NIH-Recreation & Welfare Club Frederick
The NIH R&W promotes health and well being as well as community involvement in support of such causes as the R&W Foundation, The Children’s Inn, Camp Fantastic, and Friends of the CC. Club Frederick is just beginning its activities, but in conjunction with Books R Fun, we have already raised $225.00 for Camp Fantastic, a week-long camp for children with cancer.
The program offers many discounts on services available in the Frederick, Bethesda,

local attractions and discounted cruises, all-inclusive trips and much more. To
