Another year, and another Kinus (two actually). We had a wonderful time, and I've posted the photos of the Kinus on our Facebook page. I'll be creating a gallery here in a few days. You can go to our Gallery link and see pictures from our previous Kinusim.

However, the Kinus is too big for one man to capture, so we need your help. Please send your photos to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , and I'll post them here, or feel free to post these photos on our Facebook group.

The two Kinusim were wonderful and exciting with millions of activities and lots and lots of fun.

I'd like to take the time to thank all the people who made it possible:

• The Kinus Committee who sat there and planned the whole thing for months and months. They spent hundreds of hours and lots of their own money to make this year's Kinusim the best ever.
• The kitchen staff. Their work started weeks before the Kinusim. They had to buy, prepare, and transport the food to Camp Nobebosco. Then, instead of enjoying all the activities, they spent their whole time preparing one meal after another. As we were chowing down breakfast, they were busy working on lunch. When we gobbled down lunch, they got started with supper preparations. During supper, they were busy slicing bagles and preparing cream cheese for the next day's breakfast. And, each and every one was a volunteer.
• The parents who lent us their expertise to help lead the various sessions.
• The older scouts who spent their time teaching the younger scouts the skills they need.
• All the other scouts whose thorough enjoyment made the whole thing worth while. Plus, they helped us get rid of all that food.

Thanks everyone for attending. Hope to see you next year. Meanwhile, the Kinus committee is already starting to plan the 2011 Kinusim. It's going to be the best one yet.
