A worldwide pandemic can really mess with a local community service club’s best intentions, their members’ enthusiasm for giving back, club finances and the organization’s ability to make good things happen! Just ask any of the guys who are associated with the Kinsmen Club of Camrose. Last year, eager and ambitious club members voted to proceed with ordering a fabulous (and pricey) custom-built concession trailer. They hit the streets, looking for financial support through gifts in kind, labour and materials from sponsors (such as Nyback RV Centre, D & D Sales & Service, Shift Innovations, Rock Solid/RWR Trucking, ABC Fire and Safety, Alberta Mobile Power Systems, Morgan Industries) to complete their world-class cooking and serving unit. The goal was to use this mobile concession at Jaywalkers’ Jamboree, Big Valley Jamboree and numerous other public and private events in and around the community. Naturally, money raised through these bookings would have allowed the Kinsmen Club to continue to give back to various community initiatives, both existing and exciting new ones. Now, with COVID-19 still wreaking havoc, this premiere unit sits and club members wait. They look forward to taking orders, flipping burgers, and filling plates and stomachs once again. Sooner, rather than later, is the goal, though at present, this seems like just an honourable dream, not reality.
