In support of Camp Whitley
(Talk of the Town photo provided)
Mary Stockwell is shown presenting a check to Camp Whitley on behalf of this year's group of Pizza Night sponsors. The unused funds were donated to the Camp's general fund. For the 14th consecutive year, sponsors have bought and delivered hot Pizza Hut pizzas to the campers and staff every Tuesday night during the camping season. It is estimated that over 4,000 campers and staff have enjoyed over 1,500 pizzas since the program began in 1997.
Many of the current sponsors have been on board for every season. This year's sponsors were: The Rotary Club, Tri Kappa, J&K Communications, The Elks Club, The Optimists Club, Orizon Real Estate, Century-Link, J&J Insurance Solutions, The Norris Insurance Agency, and STAR Insurance.
