Activities Blog. We hope that you find
it helpful in figuring out what is happening at Winter Ranch. If you forget a time or a place for an activity,
you can find it right here. Mary Benfield in Lot 740 is the Blog Administrator. She would love to hear from any of you Group Leaders for all the crafts so that the blog page would have the information you want it to have. Please contact her either at Lot 740 or by e-mailing her at blogwinterranch@yahoo.com.

Our volunteers are outstanding. If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t be able to
offer all the activities that we do and we wouldn’t be able to keep the costs
down for those activities. We are always
looking for new volunteers. Check out
those volunteer opportunities in the Current Information Section of this blog.
