After 37 years of faithful service at Camp Omega in rural Waterville, Mary Wetzel of Waterville has retired from her position as Director of Food Services. A retirement celebration honoring Wetzel was held at the camp on January 25. Many of Wetzel’s family members, friends, and long-time co-workers shared special memories of working with her. It is estimated that Wetzel prepared well over one million plates of food for retreat guests and summer campers during her years at camp.
