About 100 employees of Momentive Performance Materials descended on Camp Cheerful Thursday to make some major improvements.

This is the sixth year the Strongsville company has offered up a day of service at the Achievement Centers for Children's camp for disabled kids. 

"For us to be able to to this isn't a chore," said Joseph Reyes, senior vice president for quartz and ceramics.

His employees performed a number of tasks, including re-roofing and putting new windows in a cabin, installing heaters in two cabins, scouring and repainting the pool, cutting firewood, widening a path and power-washing and painting picnic tables.

Next year, the company plans to install a ramp at the lake to allow kids to canoe.

"We're one big family as a company," Reyes said.

Mayor Tom Perciak thanked the employees, calling them "an army of angels."

"I'm telling you, from the bottom of my heart, you make a difference," Perciak said.
