raise more donations so let folks know
what we're doing and maybe they'll
reach way down deep to help out.
     January is Lee-Jackson month with
both great men born this month
(Lee/19th-Jackson/21st), most Camps
hold a Lee-Jackson Banquet this
month where the members and wives
are invited to attend. I propose we hold
ours locally or either have a family
cookout. Let me know what you think
or give me some ideas. We must make
this a priority issue as time is drawing
near. As far as a cookout, I believe we
still have a few butts in the freezer.
     Our Camp House is still "in the
works" for those of you who haven't
been by, the sheet rock is up in the
back room but lots of help is still
needed. Adj. Ham would surely
appreciate any help that can be
afforded either physically or
monetarily. Gentlemen nothing is
free in this world and we need to show our
appreciation for this project by
devoting a little time there. No one has
to be on hand for some of us to just
stop by and do a little raking or cutting
weeds or just picking up trash or even
better doing a little physical labor . Any
would be a help.
     A little bit on upcoming events or
plans we have in the works:
January- Lee/Jackson month, 3rd
