Report Funds for Camp Ahwahnee Over-the-Top, Anaheim Leading
In a letter to all Camp Ahwahnee Development Fund drive workers, Adoph Schoepe, general chairman of the drive, expressed his sincere thanks, on the part of the entire committee, for the splendid work accomplished.
"I know that all of you are aware of the fact that our goal only included the minimum facilities required," he stated, "and many of the items may increase in cost before all our pledges are paid up and we are able to construct the projects. The swimming pool is one of the specific items that probably cannot be built at the estimated cost when the time comes."
Mr. Schoepe went on to say that due to the rapidly increasing population in this part of Orange County, additional facilities will most likely be required. In reminding the workers and the general public of this fact, he urged the workers to continue "to make every effort to clean up the prospect list which includes more than a thousand prospects who either were not called on or who were unable to give at this time."
A permanent Camp Ahwahnee Fund Committee has been appointed, consisting of Tom Eadington, John Hagn, Wayne Herbst, Brown McPherson and Mr. Schoepe, chairman.
Funds collected and pledged until May 21 are as follows: Anaheim $60,120.50; Fullerton, $45,677.29; Brea, $18,756.80; La Habra, $10,279.50; Placentia, $4,454.00; Yorba Linda, $335.00; Cypress, $1940.00 and the initital sales accounted for $41,000.00, making a total of $189,127.29. Los Alamitos and Stanton committees had not reported their collections at the May 21 deadline.
Assisting Mr. Schoepe as the head of the drive is Myrt L. Westering, executive vice-chairman.
Camp Ahwahnee is in the San Bernardino Mountains and will be a permanent camp for Boy Scout uses for many years to come.
