Built on a 32 acre island in
the New River, Camp Brookside
originally opened in 1947 as a
children's summer camp for the

and arts and crafts. During the
1960s, the plant opened the camp to
family vacations and reunions. The
site was purchased by the National
Park Service (NPS) in 1993 and

COMMUNITY SUPPORT
The Hinton Lions Club is asking
for the Communities support in
helping to provide those who need,
eye examinations or eye glasses.
The Hinton Lions have been
providing assistance for over 18
years and are asking community
organizations and businesses as well
as citizens for monetary donations
to continue providing help to those
in need in our community. As news
spreads of the help being provided,
requests are now outnumbering the
Lions Club's ability to help.
Once a request is received, the
individual's application is screened
to insure that other avenues of.
assistance are pursued before the
Lions Club provides help.
Donations can be mailed to: Lions
Club, Sight Assistance Program,
P.O. Box 1321, Hinton, WV 25951.
Checks should be made •out to:
Hinton Lions Club.
Thank you to the Voters of
Summers County
for voting for me as Summers County Clerk.
I am honored to serve as County Clerk and
appreciate your support,
vote and confidence.
