The annual Kamp Kiwanis Open House took place Saturday, May 14, at the Kamp. Several dedications and acknowledgments took place.

'Jim's Marina' Dedicated

The marina at Kamp Kiwanis was dedicated to Past Gov. Jim Yochum. In addition to being past governor, Yochum served many years as the treasurer of the New York District Foundation, which operates the kamp, and had served in many other roles during his years in Kiwanis.

Pictured from left, are Yochum's son, Steve and his wife, Jenn; Jim's widow, Mary; Lindy Marrazzo, immediate past president of the foundation, and Sal Anelli, foundation president. The sign over the entrance to the marina features three figures, representing Jim and two of his grandchildren fishing as shown on an actual picture which is displayed on the post next to Anelli. In the picture, from left, are Mikey Yochum, TJ Yochum and Jim.

$50,000 Bequests Recognized

Lucinda Hunt-Stowell, daughter of Clayton Hunt Jr., a member of the Brighton Kiwanis Club who recently died, was on hand Saturday at the Kamp Kiwanis Open House to present two bequests of $50,000 each on behalf of her father. $50,000 was donated to Kamp Kiwanis and $50,000 was donated to the Kiwanis International Foundation. On hand to receive the donation to the International Foundation was Jack Harten, president of the International Foundation and a member of the Webster Kiwanis club.

The counselor's room at the kamp was dedicated to the Shaker High School Key Club, which annually makes a donation to the kamp. Shaker High is in Latham. A plaque has been mounted outside the room marking the club's support.

District Foundation Board Member Joe Battisti conducted a tour for the lieutenant governors who will take office in October. They are shown on the fishing dock.
