Camp Attaway

Due to the ever present generosity of Steve and Patty Wecker, Cured/18th & 21st was the scene of a Gin & Jazz fundraiser for Camp Attaway. And, what a perfect setting for that theme! Flappers and boas were everywhere, in a place that was made for that atmosphere. Delicious food and amazing Prohibition Cocktails helped set the mood. Silent auction items were generously donated by restaurants, artists, sports enthusiasts, and jewelers.

Camp Attaway’s mission is to nurture the mind, the body, and the spirit of children who are missing out on fun, friendship, success, and achievement because of difficulty managing their emotions and behavior. It also supports the children’s families. Its Executive Director, and a number of its board members are classmates of mine from Leadership Howard County Class of 2015.

Many of the participants at this event are from that class. It is amazing, but not surprising, how we support each other in our various pursuits. To say that we formed life long relationships is not an overstatement. See what happens when one of us reaches out for the support of the others.

As you know, I am very involved in our community. Consequently, I am out and about frequently. I am constantly warmed by how caring and generous our community is. I am honored to be a part of it.
