-------- Activity Write-up --------
Adopt-A-Block program with Mosaic

Mosaic Outdoor Club of Houston has adopted the "block" in front of the JCC from Chimney Rock to Hillcroft. Our first clean up was April 29. What a success! Nine dedicated and energetic people participated. You don't realize the amount of litter on our streets and bayous until you set out to clean them! We felt proud after looking down the Bayou to find the previously trash covered banks to be litter free! Many walkers and bikers stopped to thank us, and people in cars honked and waved as they drove by. Several people asked who we are and why we were cleaning up. At the end of our day, 19 bags of trash were collected and disposed of. Come join us next time for our Adopt-A-Block clean up sponsored by the Keep Houston Beautiful campaign.

DETAILS	Five Days of Adventure in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia! Welcome to Wild Wonderful West Virginia - host state of the 11th Annual Mosaic National Event. Last year over 200 people had a fabulous time in Maine. This year we will be taking over Camp Emma Kaufmann in Morgantown, WV. This is the Pittsburgh JCC camp. We will be staying in lovely cabins located on a beautiful large scenic lake about an hour south of Pittsburgh (tent camping is available for those who prefer). The camp has a kosher kitchen and rumors abound that some of the best camp food you will ever taste comes out of it! This year's "unique to the area" activity is caving! West Virginia and western Pennsylvania have an amazing array of caverns. We will be exploring Laurelwood Cavern; Your choice of a paved well lit guided tour, or spelunking by foot with headlamps and helmets in the more rugged section. Other exciting trips include white-water rafting and rock climbing for all levels. Of course there will be the daily assortment of hikes to choose from, along with biking, canoeing, ropes courses, and lots, lots, more! Many activities are limited to a certain number, so register early to guarantee you spot. Evening activities feature nightly campfires, Shabbat & havdallah services, leadership training, chapter skits, and presentations by Mosaic Members on a variety of outdoor topics of interest. Come meet other Jewish people who, like yourself, enjoy nature and the outdoors! You won't be disappointed.
