Greetings from the beautiful Jumonville mountaintop. As I write this, the snow has just started to melt during this past week. Some reports said that we had between 80 to 100 inches of snow this year in the month of February alone.

All of that snow made for some gorgeous photos but it did cause some retreat cancellations and gave our poor maintenance staff non-stop snow removal for weeks in a row. To see some of those beautiful photos, check out the Jumonville photo blog at www.jumonville.wordpress.com. New Jumonville photos are posted almost every day.

If you are using Facebook, we’d love to have you join our Jumonville Camp and Retreat Center Fan Page. We have posted some of those winter photos there, plus we’re having fun touching base with lots of our Jumonville family. We are also adding events as well as movies and lots of photos to our fan page. Check it out and you may find some of your Jumonville friends who have already joined.

Many have sent compliments on the new look and design for our Under the Cross newsletter. We always appreciate input for improvement. We are also doing a slight redesign of our Jumonville website to make it even more user friendly. We’d love to hear what you think of the new design. It should be ready between mid April to early May.

Larry Beatty,
Jumonville President

P.S. If you have a digital photo of yourself or your family that you are willing to share, email it to larry@jumonville.org. We love seeing photos of our family members!
