Camp Mountaineer memories

Last week I had a trip down memory lane at Camp Mountaineer in Monongalia County. Some of my most fond childhood memories and lasting friendships were made right here. Scouting helped make me who I am today, and I am thankful that boys and girls from across the country and around the world now have the opportunity to come to West Virginia to learn valuable life lessons and enjoy our little slice of Almost Heaven.

Ms. Mitchem of Crumpler contacted my office asking for assistance with her appeal for SSI benefits. As a result of an inquiry from my office, her appeal hearing occurred, and she was granted continued SSI benefits.

If you or someone you know is in need of assistance with a state or federal agency, please contact my office at 304-342-5855.
