Dear Lions International Youth Camper:
Welcome to the 37th Montgomery Lions Club International Youth Camp. You are
taking part in a program that has a very rich heritage and because of its
success, will continue for years to come!
The Montgomery Lions Club is proud to join with other Lions Club and
Districts throughout the world in sponsoring this program. Please take
advantage of the many opportunities to learn more about the United States,
its government, customs, and traditions. More importantly, take advantage of
learning about the different countries that are represented by young men in
this year's camp!
A key to the success of the camp is the Host Families in the cities that
you will visit. Each family will extend a warm welcome to you. You will
become close friends with many of these families, and we hope you will share
your appreciation with them. Without the Host Families, the camp could not
be a success.
2187 young men have participated in the previous 36 camps. It is because of
their leadership that the camp has been successful. Those who get the most
out of this experience put the interest of the group foremost in all
activities. Lasting friendships are forged, and better world understanding
is achieved!
Because of the previous Camper, we can proudly say, "Welcome to the finest
Lions International Camp in the World!"
Most Sincerely,
Charles Brightwell, Chairman
David Kahn, Co-Chairman
Ed Sauls, Co-Chairman
Bill Chandler, Coordinator
