If you met my friend Emery, please keep him in your prayers. Had a small Heart Attack following surgery yesterday.

EDIT: Emery is home today and feeling much better.

We are doing good on our Ad Building roofing repair fund, but we are still a bit short and could use a bit more help. Please let me know if you can help.
Every $$ helps.

It's time for my annual Camp Shin-Go-Beek fundraising plea. Most of our plumbing is in OK shape so this year I am asking for help with the Ad Building Roof. It is in pretty bad shape and critically needs to be re-done, before we have any leaks. There are currently none! If we raise enough, we are planning to install a metal roof that will last for 50+ years. We are about 70% of the way to meet our $$$$ goal but we still need some help to reach it. We are planning to get this project done in late April/early May, so the time is getting short. You can find me at on PayPal or -Armentano on Venmo. I will have a special gift for everyone who donates to this worthy project.
Every little bit helps!! Please contact me at:
[email protected] or [email protected] for more information about donating.
Thanks in Advance

**** Buffalo On The Loose ****

The buffalo has been spotted on County Highway E North of Ogdensburg. Use caution when driving on the roadway in the area. If you see the buffalo, do not approach it as they are unpredictable, and report the location to the Waupaca County Sheriff’s Office at (715)258-4466. Reference Case Number W24-07297.

My annual plea:
Please help if you can.

It took a bit to decide what I am looking to do to improve our infrastructure at Shin-Go-Beek this year.
We are planning to run a water line out to the Call-Out ring and to the area above it on the Point where we are building a Scout-skills teaching area.

I'm picking up the supplies we need in a few weeks. It will cost about a few hundred dollars to install this much needed improvement (How many of us had to stand in Twin Lake to get 5 gal. buckets of water to put out fires there.).

I know the economy kind of hit or miss right now and none of us have much to spare so......

I'm in some of it, but I could use some help.
If you can help, please PM me on my John Armentano FB account.
