Some of you may not know that the SC Commission for the Blind has traditionally either covered the cost of and/or provided food, transportation, linens and facility cleaning after camp, and half of the nurse’s pay. Due to internal financial changes at the SC Commission for the Blind, some of the services previously provided by the Commission will now be coordinated by Rocky Bottom and/or the NFB of SC. SCCB will still include those service costs in the amount of reimbursement. The method of service reimbursement has also changed. What this means is that Shelley and I have a much larger job to do to ensure everyone gets to Rocky Bottom and has a fabulous time while there.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Because we will have to build a network ourselves, we want to allow time to be sure those are in place prior to offering a camp. We don’t want people to get their hopes up, and then dash them if camp had to be cancelled for lack of a service being set up.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please share this information with your members who may not be on the list serve. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you have any questions, please contact Shelley or me to answer those.
