Opening Day - January 2, 2013

We are opening the Broome Hut to the public on January 2nd 2013!

We need your help to move some heavy stuff - Batteries!  Don't want to pay for a gym membership but want a great work out? No problem, Grand Huts has a great project for you! We need your help to carry 80 pound batteries up to the Broome Hut. We will be meeting at the trail head at 9 am on Saturday December 22nd. A strong back is necessary. Also helpful is a frame pack or a good pulk type sled. If you don't have a frame pack and need to borrow one, email Broomehutvolunteers@gmail.com to request one.  Think of this hard work as a good way to earn credits for eating more Christmas cookies! We are almost finished but could still use volunteers for the finishing touches! We are putting the finishing touches on the hut  could still use your help! To volunteer, simply show up on site between 9 am - 4:30 any day of the week. Remember, for every 8 hours that you volunteer, you get a free night stay at the hut.  Thank you! A big THANK YOU must go out to everyone that came out to the Lions club's ninth annual Festival of Trees fundraiser!  Volunteers:  WE NEED YOUR HOURS!      Since our last e-blast, only 16 volunteers out 316 have submitted their hours! We are getting ready to launch both our public reservation system as well as our volunteer reservation system to reserve the hut. For volunteers, we need to collect your hours as soon as possible and before the reservation system launches. We expect to launch the volunteer reservation system shortly (the latest will be on Dec. 17th). Please compile the dates and hours you worked and  email them to: Broomehutvolunteers@gmail.com It will be cross checked with the records from the hut. After your total hours have been confirmed you will be invited to make reservations.  Check our Facebook page for quick updates The Grand Huts Facebook page is frequently updated with not only photos and media but also last minute changes to the volunteer schedule.
