Press release from Frost Valley YMCA (PROPS for putting together multimedia press releases while stranded & cut off from the world!):
"Hur r icane Ir ene Relief Needed at Fr ost Valley YMCA
Claryville, NY—On August 28, 2011, Hurricane Irene caused an overwhelming amount of destruction to Frost Valley YMCA and the water wrecked havoc on our camp and conference center. Currently there is no access by road to Frost Valley and we do not have an estimated timeline on when the road will be accessible. We will communicate when we know more.
Entire roads and bridges were washed away. One of our historic buildings, Pigeon Lodge, was engulfed by water and shattered beyond repair. Trees were down and buildings filled with water. We have started to clean up but it will be many weeks before we will see the full effects of this storm.
As the staff work to get the camp up and running, the Executive Leadership Team and the Board of Directors are focused on the many financial steps that must be addressed to start the rebuilding of Frost Valley. We are seeking donations through our website of www.frostvalley.org/relieffund. We will be announcing other help needed as we get a better idea of the damage.
