SAVING CAMP ALLEN
Dear Islandjed@hotmail.com,
Thank you for signing the "Saving Camp Allen" petition at iPetitions.com
website. Your signature is valuable and makes a real difference. Please
encourage others to sign the petition as well. To do that, just forward the text
below to everyone who might be interested. The e-mail address follows the
petition statement.
If you have enjoyed and treasured Camp Allen over the years as I have, you will
want to help preserve this irreplaceable property from the super highway
proposed to cut into it.
Camp Allen located in Grimes County is in the target area of TxDot's I-69
Corridor. If this 1200 foot wide tollway was built, it would destroy the
1100-acre Conference and Retreat Center that is visited by 42,000 people per
year. Children have been coming to Camp Allen for summer camp since 1921. Over
6,000 children per year come to the facility each year for outdoor education and
ecological studies. Any type of freeway would diminish the ability to have
outdoor classrooms or to hold retreats from the city. NO DONATION IS REQUIRED AT
THE END OF THE PETITION PROCESS. We want the I-69 corridor plan stopped from
harming Camp Allen.

I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage you to add
