Announcements

On June 9th, 2010, the Montgomery County Open Spaces Board approved the designation of the major portion of our hallowed campgrounds as a permanent open space. Indian Ridge and other areas, except for Cassett Hill, will remain as a natural preserve. Many people participated in the 10-year long process to achieve this great goal. Special thanks to Uncle Herman Tannenbaum who spearheaded SGFVC participation.

SGFVC Board members toast the approval with cups of bug juice poured from an authentic SGF Mess Hall pitcher.

Update: December 29th, 2010. Moran Project Officially Closes.

Note from Uncle Herman Tannenbaum:  "I wanted to share with any and all of you that have cared enough to support this cause and effort. I can only say one thing….THANK YOU!!"
