District 9465 Governor Nominee (2016-17) Linda McLerie was our guest presenter on Wednesday 10 September 2014.

Linda, who is also Handicamp Chair 2014-15,  spoke on the history of Handicamp and the benefits that accrue to the 40 or so young people who participate in the annual Handicamp event.

Handicamp is an annual six-day event that provides 20 young people with disabilities  the opportunity to take part in a range of stimulating and fun activities.  Support is provided by the organising committee and 20 young carers or “buddies”,  who get a lot out of their participation in the event.

More than 1200 awardees have taken part in Handicamp since then District Governor Ron Sloan inaugurated the first event 32 years ago.
