In September 2005, LeLan Dains was preparing to ride in the MS150, a fund-raising event for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

LeLan Dains has been hired to direct Camp Alexander's Summer Camp.

Dains is a recent graduate from Emporia State University and grew up in the Hartford area. His position started today. He has worked in the past at Camp Alexander, Camp Wood and the Emporia Recreation Center.

Kay Calvert, chairwoman of the board at Camp Alexander, said primary funding for this position is coming from the United Way, Sertoma Club and the Friends of Camp Alexander.

Calvert said Dains has some good ideas for the camp and he has a vast amount of experience in the area.

Calvert said without a director, they wouldn't have been able to have a camp without a director.

This position is a summer position only due to funding concerns.
