As a culture, as a tribe, as a nation, the Oswegatchie community has been tremendously supportive in all our efforts!
The 2013 short list includes:
- 713 campers making it to Oswegatchie for a great summer camp program.
- 47 weekends a year being booked in Sutliff Lodge.
- 100 students attending ELPs in November
- The construction of Foster Lodge which was spurred on by teacher contributions in dollars and volunteer labor.
- The major sponsor ship of the building by Daryle Foster who in turn will receive naming rights for the building.
- And every drop of financial and sweat equity
Many of you remember the depressing days of fiscal and physical ruin Oswegatchie experienced in the past. It has been your contributions that ended those days. Now we move further into a promising future!
The Season of Giving!
As we enter the Christmas season, we would like to share with you our list of needs we have organized.
We are prioritizing 3 specific wood working tools needed for projects in Sutliff. These 3 items range from $300 to $400, and can be picked up by us at Home Depot. Without adding extra pressure on these donations, this is ideal for a chapter or small organization interested in making a charitable purchase.
