Giving Back – Part 3
March 28, 2008
After reading David Bowman’s blog about Giving Back and John Bostick’s, Giving Back continued, I felt the need to put in my two cents. LUCRUM is definitely committed to the community. I have seen this first hand in my three years here at LUCRUM. One fond memory of mine was in October 2006 when we combined our efforts and did a United Way Community Care Week project for the Boy Scouts. LUCRUM volunteers painted the Cub World structure at the Dan Beard Council Boy Scout Camp in Loveland, Ohio. We had LUCRUM employees and their family members volunteer to paint from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Everyone came to the camp with the assumption that the structure was just that a structure of some sort but we weren’t quite sure what it was. Imagine our surprise when we found out it was a very large cabin! Our job was to primer the cabin for the real painters to finish the job the following week. That didn’t discourage us. We were there to help and we certainly did. I have attached pictures for you to see the huge accomplishment. To this day, my daughter still talks about how she helped paint the largest cabin she has ever seen.

Got something to say?
I’m glad you put this out there, Kelly! I had completely forgotten about that day. It was a lot of hard work, but we actually had a lot of fun doing it- not to mention, a great sense of accomplishment. And your daughter was right… it was the biggest cabin known to man!
