Groundbreaking for Eaglecrest Lodge

On Sunday afternoon, we headed out to Inspiration Hills to participate in the groundbreaking for the new Eaglecrest Lodge. I serve on the Board of Directors for Inspiration Hills and am very excited about this new building that will help carry out the mission of being a place where people can come to know and grow in Christ.  This lodge is being built to meet the needs of groups who want private rooms and want the option of providing their own meals.  It will have 17 rooms and can house 3 different groups on 3 different floors, each with their own kitchen or kitchenette and meeting rooms. It will be a terrific addition to the awesome facilities, so start thinking about booking a family reunion, meeting, or retreat! The new lodge should be ready by Spring/Summer 2011. Visit the Inspiration Hills website for floorplans, information, and a way to donate to this campaign if you feel so led. The Hills are Alive!

The footing have already been poured and it's awesome to see our vision taking shape! 

The first group included the Building & Grounds manager, the co-chair of the Campaign Foundation/first Board President, the current President of the Board, and the Camp Director.

Next, members of the board and Campaign Foundation took a turn.

Here is Corky making fun of my weak attempt to dig.

Laurie is showing me how it's done.

 

 Even Ryan got a chance to dig!
