Lest Thursday, the Club welcomed Dominique Bernardo CEO of VARIETY- The Children's Charity of Delaware Valley to tell us of all the new structure and initiatives of the organization. VARIETY is the new name for the organization formerly known as The Variety Club, which we have supported for years, and they operate out of the same camp area in Worchester. Dominique , who has been with them for three years, explained the groups mission: To enrich the lives of children with disabilities through social, educational, and vocational programs designed to prepare them for surviving in today's world. They work with youth ages 5 thru 24, developing their social skills by interaction with each other, and in later years , with the community by working with partnering companies in the area, and thru programs that have been developed by Variety, like their fresh produce garden.
Volunteers are always welcomed for the summer camp program. For further information and to make donations, contact Dominique at: Dominique.bernardo@varietyphila.org
Thank you, Dominique for bringing us up to date on Variety.
