The calendar might not agree that it's summer, but with Memorial Day come and gone, many people are in the summer mindset.
Gazette-Mail readers remain in the giving mindset, as well, with nearly $3,000 contributed to the Send-A-Child-To-Camp Fund over this holiday week.
That brings this year's total up over $25,000, meaning hundreds of children who might have missed out on a summer camp experience will get to attend and make lifelong memories.
We're still shy of last year's mark of nearly $30,000, and time is running short. If you haven't donated yet, please consider doing so.
