are due by the end of tonight’s meeting for the cabin campout this weekend.

Hello Troop 216 families,

We have reserved the Mallinckrodt cabin at Beaumont Scout Reservation for
the weekend of Feb 14. Sign-up will be capped at the cabin’s capacity of
20 campers so don’t delay in getting payment and the signed permission form
turned in. The cabin has bunks, fireplace, wood stove, refrigerator, cook
stove, and dry sink. Water and latrines are outdoors. As always, we need
sufficient adult presence for our camp outs to take place so your support
is appreciated.

Map and permission form attached.

Troop 216,

Just a reminder that will be meeting at the Coolbaugh property, 5447 North
State Route 159, Edwardsville, IL, tomorrow 26 January to finish securing
the shelves to the trailer walls as well as sorting gear into what will be
stored in the trailer, what will be stored at the church, and what we
intend to donate, sell, or both. This should only take a couple of hours.
Thank you in advance for your help with this.

Mike OKoniewski

If that will cause issues for anyone, please let me know and I can arrange
to get the permission and money from you at another time. My cell is

With apologies,
