DESCRIPTION:Lake Stevens Rotarians\, I would like to extend a personal invi
tation to join me for a tour of YMCA Camp Casey on Whidbey Island the morn
ing of Friday\, June 6th. This visit would be a great opportunity to exper
ience firsthand the powerful impact this facility has on youth and familie
s in our region. Camp Casey provides inspiring group getaways\, youth deve
lopment programs\, and overnight summer camps that serve both Island and S
nohomish County. It is a remarkable example of the kind of resource that s
trengthens communities\, builds resilience in young people\, and promotes
health and connection across generations. I believe a visit to Camp Casey
would provide valuable perspective as we continue to explore opportunities
to expand YMCA programming and presence in our own community. We will h
ave approximately an hour tour of the beautiful property and its amenities
by Chief Development Officer\, Jennifer Willows and the CEO of the Y of S
nohomish County\, Payton Tune. Below is our Group Itinerary for your refer
ence. I have also included an optional Whidbey Island Day Guide if you wou
