It is once again time for Scouts, Scouters and friends of
Camp Eastman to gather for the Fifth Annual Banquet and Auction.
Since we met last April the Camp Eastman Development Association has
accomplished a great deal to improve and preserve Camp Eastman.
Many of the Scouts, that attended camp in 1999, enjoyed improvements and
opportunities that were the direct result of those who generously supported our
last banquet. Your continued
support will make many more projects become a reality at camp this summer.
All who share the goal of preserving and improving Camp Eastman are
invited to attend.
The
banquet this year will be held in the same location, St. Mary’s Parish Center
in Ft. Madison. Cost for the
banquet dinner is $10.00. Reservations
are recommended, but you are welcome with out them. You can also purchase a ticket to the banquet by contacting
any Camp Eastman Development Association board member.
President
Jim Gray will deliver the annual report of Camp Eastman Development Association
and preview the projects that are currently planned by the board of directors.
Joe Williams, a long time contributor to CEDA, will also deliver a few
brief remarks. Special recognition
will be given to those who have made significant contributions to the
association during the past year.
