“CHARLY’S PLACE” IS READY!

“CHARLY’S PLACE” is one of several cabins at Camp Badger. It is dedicated to the memory and legacy
of our beloved Past District Governor, Charles (Charly) McBride (2017 - 2018, Little Neck / Douglaston
Lions Club). At the close of his club, a significant donation was made to Camp Badger, one of his
special causes. A matching LCIF Grant facilitated the restoration of two cabins at Camp Badger.

Recently, a district-wide appeal was issued asking for volunteers to assist with rehabilitation On May
th
28 , Lions Julian Embrack, Dorothy Sylvester, and Mirle Gillard, members of the District Alert Team
(another of PDG Charly’s Signature Projects,) responded to the request. The buildings were cleaned,
new windows were installed, minor repairs were completed, and furniture set up (See photos).

Thanks to the Alert Team’s dedication to serving others, Charly’s Place is ready to receive the
residents for this Summer Session.
