The Camp Korey GROW Event is Coming . . .

It was heartwarming and so fascinating to hear the Camp Korey story at the lovely "friendraiser" party Bridge Stuart hosted at his home at the beginning of June for ZINO Society members and friends.  Read more about that party HERE. 
What is coming up next sounds like it will be a fantastic evening at Camp Korey itself.  Just to give you a bit of the flavor . . . the evening will begin with wine tastings from our area's top vintners and walking tours of the camper spaces, followed by the ultimate farm-to-table dining experience featuring fresh, local fare prepared by Executive Chef Jason Stoneburner of Bastille Cafe & Bar.  All of the details are below in the colorful invitation and creative brief following with how to make reservations.

I know that Camp Korey Board member Ken Hatch, aka "The Curmudgeon" is planning to be there with bells on and hopes to see you there too!
