During these years, CBM has become an institution not only in Atlanta but in the entire southeast, touching the lives of many thousands of campers, staff, committee members and parents. To some. Camp Barney was a nice place to be, enjoying the activities and having fun; to most. Camp Barney was their very own summer place where they made new friends, enjoyed old friends, learned new skills, learned independence, laughed, cried, fell down, jumped up, learned about horses, learned about peo ple and most of all...learned about themselves! Former campers display a deep sense of loyalty and affection for CBM, and because camp is such an important event in the life of a child, it is easy to understand this feeling. However, even though work ing at camp is an exhausting and demanding job, former staff members will reflect the same loyalty and affection for Camp Barney. In order to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Camp Barney, and to insure that future generations of children will have the opportunity to experience the same joys at Camp Barney as their older brothers, sisters and even parents, a Camp Barney Medintz Alumni Association is being formed. For further information concerning the Alumni Association, watch this paper and the Center Line for announcements; in the meantime, if Camp Barney has had any impact at all on you or your family, you will want to join the association. Through your affiliation, you will continue to be a part of the Camp Barney tamily, and Camp Barney Medintz will continue to be “...your summer place.” Babysitting/Child Care Babysitting/Child Care is available at the Atlanta Jewish Community Center, 1745 Peachtree Road.

We Need a Truck As the Center continues to grow with, presently, four in-town locations, (Peachtree, Zaban. Satellite School, Weinstein Center) plus Camp Barney Medintz, we find that we have an increasing need for truck rentals. A donation of a truck (pick-up, panel or stake truck) in good running condition would free up funds now being used for truck rentals for other programs and scholarships. If you have a truck to donate, please call Mike Lainoff at 875-7881.
