YMCA Camp Honors Adams-Millis New backpacks, sleeping bags, mountain bikes. Three new adirondacks. Enclosures for shelters. Materials for a picnic shelter. Grading and resurfacing of a roadway. Bringing electric power on site. Digging a well. These are a few of the improvements made at the High Point Central YMCA’s Camp Cheerio as a result of the Y’s partnership with Adams-Millis. Seven years ago. Bill Minis, then vice president of marketing at Silver Knit, suggested that the company allow the Y to rent parking spaces in the Adams-Millis lot to visitors attending the furniture market. “We started parking cars at the furniture market in April of 1988. In some years we’ve parked cars at both the spring and fall markets, and during that time we’ve raised $24,870 for Camp Cheerio,” says Billy Crumley, director of the camp. “We’ve owned the camp property since the early 1980s, and the money we’ve made in the last few years from parking cars has en abled us to make significant improvements. Our New River Adventure Camp at Camp Cheerio covers 60 acres right on the New River in Grayson County, Va. “Adventure Camp is a kind of base camp. Kids come here and then go on adventures like tent camp ing, hiking and canoeing. Our programs feature many team-building programs where kids learn to work to gether and trust each other.” Adams-Millis was hon ored by the Y in December for its contributions to the organization. David Pugh, a member of the board at the Y, presented an award to Fred Johnson, who represented Adams-Millis. The inscrip tion on the plaque read: ‘7/2 gratitude for your gen erosity which has enabled YMCA Camp Cheerio’s Ad venture Camp to develop the New River Outdoor Center as a place to help develop the spirit, mindemdbody of those we serve. Thank you for your dedication to community stewardship which enriches the High Point community. ” Employees who visited all five booths were awarded a T-shirt.
