What a summer!
As usual summer meant Greater Portland Area AGD Alumnae were busy.

The annual “Beach Weekend” The last weekend in July sees Ocean Park, WA become AGD central. The annual event was held July 25-27 at Muriel Raz’s beach house.

It was marked by great conversations, walks along the beach and a nice bit of shopping for good measure.  It could easily be said “a good time was had by all!”

Everyone had fun helping the campers check in.  Alpha Gams went the first two Sunday's in August to help first, second and third graders check in for camp. They gave the volunteers lunch and t-shirts.  

Volunteers helped by giving the campers their name tags, shirts and talked to them as they arrived and helped them settle in for their week of camping. There are 10 weeks of camp a year with over 400 campers attending for the summer.  Each campership costs $350.00
