How About A Capital Campaign and NOT A Capital Asset Sale!
Mood:  loud
Topic: Sale of Scout Camps
What is going to happen when the new Executive Committee goes up to Owasippe? I think that the entire board who votes should go and not only the new executive committee.

What a difference on how the property would look TODAY if they took the insurance money and rebuilt the dining hall at Carlen and the Lodge at Reneker. I hope that someone points out to the board that
the constant raping of the land and resources over the years along with no overt publicity campaign for camping and utilizing the property caused much of her appearance today.

Some of that BONUS Hoover money could make quite a difference towards Capital improvements for this property and would help in a partnership with the OOEC in allowing for the continued operation of the
facility.

It was refreshing to see that the NEW Executive Committee is comprised mostly of Bankers and not Lawyers, Insurance people or Real Estate
Developers. Bankers always seem to look at their bottom line more.

Maybe they will realize that Owasippe is Chicago Area Councils truly only appreciating capital asset that will never depreciate.

God Bless all of you, say a prayer and keep the faith!

YIS,
John Hosty
