US Senator Blanche Lincoln plans to send six
disadvantaged Arkansas children to camp next summer.
Lincoln`s gift will benefit the children, but she says it is
intended to honor her Senate colleagues -- something she does every
holiday season.
A statement from Lincoln`s office says two of the low-income
children will attend Camp Aldersgate, a camp for children with
medical, developmental and physical challenges.
Her office says the other four children will attend Camp
Mitchell on Petit Jean Mountain. All six children will attend a
week-long session.
Last year, Lincoln donated a flock of chicks to Little
Rock-based charity Heifer International in her fellow senators`
names.
