Summer camp can help a child in need

Friday, May 19, 2000 | 9:43 a.m.

One young Las Vegas girl is known to her teachers as an outstanding volunteer in the pre-kindergarten classroom. She assists daily in material preparation and breakfast, then returns at lunchtime to read to the children.

She does so much for others, yet she asks for nothing, school officials say. At such a young age she is seeking direction, but also needs to have fun in her life.

A week at summer camp where she can sing campfire songs, roast hot dogs, make friends and play games could be a refreshing break for a young girl.

Daseler, Arnold and Florence Fogel and the Fogel Family Trust; Fraternal Order of Eagles Auxiliary 1213; Ruthe Deskin "In memory of Ken Jones"; Phil and Venice Zasloff; Pat and Ellen Murphy "In memory of Robert Ashton"; James R. Tucker Family "In memory of Robert Ashton"; Joseph and Pamelia Ryan "In memory of Robert Ashton"; Fabulous Vegas Branch 279 Inc. of the Fleet Reserve Association; and William and Christine Barrett Jr.
