Maho Bay Camps items
From today's email:
As a new year approaches, I must face up to closing Maho this coming May 15, 2013. As you have noticed on past visits, through the Trash To Treasure program, the Help Yourself Center, and our energy and water saving efforts, I abhor waste. At Maho's closing, I will have to dispose of over 500 mattresses, mattress protectors, pillows, blankets, chairs, etc. and over 100 tables, camp stoves, propane bottles, coolers, etc. plus countless linens, tools, tablewares, on and on. I could organize a yard sale but these things might be a blessing in Haiti, a refugee camp or other places of need.
I wish the Maho left overs to be of benefit and I am willing to donate them. If you know of a charity or organization who will transport and distribute these goods, please contact me at stanley@maho.org. I look forward to your ideas.

Re: Maho Bay Camps items
Has anyone stayed at Maho Bay Camp recently that could comment on the condition of these items? I know someone who is involved with mission trips to Haiti. I read some recent reviews on TA that mentioned that maintenance has declined there and some things are in disrepair. The logistics and expense of transporting these items would be huge. Any thoughts would be appreciated before I open my big mouth and get involved!

Eagleraylover - unfortunately you are too late as Maho was sold on December 27th 2012 (see my previous post)
