What does it take to send 33 Manchester girls to summer camp in Newbury, Vermont over the past 14 years? It takes the dedication and commitment of Marty Fins and his fellow Manchester Rotarians. It takes their gas-powered leaf blowers and string trimmers. It takes dozens of rakes, leaf barrels and some dump trucks. And it takes the support and cooperation of the Manchester school system to identify girls who would most benefit from a life changing, summer camp experience who would otherwise not have had the opportunity without this unique program.
