Richards Arena Update 
 Focus Turns to Bench & Memorial Wall
Sponsorships for Richards Arena
A little over a year has gone by since we lost our friend and Brother, Tom Richards, but, the fundraising campaign to build an incredible arena in his honor at Resica Falls continues.
The lodge set a very lofty goal of raising $100,000 to build the 800 seat Thomas J. Richards Arena at Resica Falls, and, to date, over $60,000 has been raised. "We are grateful for the overwhelming support that we have received so far, and are now hoping that individuals, troops, districts, chapters, and others will sponsor a bench for $250 or a place on the Memorial Wall for $100," said project adviser Mark Chilutti.
The lodge is hoping to raise the balance of the funds needed by the lodge banquet in January. For more information on how you can help, please click the link below, or email Mark Chilutti at chilutti2000@aol.com. All gifts to this project are tax deductible and will go a long way in making a difference to the thousands of scouts that camp at Resica Falls each summer.
