December 23, 2007 President’s Letter And the child grew and became strong; He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. Luke 2:40 This year is coming to an end. The Illiana Board would like to wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope your Cadet year so far is doing great. I have been blessed to be able to visit a few clubs so far and have seen some very exciting things going on. We should be well on our way in preparing the Cadets for the Camporee in August. Badge work should be in process. The Camporee committee is moving forward with plans for transportation, and certification. There will be meetings in January and February for all Cadets and Councilors who are interested in going. The first meeting will be held at Bethel Christian Reformed Church (3500 Glenwood-Lansing Road, Lansing, IL 60438 - 708 474-9226) on Thursday January 24th at 7:30. We are getting prices of busses and planes to the Camporee site. You may be wondering why I started this letter with a verse. This verse should sound familiar to many of you. This is the verse that Cadets was founded on. Many of us know the Cadet verse John 14:15, but did you know this verse? Over 50 years ago the founding fathers of Cadets determined that this was the verse that Cadets should be founded on. What a statement of faith this verse is. Jesus continued to grow and became strong and was filled with wisdom. The legacy left by our founding Cadet leaders still holds true today. If we are Living for Jesus, then we too should be developing our Cadets to become strong and be filled with wisdom. I hope and pray that throughout the year we all remember what our ministry is all about and that we strive to accomplish what our founding fathers wished for Cadeting.
