Camp Mack, Lake Waubee, Milford, is celebrating its 80th anniversary. Rex M. Miller, executive director, invites the community to be part of the Grand Celebration Service in Quinter-Miller Auditorium May 1 when the recently restored large rose window at the front of the auditorium will be dedicated. On July 27, 1925, 130 campers arrived for the first youth camp. Girls slept in the barely ready Sarah Major Lodge, with boys sleeping in tents. The camp has grown from the original six-acre, one-week long summer camp to a year-round ministry of camps and retreats happening on over 200 acres.
Anne Clemens Leininger, daughter of George and Mary Clemens, Warsaw, was promoted to an associate’s position at the Lauth Group, Indianapolis, which has been helping to restore the West Baden Springs Hotel.
