Jay Wallin, President and CEO of Bay Trust Company recently presented a contribution on behalf of Bay Trust and Bank of Lancaster to Virginia Cooperative Extension Agent, Julie Tritz to assist with the 2008 summer 4-H camp program.

The funds will be used to send local youths to the summer camp at the Jamestown 4-H Education Center in Williamsburg.  The 4-H camp provides a safe environment in which children have an opportunity to have fun, make new friends, develop self-esteem, self-worth, communication and group participation skills through educational programs, and develop positive attitudes and life skills that will help them become productive adults and tomorrow’s leaders.

Wallin stated that the 4-H programs walk hand-in-hand with the commitment of Bank of Lancaster and Bay Trust Company to General Colin Powell’s “America’s Promise” program to invest in the future by investing in children. Wallin said, “The mission of America’s Promise is to provide youth with the fundamental resources they need to become happy, healthy and productive adults. The 4-H program is an ideal partnership for our Bank and our Trust Company in our efforts to provide opportunities to young people for personal growth.”

For more information on how to provide financial support, or if you are interested in sending your child, contact Julie Tritz at the Virginia Cooperative Extension office for Lancaster and Northumberland Counties at 462-5780.
