Tom Solano, age 15, completed all the requirements for the Eagle Club, and the whole camp participated in a very special ceremony the night of August 7, 2014. Tom comes from Akron, Indiana, and is a second generation camper, as his mother Sarah Baker (1972-1975, 1977-1978) attended Camp Lake Hubert for six summers in the 1970s. Tom’s Great Aunt is Lois Baker (S1954, 1956-1990), who dedicated 36 years of service to Camp Lake Hubert through the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Thus, Tom carries on a very special family legacy. Like many campers, Tom started his camping adventure with us as a Gopher in 2007. His love for camp was immediate and he continued values and camp creed, returning each year, the last four years as an eight-weeker. His drive for demonstrating leadership achievement and excellence put him on the path to complete the Camp and character qualities Lincoln Achievement Clubs. The objective of the clubs is to recognize in all aspects of the campers who demonstrate positive leadership along with a well- camp community. Tom was honored as Color Wars Captain for the rounded skill-set in all camp activities. Each club is progressive in skill Blue Team First Session in 2014 (and his team was victorious).

President Biden’s American Rescue Plan contains such assistance as part of an aggressive strategy to contain the virus, increase access to life-saving vaccines, and create a foundation for sustainable and inclusive recovery. American cities and our essential workers have been serving at the frontlines of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic for nearly a year. We have been charged with executing herculean public health efforts and an unprecedented emergency response. Despite immense fiscal pressure, your local government partners oversaw those efforts, while trying to maintain essential services and increase our internal capacity to provide support for residents and businesses who have been crippled by a tanking economy. And yet, as the economic engines of our country, local governments will be relied upon to lead the long- term economic recovery our nation so desperately needs, even as, with few exceptions, cities have been largely left without direct federal assistance.

This is especially true this month as so many colleagues across the globe join together in Paris to bolster our national leaders to act more decisively on our growing climate challenges. USA Mayors and others throughout the world continue to lead and show that local climate action is meaningful and making a difference in curbing harmful carbon emissions. A number of my mayoral colleagues are already in their second decade of climate leadership. This serves as a reminder that a big part of our success in protecting our planet will turn on how well we support and accelerate local level climate action throughout the world.

  • The Honorable Barack Obama the White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave
    The Honorable Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington, DC 20500 May 22nd, 2014 Dear President Obama, As public officials concerned about our constituents’ well-being, we thank you for your leadership to date on addressing climate change. We enthusiastically support the Climate Action Plan you have put forward. Climate change threatens the health of our families, our communities and the ecosystems on which we depend, and we are ready to work with and support you and your Administration. Together, we can implement a comprehensive approach to reduce carbon pollution while building resilient communities with strong local economies, reliable and affordable energy choices, and that are well-prepared for the impacts of climate change now and into the future. As you know, the many communities that we represent are already feeling the effects of climate change now. We recognize, and are already seeing the economic and environmental benefits of a shift to clean energy that avoids the harmful emissions that cause global warming. We are also working to protect our communities with resilience strategies, but we also look forward to a strong partnership with the federal government to help us make our communities even stronger. Under your leadership, we can help you achieve the key pillars of your plan to reduce carbon pollution, especially the first-ever national limits on carbon pollution from power plants, increases in the energy efficiency of our built environment, and smarter investments in our country’s renewable energy infrastructure. By committing to clean up power plants with a stakeholder process similar to that which was used for other Clean Air Act standards, you are once again demonstrating your commitment to commonsense solutions that takes the challenge of climate change seriously.
