Welcome to fall,
We are now officially in the fall season with Halloween right around the corner. Hope all is going well for you!
Life at Asto Wamah at this time of year is usually very quiet; however, this year has been a bit different. As you may remember, the basketball court was resurfaced in June to replace the old, broken up one. Well, now the entire A-field has been dug up! There will be no more holes, rocks, or bumps. The field has been graded so that it is now smooth and flat. Grass seeds have been planted and by mid-June, the A-field will be green and lush. The logs have been raised so seating is more comfortable and not so close to the dirt. Both the running long jump and standing jump areas are now clearly defined with wooden frames and will provide us with more of a “regulation” area for our Track Meet during two-week sessions. We will post pictures in the next Blog. We use the A-Field so many hours each day and for many different activities. We look forward to this improvement and think you will enjoy it!
Between Hurricane Florence and last Tuesday’s 8 inches of rain, Columbia Lake is overflowing. The dam is now open to allow the excess water to run off. At this point, it appears that there will be no worry that the lake will be low next summer.
In October, information about the dates and fees for the 2019 season will be announced. STAY TUNED!
Hope your memories of the past summer are still vivid and make you smile!
Our best to you all,
Catherine, Chris, Jen, and Nancy
