CAMP EMMANUEL NEWS
Please join the Camp Board in welcoming our new manager Roger Lindsey. He assumed the manager's responsibilities effective mid April. Roger was born and raised in Astoria, Illinois. He has two daughters Amber (husband Anthony) and Rachel and is a proud grandfather to Keegan, Jack, Hayden and Tymber.
Roger is retired from the Fulton County Sheriff's Department after serving 25 years. He has also served on the Astoria Town Board and recently served as the mayor. He has been a member of the Astoria Fire and Rescue Department for 38 years and attends the Astoria Christian Church.
Roger has “hit the ground running” addressing several maintenance and logistics issues and participated in the camp workweek. Roger is well organized and is anxious to “learn and address the many responsibilities” of the manager. The weather has been playing havoc with the huge mowing challenge this spring. In Roger's words: “God has given us many treasures in life. One is right here – Camp Emmanuel. It is a wonderful place to enjoy nature and beauty.” He looks forward to meeting many from the district as the camps unfold this coming summer.
The Camp Emmanuel Board thanks Shane Herrin for his four years as camp manager. His contributions to the well-being of the camp were extensive and appreciated. We wish him well as he is able to put more time into his construction business and have more time for his family and himself.
