NSC in STL
This last weekend Leb and Andy headed down to St. Louis for a full weekend slate. First was the Camp for All Kids benefit dinner honoring Mike and Kathy Jay of Camp Kamaji. Proudly we can say that both Mike and Kathy are North Star alumni as both worked at camp and Mike “Moose” Jay was a camper at North Star as well. Even their son Aaron worked at camp a few summers back. The two of them have done so much for the organization over the past 19 years, and the recognition was well deserved. The event took place at Hendri’s and the entertainment even featured Hayward, the bluegrass band of NSC alumni. In St. Louis, the band was represented by Jon Sherman, Mike Simons and his fiancé Heather. North Star is represented on the board of Camp for All Kids by Rob Porter, Paul Nathanson, Joe Mendes and Mark Holz, who all flew in for the event. Other NSC alumni in attendance included Tom Adler and Mike Cohen, as well as Julie and Marty Schack – parents of 2010 CITs Jordan and Jonathan.
On Saturday we kicked off the Reunion tour with our St. Louis reunion at the Weiser’s. This was the worldwide premier of Joe Riccitelli’s 2010 Reunion Video, and it was clear that it is going to be a hit. Jordan Santo joined us and even gave us his commitment that he’ll be returning this summer!
The Weiser’s put together a great afternoon for us.
