Helping Hand

The events of 9/11/2001 are forever seared in the minds of all Americans.   There are many ways that people continue to remember that day.  At The Hartford Insurance Company, they have chosen it to be one of their biggest Days of Caring of the year.   A cheerful, energetic group of six spent the day at the Windham-Tolland 4-H camp cleaning and painting the beautiful but neglected Nature Lodge.   Steve Curry, chairman of the Ragged Hill Woods program at the camp, had everything ready for the crew.  By the end of the day, furniture had been moved outside and cleaned, the inside of the lodge and windows were washed, the floor was scrubbed and painted and the entire outside of the building was stained.  The transformation was amazing.  Members of the all-volunteer 4-H Foundation members do much of the property maintenance on a volunteer basis to keep tuition costs as low as possible for summer campers.
