The annual Blind Camp funded by the National Camps for Blind Children (NCBC) was held July 4 - 10 at Camp Yorktown Bay on Lake Ouachita.  While some Village churches and a number of civic organizations encourage their volunteers to assist with various aspects of the camp's activities, Council 10208 provides volunteers for the bowling portion of the camp.

For several years Mike Frantz has been coordinating the activities of the knights and their spouses for the five days of the bowling activity which lasts 2 - 2.5 hours at Fiesta B

owl.  This year there were 23 volunteers involved, including:  Dave Andorfer, Ray Bertrand, John Bodensteiner, Ed & Pat Cudworth, Father Bill Elser, Mike & Chris Frantz, Larry Hubenak, Wayne & Dee Kapple, Gerald Krawczynski, Chuck & Elaine MacDonald, Mike & Pat Miller, Raul Monarque, Ed Pilarski, Del & Agnes Scheid, Milt Spaniel, George Vierling, and Bill Welch.  This group from the council has been the largest in recent years.

In addition to the response of so many volunteers, one of the highlights for Mike Frantz  this year ocurred as he assisted a camper off of the bus at Fiesta Bowl.   When Mike greeted the camper, he responded with "Hi Mike"  as he had remembered the sound of Mike's voice from last year and addressed him by name.

Besides helping with the camp, the Council has annually been giving the National Camps for Blind Children $1,000 from the funds raised during the fall "Tootsie Roll" campaign.  (Check the Photo Gallery for more pictures.)
