To: KL Barnett <kerri@saratogasprings.com>

Hello Friends of Saratoga Springs, I hope this finds you and your loved ones safe and well. Saratoga Springs is still closed but we are getting visitors from AirBnB which is helping a little bit toward keeping us solvent until we can reopen next year. With that in mind, I am reaching out to you, who are with our legacy groups, to ask if you could please reach out to your groups.

We are needing brush clearing behind our cabins to avoid a $35,000 “brush charge” from our insurance company. We have been making headway, but with only one staff member working and Jason off on sabbatical, we definitely need some help.

We would like to offer 4-5 people at a time 1-2 night’s lodging and meals to work 2-3 days cutting and clearing brush at Saratoga Springs.

The hot tub will be on, the air is beautiful and crisp and vibe is mellow and nurturing. We provide COVID-19 compliant facilities. I

f we could get 2-3 work parties over a week or so, it could really make a big difference. We are looking to try to do this in the next two weeks if possible. We know it is a small window, but we just learned that our appeal was denied and they are coming to reinspect our progress so far.

Could you please see what you can do?

You have always been so supportive of SS and we so appreciate you.

Thank you for your help, in advance.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Please send this to anyone you think may be interested. Kerri will be the contact for this.

Thank you again, Kerri, Jason, Chas and all of the Staff of Saratoga Springs Retreat Center

cute! that sounds like fun hard work. this weekend is @able-vr-31152 (@bland-battery-44304?)’s birthday, and next weekend is Zoom service, so I’m not sure it will work out, but if folks pick a time, I’m down to request vacation for it!

Can I forward this to a friend who knows SS folks and used to live at Cosmic Honey?

This sounds awesome! I'd join if others were going. I don't think @able-vr-31152 has anything birthday related planned for this weekend.

bike riding this weekend!

I'm so down to go up to Saratoga the weekend after Zoom service... do you think it'll be too late?

@able-vr-31152 I just emailed Kerri. Will report back!

@clean-army-21719 of what bike riding do you speak?
