TBM Camp Builders were at the North Texas Baptist Conference Center in January 2001. Ralph Ollman was the coordinator and Raymond Cooksey lead man, 15 volunteers and wives came.
The job was to finish out the inside of three new dormitories, sheetrock, electrical and plumbing. Hardy plank siding was also applied to the outside front and rear of the buildings in areas that will not be coverd by brick.
