The July 25, 2013 Naples Sunset Rotary Meeting was called to order by President Adoni at 6:35 PM followed by Invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance. The current fund raiser trolley project was discussed and all members urged to purchase trolley tickets from our website. Other projects were also discussed including our November wine walk. President Adoni introduced our speaker, Jim Harmon, Executive Director of Rotary's Camp Florida a camp for those with special needs which operates year round, and serves more than 2000 children and adults yearly. Most of the campers have life limiting conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Cancer, Leukemia, Diabetes, Blood Disease, Birth Defects, etc. Many are in wheel chairs and need close supervision for medical and personal safety. The camp serves as a resident camp and/or a day camp. The 18 acres camp was built in 1952 as a church camp and was acquired by Rotary's Clubs throughout Florida in 1991. Rotary began a restoration program; now the camp meets full standards of the ADA (American with Disabilities Act) and the American Camping Association accommodating up to 120 children in camper cabins. Our President Adoni was honored by Jim Harmon by being appointed to the Board of Directors of Rotary's Camp Florida! Additional information on the camp is available by clicking
