New Business:

• We had a great night, Rich and his wonderful family hosted us at their beautiful home. What a wonderful evening it was. And, the food was great. Donated items will be given to St. John’s church’s food pantry. Rob brought over his truck so we can get the items there. Thank you very much Rob.

• The Morning News, Channel 11, is coming to the camp on Friday, 9/5. They will arrive at 5:30 am and Larry Huff will be their TV personality on the site. They will broadcast from camp for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes three times between 6:30 and 6:40, second between 7:30 and 7:40, and third between 8:30 and 8:40. We need people to be there to make it look like (a simulated) duck barbecue is taking place that morning. TV is visual and this is what they want to make it a good broadcast.

• Next week we will begin discussing the President’s citation

• We nee help selling duck tickets on 8/30 in front of Rich’s 711 in Westhampton. If we all take shifts, we should be able to sell quite a number of tickets.
