Fun Weekend Rescheduled

September 6th, 2012

Dear Camp Sertoma Committee Member, Camp Sertoma Club Member, and/or Member of a Sertoma Club in the Chesapeake Bay, Doug Council, or Henry C. Carter Districts:

Because of a mixup as to the dates of the “third weekend of September,” the Sertoma 4-H Center will not be available on the weekend of September 15-16 for our event. The Sertoma 4-H Center staff had us scheduled for the weekend of September 22-23 and in the meantime rented the property for a wedding on the weekend of September 15-16.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We hope that those of you who have RSVP’d that you were coming on the weekend of the 15th will be able to come a week later and those of you who had a conflict will now be able to attend. The RSVP deadline date has been extended by another week.

Attached is a revised flyer and registration form. Again we apologize for any inconvenience.

John Kelly

Presidential visit to camp

May 15th, 2011

Sertoma President Dennis Lawler and his wife, Judy, of Liberty, Mo. visited Camp Sertoma today. Randy Mercer, governor of the Henry C. Carter District, sponsored the event today and prepared a wonderful lunch (see photos below). Keith Russell was joined by several Winston-Salem Sertom Club, Camp Sertoma Club, Raleigh Sertoma Club and Alamance County Sertoma Club members and other guests. The weather was fair and didn’t start drizzling until we were under the gym porch eating lunch. Keith Russell showed us all the newly renovated dining hall, kitchen, Cheshire Hall’s lobby, the chapel, the 2 classrooms and the 3 cabin circles. Afterward, committee chair John Kelly drove them to see the horse barn and riding ring, the Doug Council High Adventure course, and the campground. President Lawler and Judy were very complimentary of the camp and its facilities. A very successful event!

Fun Weekend September 17-19

August 14th, 2010

Have you made plans to attend fun weekend? Come and enjoy the relaxing environment and the fellowship with other Sertomans. It is also a great way to introduce new members to our multi-state sponsorship, Camp Sertoma of North Carolina. See the latest improvements that have been made to the camp property. And maybe even get into a little mischief along the way! I look forward to seeing you then.

Deaf Camp A Success!

August 14th, 2010

Ninety-two happy campers enjoyed a great week of fun, outdoor activities, crafts and visiting Hanging Rock State Park. Kudos go to summer program director Robert Banks and 4-H for planning an excellent program for the campers. A big thank you to Michael Hoffman for his six years of dedication and service as deaf camp program coordinator.

None of this would have been possible without the continued support of the Sertoma Clubs in North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland. Be on the lookout for pictures from camp and a video showing all the fun the campers enjoyed.

Walk4Hearing

November 14th, 2009

The NC Hearing Loss Association raised $34,136.00 in its first Walk4Hearing. This is wonderful for the first year of an event. The final tally for the Sertoma Clubs was $1455.00!! Thanks go out to everyone who supported this event. The amount we raised will be given to Camp Sertoma to give a camper a scholarship to deaf camp.
