Shortly after the veterans supper we will be holding a meeting over at St. Mark's to plan the weekend's camp-out to Starved Rock park.

We will be going over the menu and the agenda of the weekend. The rough idea for Saturday will be to hold the I.L.S.T. training during the day at the park. We will claim one of the picnic areas and will work on the training just outside the visitors center. We will be having lunch at the park.

Mr. Browne needs some help

Mr. Brown may need some help. If you aren't going camping please call Tim and see what you can do.

Good Evening Everyone!

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood and a wonderful time at the pool this past afternoon. Our boys helped out a gaggle of cub scouts before jumping back in the pool and taking the bsa swimmer test for themselves. It definitely isn't easy to help with a full list of requirements and then go back in for more but they managed to do it. Good job guys!

Good Evening Everyone!

I want to start tonight's letter off by thanking everyone that helped Bradly with his eagle project. With all of the scrap, junk and saveable items he moved or disposed of around 35,000 pounds of stuff. This was one of the bigger projects we have done in the past few years. Camp Kane is most definitely grateful for all the help they received. Bradly's next task is to get the paperwork done, which should be completed this coming week.

Thank you again everyone!
