guage pathology. Camp programs
meet the needs of children who
exhibit a wide variety of commu-
nication disorders, including
hearing loss.
Although Ms. Sherbin does not
work at the camp, she has con-
tributed greatly to the success of
the camp and the campers. Ten
years after sending her first hear-
ing-impaired student to Shady
Trails, Ms. Sherbin has increased
the number to 34 children this
year.
"Over the years, I kept in-
creasing and mainly because it
was such a terrific experience for
the kids," Ms. Sherbin said. "It
was the children's instigation and
interest that fueled my motiva-
tion to increase the number."
Because of Ms. Sherbin's
actions, the camp is now open
to hearing-impaired children
throughout the state.
"What Libby does is nowhere
in her job description. She saw
a need and she met it," said Nan-
cy Carmichael, director at Shady
Trails. "She has gone above and
beyond the call of duty."
Ms. Sherbin helps families find
the necessary funds to be able to
send their children to Shady
Trails. Some money is donated
by Elks, a fraternal philanthrop-
ic organization. Elks raises mon-
ey and helps send children to
camp based on financial need. A
large amount of money also
comes from the Public Health De-
partment Division of Crippled
Children. But it does not stop
there.
When the parents cannot af-
ford camp, and the money cannot
be found from the different orga-
nizations, Ms. Sherbin and her
husband have even gone to
friends and asked for support to
financially help these children.
"The most satisfying
part about my job is
the interaction with
the kids."

Except A Reflection Of The Heart"

She personally raised over $2000
from people in the community.
The camp began to hold an an-
nual open house last year and
each year they will have an hon-
orary chairperson at the open
house. This year Ms. Sherbin has
been asked to be their special
guest.
"The most satisfying part
about my job is the interaction
with the kids and the idea
that I feel it contributed so much
to my life in terms of learning
about a whole sub-culture that I
never knew about," Ms. Sherbin
said.
