Robindel’s Round Robin
Hatching news in New Hampshire since 1951
Spring 2015 Edition
Greetings from Ann & Nat
We are so excited for Summer 2015 with our best enrollment ever of
returning campers as well as many new campers. As we watch the
flowers push their heads through the soil in our yard, despite the long
cold winter, we are assured that summer is not too far away.
Wishing all of you a Happy Holiday Season ahead...a joyous Easter
and a sweet Passover
Love, Ann & Nat

teaches 11th grade English in the South Bronx. She was inspired
to teach after spending a summer as a counselor in 2005! They
were so glad to spend a weekend celebrating with their friends
and family, and especially thankful to have so many Robindel
friends by their side on their special day. Mazel Tov!
