Seventeen DIFF club members spent a week on Davis Island in May building a cabin for an educational group, a shelter for the National Park Service and two more fish-cleaning tables.
"We really did some work," said Frank Long, who coordinated the trip for the club. "I was really proud of what we were able to get done."

Natalie Woods, the president of the Cape Lookout Environmental Education Center, wrote the following letter to Alvin Tans, DIFF's president.

On behalf of the Cape Lookout Environmental Education Center, I wish to express my thanks and grateful appreciation for the tremendous amount of time and effort the DIFF club gave to our project during May 19 through May 23.
The talent and know-how of club members made quick work of rebuilding our fourth cabin. The finished building and the site look fantastic. Your group has helped us take one big step closer to our first program for children.
Again, many thanks, and we hope you'll stop by CLEEC the next time you're on the island. We look forward to seeing you.
