Chad K gave us an update on FRYS. Dave B and Brenda DeMars are the two key members on the FRYS board. The members present voted Dave and Brenda into the board for the next three years. Dave presented about the history of the Rotary Camp (built in 1963). Strive was started in the 90's. At that time the club wanted to become a 501c3 to better support the Strive program. Warm Our Community is a newer addition. Music and Art scholarships have been happening for several decades.
$302,000- the net worth at this time. Some of this is for the camp maintenance and some is for scholarship. We currently have two checking accounts- the Donation account and the Strive account.
Gambling- $2.1 million in sales -the earnings help fund the same programs the camp funds.
