Budget / Finance Committee Update - Roger Thomson chair

All Committees were asked to submit a written plan of their proposed program and scope of services to the camporee, and along with that a budget for any expenditures that may be needed. The Budget / Finance committee is firmly committed to keeping participant fees as low as possible, while ensuring the highest level of stewardship of fees and contributions. We continue to chase some cost estimates, and when we have them in hand, a proposed fee schedule will be shared with the key leadership for approval.

Due to the surprise of their attack, they were able to complete their mission in only 10 minutes thus limiting the abilities of the counterattack in the D-Day invasion. Only two men were lost in this mission; Lance corporal Fred Greenhalgh, who drowned when his glider landed in a near by pond, and Lieutenant Dan Brotheridge, who was shot in the first minutes of the assault while crossing the bridge. Brotheridge is the first of the allied forces to have died by enemy fire on D-Day. There is now a museum at the location to the Pegasus Bridge where you can see the original bridge as well as learn much more about the events that took place to make D-Day a success and liberate the area from the German forces. 

The monthly meeting for all Normandy Camporee 2022 will be held on Thursday, June 17, 2021 at 7:30 PM CEST.
