[P201208] Andrew Yeh Eagle Project

Hi troop,

I am currently planning for my eagle project. It will be at the same place as Young's eagle project, Pal Karma Dorje Dzinpa Ling, which is a private retreat land used by Mingyur Rinpoche and other Buddhist teachers for holding retreats in Northern California. (nearby Wente) The main purpose is to build a small shelter around the retreat's main water pump in order to protect it from bears and outside forces.

As of right now, the date arranged with my sponsor Mr. Dwayne Ladle is Saturday, August 11 2012, for two days and two nights (arrive Friday night and come back Sunday afternoon. I know that it coincides with the summer camp that many of the younger scouts will be going to so I would appreciate it if anyone who isn't going to the summer camp come to my project as well as the senior scouts and the already graduated eagle scouts (if you have time) because this would require a lot of competent work. You can come for a day if you want if you have problem with time. Mr. Ladle is kind enough to provide free indoor lodgings and a kitchen so the parents can cook.

Also, in order to raise funds, I am collecting plastic or glass bottles so if anyone has some please do not throw them away and give them to me at the next two troop meetings.

Thank you,

Andrew Yeh
