Today's Quote: The marsh, to him who enters it in a receptive mood, holds, besides mosquitoes and stagnation, melody, the mystery of unknown waters, and the sweetness of Nature undisturbed by man. (Charles William Beebe)
Wednesday February 21, 2007
On Sunday March 4, 2007, at 1:00 P.M., the Friends of Tinnerman/Tinnerman Guide Association will hold its tenth annual luncheon at the Greater Cleveland Council Scout Service Center located at 2241 Woodland Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. This year, former camp directors, former guides, members of the maintenance crew, members of the current camp staff, and friends of Tinnerman will each present ten-minute slide shows with narratives of their experiences at Tinnerman and on the French River. The one-hour long presentation will portray the history and future of the scouting experience at Tinnerman Canoe Base.
In addition, bring pictures from your time on the French River. Tables will be available for individual displays, and we will have a scanner available so your pictures can be included on a new Tinnerman DVD.
Please join The Friends of Tinnerman/Tinnerman Guide Association and bring anyone who would be interested to learn about Tinnerman’s past, present, and future. To attend and eat lunch, complete the registration form (MS Word) and return it along with a check for $20.00 per person. Please reply by February 26, 2007. There is no cost to attend if you want to attend the presentation only and not eat lunch. Even if you cannot attend, please contact the Friends of Tinnerman/Tinnerman Guide Association if you have anything that you would like to donate for the silent auction at the luncheon.
