Posted on
At the Vermont State Convention held at Jay Peak, Barre Elks Lodge presented Silver Towers Camp Director Carolyn Ravenna and Vermont Elks Association President Keith Palmer with a check for $1000 to benefit the state major project Silver Towers Camp.
Silver Towers Camp is an overnight camp for people with mental and physical challenges ages 7 to 70.  It is among the first of its kind in the United States, and still remains one of the very few.
The funds were raised at the “Glitz and Glam Gala” held at the Lodge in November.  The Glitz and Glam Gala featured a silent auction with all proceeds supporting local and Elks charities.  This is one of many donations made with the $3000 proceeds.  The Glitz and Glam Gala will be held onFriday November 21, 2014.

Camper Nick Zecchinelli presents a plaque commemorating his great grandfather Albert Galfetti’s fundraising efforts back in the 1970’s.  In his retirement, Barre Fire Chief Galfetti used to volunteer his time and collect the pennies for gum ball machines benefiting Silver Towers Camp.  Little did he realize that his great grandson Nick would someday attend Silver Towers Camp.  Silver Towers Camp for people with disabilities is the Vermont Elks Association major project.  It is supported by Vermont Elks Charities, Inc, Vermont Elks Charities Endowment Trust Fund Inc and the thirteen Elks Lodges across the state of Vermont.
