May 23-29

The Memorial Day holiday has long been designated as a work party weekend at Indralaya. This year just over 50 work party participants arrived and helped with a wide array of jobs around the camp. Many thanks to all who were here!

Naomi & Rachel

Among those attending were Indralaya moms Naomi Desranleau and Rachel Erickson, who came with their children Eames (4 months) and Bella (just over 1 year old) - Eames' first visit and Bella's 2nd - the next generation of Indralaya in the making.

Great food was served up by the kitchen crew all weekend, including this batch of Sunday morning pancakes.

Study Group potluck

Earlier in the week, the Orcas Study Group gathered in the dining hall for their end of the season potluck. The study group meets at Indralaya on Wednesdays from September-May. This past year was a good one, as interest in exploring theosophical ideas and concepts was strong throughout the year. Over the course of the year, participation in the group increased significantly, with many intriguing presentations and discussions.

The bird houses that were built earlier in the Spring (see the April 4-10 entry) have attracted their first residents! After several weeks of watching and waiting, a pair of Violet-green Swallows moved in over the weekend and began to build their nest.
