MANY THANKS TO OUR VOLUNTEER LEADERS ~
2005 was the first year for our Volunteer Leader Program, and the stellar volunteers who have come forward and been chosen to run the fundraising program up at camp have given up personal time to come to monthly FoCM meetings and special training - not to mention the time that is donated while at camp. These people are available before the week that they serve (links and phone numbers are to the left) to coordinate camper volunteer efforts for their week at camp. In return for their guaranteed reservations, your VL's also give up personal vacation time at camp. If you are interested in the Volunteer Leader program for Summer click here. Let's thank -
