[Camporee] Camporee meeting reminder

[Bennett Pauline]

On the ongoing saga of the camporee location.

I spoke to Schabarum Park again today.

The bad news is that they changed their minds once more -- they do not
have room for us this year on Apr 28-30.

The good news (spectacularly good) is that they felt sorry about their
end of the confusion and contacted Margarita Ramos at Santa Fe Dam
Recreation Area.  She has agreed to host our Camporee on Apr 28-30 and
has invited me to go inspect their park (in Irwindale) on Friday to see
if it is sufficient for our purposes.

This is grand news.

Santa Fe Dam has is located in a 2500 acre basin, of which 836 acres are
set aside for park usage.  It has a 70 acre lake (with areas marked for
swimming, canoes and paddle boats).  There is a group campfire area in
an amphitheater, more hiking trails than they have yet mapped out and
each camping area comes with its own individual fire ring as well.  If
we chose to have swim races and canoe races (for kids with the
appropriate merit badges) they will provide (for a fee) trained
lifeguards to help us police the water safety. They also have an area
where we can set up the rock climbing wall and indulge in our evil axe
throwing practices.

It is located near the intersection of the 210 and the 605 (about ten
minutes further up the pike than Schabarum), but sounds great.  

Would anyone like to come with me on Thursday or Friday to walk the park
and drop off a deposit?

Just a reminder, the February camporee meeting is on February 1 (first
wednesday of the month). The meeting is at the westside service center
(scout store) and starts at 7PM. We'll be discussing scout events, so if
you have an idea and do not usually come to the camporee meetings, now's
your chance to come to the meeting and voice your idea.
