Council recognizes volunteers behind Camp Bandage program
Summary
Councilor Lisa Ford recognized longtime volunteers Kirk Klein and Paul Garner for their work reviving and running Camp Bandage, a local educational weekend program that Ford said began in 1983 and was later restarted by volunteers.
Councilor Lisa Ford recognized volunteer leaders of Camp Bandage during the council recap, highlighting the program's history and community reach.
Ford said she and other councilors recognized Kirk Klein, described in the remarks as an unpaid volunteer director, and Paul Garner, whose parents started the program in 1983. Ford recalled working with the program in her previous nonprofit role and said the event provides educational and community value.
"Kurt says he doesn't really start on it till January, but I can tell you he works on it all year long," Ford said, praising Klein's ongoing commitment. She described the weekend event as educational, supported by community volunteers, and well received by families.
The remarks were part of a summary of the council's May 20 meeting; no formal action or funding decision for Camp Bandage was recorded in the meeting excerpt.
