:funn: Yes, the group was eager to announce that they had funn with JessiFunn.Hey guys! I was the other leader for the Alternative Spring Break trip and I just wanted to say thanks for all of your support! We had a great time down there. You should all go check out Eden State Gardens to see what we worked on. We built a trail that overlooks some water (okay, it's a swamp but it's really pretty), we wrestled bamboo (it's exotic.. if you want to take some home, I don't think Eden would mind at all), some of the participants built a bridge, and others removed those pesky stumps on the trails that everyone keeps tripping over.
By the way, that pizza restaurant was great--I've never eaten so much pizza in one sitting before. It was amazing, really.
We apparently got on the news on Thursday night, but we didn't have a TV at Camp Helen so we still haven't seen it. We did find the TV station's recap of it online though: Students Use Spring Break for Volunteerism
This was my third year doing this trip and it's sad to think that I'll be graduating and won't be returning next March to hang out with the rangers and cool alumni who feed us (and have their kids put on shows for us). Here are some pictures of us (I think.. I have no idea if it's gonna work right).
Thanks again for being such an awesome community!

Cat, hope your last day was a restful one, and your Alternative Spring Break was one you will remember forever. I enjoyed meeting you all and sharing dinner with you guys. Tell Lori to email her mailing address to me and I will mail her a cd with the photos.
Glad you made it on the news. On Wed night, after our dinner, I emailed a long message regarding you guys to the director at Channel 13 News in Panama City. I never received a reply and watched for the story on Thursday's evening news and Friday's morning news, but never saw one, so I thought they failed in getting out to Eden Gardens. I told them that you guys deserved as much or more face time on the news as all of the drunks in Panty Bra City Beach, including the drunk girl who fell off the railing at a motel. I am glad to see that you at least received a little press.
Perhaps you and Lori will pass to the torch to capable hands, and I will get to host a larger group for dinner next year. It would be great if we could provide dinners for the group for every night of the week during your stay in return for all of the physical labor that you guys put forth, volunteering in our back yard.
Thanks again, and best of luck in the future. You guys are a great bunch. If any of you need/want summer jobs in this area, just send me an email. ;-) I can hook you up.
