will serve as a place for staff to retreat to, a place for staff meetings , a place for worship and a place to eat leftovers on nights off while enjoying the company of friends. It is fitting that this new staff lounge, built in memory of Laura, will be a place where staff will gather to be nourished through the sharing of food and fellowship.

Staff Lounge project well underway!

This past weekend, Ed Enns and Andrew Rourke lead a crew of volunteers who braved the cold, wet weather to begin the 2 week building blitz for the staff lounge.

Leanne and I were at camp yesterday to meet with the contractor responsible for building the two new camper cabins. They look great! Walls are framed and wrapped. Next steps include building the porch structure and installing the windows and doors.

Thinking of the Unrau Family as they grieve the death and celebrate the life of a great Wife, Mother, Oma, Sister, Aunt and Friend. Erna will be fondly remembered by many people in the Silver Lake community.
