CAN DO Community Foundation Holds Annual Meeting at Ferrwood

Since 1992, the CAN DO Community Foundation has been supporting worthwhile projects through its mission of conservation, preservation and reclamation. The Foundation’s volunteer Board of Directors recently held its annual meeting at Ferrwood Camp in Drums. The board discussed the progress of its many ongoing projects and announced the recipients of several scholarships it awards annually.

The meeting was held on July 8 prior to an open-air concert that featured 120 Ferrwood Music Camp students who treated a crowd of concertgoers to their talents. Before the concert, the Board of Directors joined the students, parents, instructors, volunteers and visitors at a picnic-style smorgasbord prepared and served by volunteers.

CAN DO Community Foundation fundraiser is the start of a busy summer for Ferrwood Camp

As part of its ongoing perseveration efforts at Ferrwood Camp in Drums, the CAN DO Community Foundation joined Ferrwood Camp volunteers, friends, families and supporters to organize a successful fundraising effort during the recent Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community 5Kwalk at PNC Field in Moosic.

The CAN DO Community Foundation was one of nine nonprofit agencies representing nonprofit organizations, and the only one from southern Luzerne County, to participate in the event. All proceeds will benefit Ferrwood’s music camp and other programs.
