Jayme, 


Could you please pass this this information on to your members?  


On April 27th RAC has been invited to a "Cub-a-roo" at Durant Scout Park and the organizers would also like to invite  CHAOS as well. 


The event will benefit both Cub scouts at Camp Durant and Boy scouts at Camp Reeves.  The turn out is expected to yield about 800 scouts.  We definitively could use help from CHAOS if anyone would like to come. 



Regards, 
Doug

D) Power:   the facilities personnel are considering the possibility of running 3 or 4 Power cords to the mid-part of the parking lot with "Five Finger splitters".  This would give us power for 15 - 20 scopes (plus accessories).  However, come prepared with your own power, as if you would be observing in the field

I) Bathrooms: The facilities staff is working to leave the lodge open for bathroom access.  There are also shower facilites with Hot and Cold running water near by.  See the attached photo.
