SEND A KID TO CAMP

 bums occupy

The Bum has been able to help many of our local children attend day camp this summer, $3,045 in change has been raised to date.  However, he knows there are still jars filling up out in the community.  If you have a "Change for Camp" jar, it is not too late to turn it in, even if it is not full to the brim.  Just drop it by the Northern Neck Family YMCA at 39 William B. Graham Court, Kilmarnock, and help a few more of our children have fun in a safe, enriching environment.
