Throughout the year, our staff has many opportunities to visit many different civic clubs, family organizations, women’s clubs, businesses, and churches to share the “Camp ASCCA story”.
The Birmingham-East Rotary Club has been a great friend to camp and our campers with disabilities for many, many years. Summer intern Whitney Shifflet, who of course you’ve heard a lot from this summer, had the chance to join me at the Rotary Club’s August 10th meeting!
As their guest speaker I shared a few minutes about Camp ASCCA, who we are, etc. then showed a wonderful slideshow presentation from one of our weeks of summer camp
(created by our interns, of course). At these types of presentations I always tell a few stories about specific campers, specific events, etc., but to the Rotarians, NOTHING compares to hearing from a staff member who has directly interacted with the campers. Keeping this in mind, Whitney shared her experiences and did a fantastic job representing Camp ASCCA. There’s something about a young person sharing his/her summer experiences about camp!
From left to right in the photo are: President Danny Cooner, Whitney, me, and past Rotary 6860 District Governor, Don Hadden. By the way, Mr. Ron Layne is a member of this Rotary club as well as a faithful and generous member of our Board of Directors arranged for this presentation. Thanks Ron!
