Cabinet Meeting Wenatchee, WA March 15th, 2025 BC Lions Society Report DG Chuck and fellow Lions A reminder that the next Camp Winfield Improvement Meeting is on May 4th with the Camp Cleanup on May 3rd. This is a great weekend to get out and support our Camp. Arrangements can be made to come and spend 1 or 2 nights at Camp, just bring your own bedding. Some come up on Friday and we have a social time visiting with each other. Then we go to work on cleanup Saturday and stay over for the meeting on Sunday. Give it some thought.  Camp Registration is Open! another season of unforgettable camp experiences! This summer close to 1,000 campers will attend one of our three campsites throughout the province. Gearing up for a full complement of summer programs at all three camps.  . It costs Easter Seals BC/Yukon an average of $3,600 to send each person to a week-long camp. Families are asked to cover only a fraction of this cost and generous donors help cover the remainder. Appeal on now encouraging Clubs & Individuals to give $3600 for sponsoring a child to camp.
