As many if not all of you have now heard of the tragic fire at the Echo Lake Farms Produce company in Burlington, WI. Please keep the 300 individuals and families that have been impacted because of this fire in your thoughts and prayers. The loss of 300 jobs will also have an impact on the community of Burlington, WI.

Yours in Scouting, Margaret
