Tweedale update

The folks who are trying to persuade the local Girl Scout council to keep Camp Tweedale open are taking action on several fronts:
1. They've prepared a petition to "Save Tweedale" at http://www.change.org/. You can locate the petition by typing "Tweedale" in the search box.
2. They've set up a website, http://www.friendsoftweedale.org/, and a Facebook page, "savecamptweedale!"
3. They've scheduled a community meeting at the Mendenhall Room of the Mendenhall Inn on Route 52 at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 24 "The purpose of this meeting is show community support for Tweedale remaining open (not the divestment of it!)."
As an amusing footnote, next year the U.S. Postal Service will be issuing a stamp to celebrate the Girl Scouts' 100th anniversary. Ironically, "The stamp features the silhouette of a girl with binoculars looking into the distance. A scene within the silhouette features a girl in mid-stride with a walking stick and backpack on a summer trek. The environment is composed of large redwoods, a lake and a distant forested mountainside with small ferns in the foreground."
