Guest Speaker: Scott Weber was formerly a member of the SLV Rotary Club (1994-2000) and Director of Camp Campbell. Today, he is the director of Easter Seal’s Camp Harmon in Boulder Creek. Easter Seals was founded in 1922 – A Society For Crippled Children-- and Paul Harris was one of the founding fathers.
Camp Harmon is over 50 years old and has 14 cabins that are all fully accessible. Campers range from 8-64 years old and serves people with special needs in 10 counties. Scott and his crew are focused on renovating the facilities including the trails that need to support 45 wheelchairs in a week. Rotarians have been very involved in the renovation including rebuilding the fire circle and pillbox. President Mike asked if there might be a project our club could help on. Scott said yes and invited us to an Open House on May 1.
Drawing: There is a pot of $906. Scott picked Steve’s ticket and he drew a spade!
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30.
