- Tradition continues today with the Pinesmen providing a wide range of support to LOP
- We do raise funds (which take Pinesmens' volunteer effort) but the money is turned back to the community in the form of donations, improvement projects, or community activities
� FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION---our most demanding activity of the year
� started as an LOP family picnic in 1986
� has grown to become a $24,000 annual event
� we run a raffle and arrange sponsors to help raise funds to help make the event happen
� we hire the fireworks company
� we arrange for and set up all the food and game booths
� hire entertainment
� coordinate the craft fair
� organize the staff for all the activities from setup to tear down
� generally, the Fourth of July event is a nearly break-even proposition
� as the event grows and more funds are available, the fireworks display is upgraded along with other activities
� the GOALS of the Fourth of July event are to have a fun event for the community and all our guests and to break even financially
