SIXTH ANNUAL BANQUET AND AUCTION

 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 2000, 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 a new location, Trinity Lutheran Church in Burlington.  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. Special recognition will be given to those who have made significant contributions to the association during the past year.

Colonel Monte Delzell will again cry the fund raising auction.  Remember, the funds made by the auction will be used to make Camp Eastman improvements for the 2000 camp season.  Bring your checkbook, there are lots of unique items included in the auction this year.
