Menno Haven Work Day

The next scheduled Work Day is Saturday April 22, 2023.

Gather at Lakeview Lodge Dining Hall for a light breakfast before heading off in teams to work on the morning projects.  

Gather for lunch at noon at the Dining Hall. Projects will continue after lunch until around 4 pm. Come for all or part of the day.  

 Menno Haven depends on, and greatly appreciates, the hard work of volunteers like you to keep our 231 acres of sanctuary looking great!

​Join us for a time of fellowship, working, helping, and eating together! This is a family friendly event with a little something for everyone in your family and/or congregation.
