We hope you'll join us for Camp Fire's 2012 Annual Meeting. This year marks a century of Camp Fire in Minnesota.

We will take this important moment to reflect on the tens of thousands of young Minnesotans who have grown into leaders thanks to Camp Fire programs. We will also look ahead to the next century of Camp Fire in Minnesota.

We are delighted to have National Camp Fire CEO Cathy Tisdale as our keynote speaker for this momentous occasion. Ms. Tisdale will talk about the good work Camp Fire is doing across the country. As always, Minnesota Council's CEO, Marnie Wells, will give the annual State of Camp Fire in Minnesota address sharing stories from clubs and camp from the past year.

The lead architects behind the capital campaign for Camp Tanadoona will also give a special presentation. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about the next big chapter for Tanadoona.
