Members is one of scores of North and South Carolina CUs which are the benefactors for the Victory Junction Camp, a medical facility for chronically-ill youngsters opened by the Petty race car family and actor Paul Newman in June 2004, The new Asian Oak tables, delivered May 16, were painted and assembled on the camp site in Level Cross by staffers of Members led by Bob Donley, executive vice president who with his wife have spent many hours at the camp serving as weekend “Crew Chief” or camp counselors to the stricken youngsters.
