Camp Encourage – Movie Benefit
Camp Encourage’s Movie Benefit was held recently at the Screenland Crossroads. Dr. Beth Rosemergey and Dr. Charles Orth served as the honorary chairmen. The twenties-themed event featured a short documentary showing a day in the life of a camper, delicious treats and silent and live auctions. Camp Encourage serves children with autism spectrum disorders and proceeds from the event will be used for summer camp scholarships.
