The Silver Lake Campers Association held its annual dinner on March 24. We fed about 80 people, thanks to a wonderful menu put together and served by Board Member Frank Rauzi and his crew. We had roast chicken, pesto, tossed salad, fresh bread and an assortment of desserts provided by dinner guests. We held a 50-50 drawing, an auction for another one of Barbara Schingler’s wonderful quilts and some backpacks, and took the annual picture of all those present. There was also an update-meeting presided over by Bob Bonfilio. As is always the case, people who came that night showed a tremendous outpouring of support for their camp.

We appreciate the help of Cynthia and Robert, who always assist us in our events with set-up and clean-up. We also want to thank Candy Burgess for her auctioneering once again, and Barbara Schingler for all the hours and costs that go into the beautiful quilts made from old Silver Lake sweatshirts. We hope to not forget to mention someone, but we also want to acknowledge the impromptu “Match-Your-Money” fundraiser by Kari Copley. This was a big boost-up, as we are still in need of monetary donations.

This dinner is an informal event but it is heartwarming to notice how many camp aficionados jump in and help wherever needed, giving us good contacts, ideas, and generalized help to keep rolling.

Send your donation to United Way (401 E. Main Street, Stockton, CA 95201) with the specification that you would like to have the funds forwarded to the Silver Lake Campers Association. In this way, the money will definitely benefit the needs of this half century plus year old camp in the High Sierras which has been a well loved treasure by many in the Stockton area, as well as individuals from outside of the community, many of whom have returned year after year, as have subsequent generations, to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. When the City of Stockton made the decision to close the camp in 2009, it was through the efforts of the volunteer members of the Association that the camp has been able to continue to meet the needs of the community. Your generosity, at this time of need, will be greatly appreciated by future generations to come!
