Staff Alumni

Purpose

The Massanetta Springs Staff Alumni Association (MSSAA) was founded in 1975 by Dr. Philip A. Roberts, former Executive Director of Massanetta, for the purpose of under-girding the work of Massanetta Springs by:

• Maintaining fellowship among the staff members who have served in the past
• Assisting the Massanetta management in recruiting summer and permanent staff by suggesting the names of potential staff members
• Promoting the program of Massanetta financially and by whatever means that seem appropriate and desirable

Membership

The MSSAA is open to all who worked at Massanetta Springs or Camp Massanetta at any time as summer or permanent staff. There is a MSSAA Board that maintains the Charter and implements the by-laws. The Board is always looking for new volunteers and ideas about ways to serve Massanetta.  Please print and mail the Annual Membership Form.

Activities

Remember when you were young and carefree and how much working at Massanetta meant to you? Or remember when you chose to work at Massanetta as a dedicated Christian to hear the speakers and perform service? Remember the great people and friendships? How about the Staff Shows, Christmas in July, the hikes to Vesper Hill, or the endless discussions about our "jobs" at Massanetta? Whatever your reason for working at Massanetta Springs, we would like you to join us to remember the fun times, the dedicated and creative staff, and the wonderful feeling of working with friends, both young and old, in the Shenandoah Valley.

Service

Dues are $15.00 annually. Since 1977, dues and gifts have provided over $20,000 to support Massanetta. These gifts have included: digital camera, welder, Bible Conference speaker support, refinishing dining room tables, preservation of historical records, Camp Massanetta tables and sports equipment, brochure printing, canoe dock, hay wagon, mattresses, tree repairs, auditorium communion table, nursery and playground equipment, video tape player, dormitory improvements, postage for the Friends, educational equipment, and RV site upgrades.

There is always a need for new MSSAA Board members and we would like to hear from you if you are so inclined. The MSSAA Board has organized into officers and committees to perform its functions. These committees include: Membership, Nominating, Reunion, and Special Projects.
