 Thank You, Variety, the Children's Charity!
Last month, Variety, the Children's Charity respresentatives Kim McDowell and Connie Hauskins presented a $3,000 grant to Hawkeye Area Council. The grant proceeds will be used to replace a walk-in freezer that was used when it was installed in the Troop Service Building at the Howard H. Cherry Scout Resveration in 1964. With a record-setting summer of 2009, Camp now serves more than 5,000 guests each year.
