On June 22nd, Camp Sergeant celebrated its 100th anniversary with a well-attended event that brought together founders, staff, families, and community members. Attendees enjoyed delicious food and a series of acknowledgments and proclamations recognizing the camp's long-standing impact. The event was praised for its organization and community spirit, with gratitude expressed towards the YMCA staff and families who contributed to its success.
In addition, the community rallied for \"The Longest Day\" event, which focused on raising funds for Alzheimer's awareness. The event featured hot dog sales that sold out by the evening, with organizers noting a significant turnout. While exact sales figures are pending, early estimates suggest a busy day, with many vendors donating a portion of their proceeds to the Alzheimer's program. One vendor alone contributed over $2,000, highlighting the event's growing importance and community support.
Participants noted that the event is evolving into a cherished community tradition, reminiscent of old home days, while also serving as a poignant reminder of the impact of Alzheimer's on many families. The meeting concluded with well wishes for an upcoming Independence Day celebration, emphasizing the community's spirit and engagement.
