Getting Involved!

Dena Verdin, accounting assistant in the Williston office, recently travelled to Ohio as a crew leader for a Group Work Camp. The Baltimore Methodist Church sponsored the trip and provided accommodations at a local school. There were youth groups from New Jersey, Maryland, Nebraska, Ontario, Michigan, Tennessee, Vermont and Ohio; over 350 participants in all.

The purpose was to provide assistance to various residents in the area. The residents consisted of single moms, elderly widows, and others struggling with a physical handicap. The community raised funds for the materials, and the groups brought the tools necessary to do the work. Dena's crew was responsible for scraping and painting a large barn for an elderly widow.

Some mornings breakfast was served by the Mayor and they received visits from the Police Chief and Fire Dept Chief. The entire Baltimore Community was involved.

Thanks for being an inspiration to us all Dena!
