New Life at Koinonia

I discovered this little guy on the patio behind the Sumac Lodge on Tuesday afternoon. He must have been taking a break while his momma went grazing.

We're not sure how old he is, fawns are normally born during the last weeks in May or in early June.

Harley Wilson, our Koinonia Property Manager, took the picture.

Koinonia and the Hennepin Recyclers

Hennepin Recyclers at Koinonia

The Hennepin Recyclers replaced the picnic table tops and benches at Koinonia on May 20th and 27th. Lead by Art Smith and Bill Pilgram, and joined by Jim Talle, Jim Soltau, Lee Carlson, Tom Wilson, and Carl Sundeen the recyclers actually completed the picnic table project the second time. The first time was in 1994 just three years after the Recyclers formed at Hennepin. The new cedar tables look stunning on Koinonia’s brand new deck, located just outside the dining room and overlooking beautiful Lake Sylvia.
The Recyclers gather every Wednesday afternoon to work where they are needed at Hennepin. Some of the projects at Hennepin the recyclers have taken on include the original accessibility ramp, numerous storage projects, library shelving, and lots of painting.

In addition to those already named Fred Blaisdell, Clarence Vogel and Tom Ludlow regularly attend on Wednesday afternoons when they are able.

The Hennepin Recyclers are a living legacy of deceased Hennepin member Howard Shenohon who orgainized the group in 1991.
