LETTER FROM THE EDITOR, DEAR BROTHERS, IT IS MY
HOPES AND WISHES THAT THIS NEWSLETTER, FINDS EACH
ONE OF YOU IN GOOD HEALTH AND SPIRIT. THIS PAST
YEAR HAS BEEN A VERY BUSY AND PRODUCTIVE YEAR FOR
CAMP WILLARD. WE ATTENDED, AND WERE INVOLVED IN
SEVERAL EVENTS BEGINNING IN MAY WITH MEMEORIAL
DAY WEEKEND EVENTS, CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE
SUMMER MONTHS AND WE WILL FINISH UP IN DECEMBER
WITH THE VICTORIAN STROLL IN DOWN TOWN TROY,
NY. IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE HAD SUCH A
BUSY AGENDA. ON THE BUSINESS END OF CAMP WILLARD,
WE HAVE SEVERAL PROJECTS UNDERWAY. BEGINNING WITH
THE CREATION OF THE BROTHER CARLTON E. COVEL
MEMORIAL AWARD WHICH WILL BE AWARDED TO A
STUDENT FROM A LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL WHO HAS ACHIEVED
ACADEMIC EXCELLANCE IN THE SUBJECTS OF
HISTORY/SOCIAL STUDIES. THIS WILL BE A 200.00
CASH AWARD. OUR THANKS ALSO GO OUT TO THE
SARATOGA BATTLE CHAPTER OF THE SONS OF THE
AMERICA REVOLUTION FOR MATCHING THE CAMP
WILLARDS DONATION ON THIS AWARD. BROTHER COVEL
WAS A VERY INTRICATE MEMBER IN BOTH OF OUR
ORGANIZATIONS. WE ALSO, HAVE SEVERAL CEMETERY
PROJECTS IN THE WORKS INCLUDING, MT. IDA AND
OAKWOOD CEMETERIES IN TROY, NY AND THE VALE
CEMETERY IN SCHENECTADY, NY. WE ARE ALSO WORKING
WITH ALBANY COUNTY IN AN EFFORT TO REGAIN THE GAR
ROOM IN THE ALBANY COUNTY COURTHOUSE. WE WOULD
ALSO LIKE TO FORM ANSVR UNIT WITHIN CAMP WILLARD
IN THE NEAR FUTURE . WE STILL HAVE A LOT TO
ACCOMPLISH WITHIN OUR CAMP, SO OUR FUTURE LOOKS
BRIGTHER AND BUSIER. IN CLOSING BROTHERS, ENJOY
THIS EDITION OF THE GUIDON AND REMEMBER TO
