The Emerald Bay Campership Program sponsors Scouts who financially struggle to attend a week of camp at Emerald Bay with their troops, and the Emerald Bay Association is pleased to offer its support once again this year.

Few charitable opportunities offer such a direct benefit to an individual. A gift of just $250 enables a Scout to attend camp for a week and provides him with a life-affirming Emerald Bay experience.

Donate online today, and then join us on May 12, 2012 for an evening of Wine Tasting and Comraderie as we celebrate the success of Campership Program.

Thank you for you continued support!

Dear Members:

As you may have heard, the Dining Hall underwent a beautiful interior remodel last year. A special thanks to all those who made that happen, including the EBA.
During the job we discovered that many of the staff pictures, which had adorned the walls, were damaged or missing. In an effort to restore the staff pictures to their place of honor, the EBA has undertaken the "Staff Pictures Project". The Project objective is to collect every year available and then laminate them on wood plaques. With your help, we hope to have all the plaques up in time for summer camp this year.

So far we have every year from 1955 to present....except: 56, 58, 59, 62, 63, 65, 67, 68, 69, 71, 73 and 75. We also have no pictures prior to 1954.

Can you help us? If you can, please contact me at (or send a high resolution jpeg of your picture to): rich@emeraldbayalumni.org

Alternatively, you can post your picture to this site...or... mail the sought photo(s) to:
Emerald Bay Alumni
P.O. Box 959
Venice, CA 90294.

We will scan your picture and promptly return it to you.

Thank you all in advance for helping the EBA undertake this worthy project.

Fellowship & Comrades Lasting,
