3. Renovation <br />Fencing was erected along the Point Charming cliff area and the <br />Point Charming latrine was renovated to meet appropriate standards. <br />A new pump was installed in the Camp well and the well head was im- <br />proved to state standards.

Camp Manager <br />A full time year around Camp manager, Mr. Mark Peterson, was hired <br />in Spring of 1988, and has worked diligently on -site to bring the <br />Camp to its current operational status. Mr. Peterson resides on the <br />Island during the summer months and provides fund-raising and support <br />activities during the winter months. (See attached news article) <br />5. Financial <br />The fund raising activities during 1988 were highly successful due ir, <br />large part to Board Treasurer, Mr. Stuart Gorney. Over $70,000.00 was <br />raised in 1988 with $30,000.00 denoted for building construction. Do- <br />nations allowed well impro-ements, a new outboard motor purchase, Camp <br />manager hiring and financed the entire process leading to Camp re -opening. <br />We are confident that the financial support shown by various veterans <br />posts signals a commitment to the continuation of Big Island as a vet- <br />erans camp.
