Archambault Insurance helping out
WE DID IT! Sept. 20, a pledge to complete the renewal of Scarlett Oak with new siding, shutters, screens and vents was made at the Windham-Tolland 4-H Foundation.
This initiative started in early 2018 and this is the last of the 15 65-year-old overnight cabin renovations to be funded.
The first one completed was Sassafras in girls’ area sponsored by 4-H campers and Jewett City Savings Bank Foundation.
To keep costs down, Foundation Board members and volunteers from Archambault Insurance Group, Eversource, The Hartford Insurance Group, Savings Institute Bank, Otherworld LARP Group, and SPIROL International did the staining work when the cabins were completed, managing to have fun while still working hard.
White Spruce is being resided now and with pledges in hand for Eastern Hemlock and Scarlett Oak, they are on the schedule to be completed in the Spring of 2022
