Treasure Stories & Finds The Greatest Honor in My Life
Author: KeithWills
  The Greatest Honor in My LifeBy: Keith WillsAs a treasure hunter, I know what it is like to get lucky and make a rare great find that I will never forget, I have done just that several times in my life. Yet it has always been my belief that my friends I discovered along the way was and is in fact my greatest finds of all. I still beleive in that, but the last 12 years I have had the honor of working with so many children that are both campers of the Texas Lions Camp for the Disable Children and those kids that were not, I will always remember their faces and the joy I saw in them while experiencing for the first time the fine sport of recreational treasure hunting. Not real sure I can put into words the many years of experiences I have been honored to witness working with these many kids, knowing that through this 12 year program we have changed the lives of so many kids that thought they would never enjoy and experience an outdoor activity as other children do everyday. I can only suggest to every hobbyist out there that you seek such a arena or camp close to you and do the same, start a program to help our kids, our future. Take just a little time out of your daily lives to share with others that need you and your experiences, help build that individual esteem in those kids lives and assure them that they can do whatever they set their hearts on in their lives and they can accomplish those goals they set for themselves.I want to sincerely thank my friends that has supported me and the kids every step of the way, you know who you are. Without you all it would of been an impossible dream and not a reality these past twelve years at the Camp. I'm fully aware that friends like you do not come to us every day,...[read more]

Hi friends;

I have the newsletter posted online it is the first newsletter done by
Anna Matecun and she did a great job! This morning as I got to work I
learned that our dear friend, Jack Short passed away today. I don't have
anymore information yet, but as I do I will pass it on. Please remember
to pray for Betty and Jack's family at this time. Jack will be missed by
so many of us.
