Compatriots:<br />
Another month has flown by. I just don’t know where the time goes. April is<br />
upon us and it’s the busiest month for the entire Camp. Our meeting will be as<br />
usual in “The Wings <strong>of</strong> Freedom Hall “ at 11:00 AM on Saturday April 5th. This<br />
is a very important meeting, so don’t miss it.<br />
On the 18th,19th and 20th,we will have the recruiting booth for our Camp.<br />
Please let Norm know when you can help out . Doesn’t matter if it’s four hours or<br />
a whole day. Help is needed.<br />
April 26th is our Convention and Ball, the evening <strong>of</strong> the 25th we’ll be decorating<br />
our area. Come on over it’s fun and help will be needed. We still need items<br />
for our auction. Large or small. We need many items. Help out here if you can.<br />
Also, If you are attending and haven’t paid your fees, please try and do so now,<br />
just so we can be assured <strong>of</strong> paying all our bills before the event. It would be nice<br />
to have a cushion.<br />
On Sunday morning, April 27th, the dedication <strong>of</strong> the Jefferson Davis Memorial<br />
Park will take place. Please plan to attend. Great things have happened on that<br />
little plot <strong>of</strong> ground. Brent can give you the latest.<br />

Saturday and hauling plants for the park.<br />
And don’t f<strong>org</strong>et Oregon City, for those who can attend and help out at the<br />
