Floyd and Barbara Campbell were selected to receive the Arroyo Grande Chamber of Commerce's 2006 Ken Talley Award for their volunteerism with the Boys & Girls Clubs of South San Luis Obispo County.
The award began in 1976 as a way to honor Ken Talley, a strong supporter of civic and youth activities, and is given to someone who has made a strong contribution to youth character-building programs, according to Judith Bean, president and chief executive officer of the chamber.
“We're very flattered by this award that we're getting,” said Barbara Campbell.
Along with the award, a $250 scholarship will be presented to the Boys and Girls Clubs.
“The Campbells have been nothing short of amazing,” said Moyses Muguira, Boys & Girls Clubs executive director. “Their selfless dedication and commitment to our mission is an inspiration, and we are blessed as a community to have them as our neighbors.”
The club's mission is to facilitate a satisfying and productive life for youngsters of all backgrounds and to address the unmet out-of-school needs of youngsters in each of the South San Luis Obispo County communities, according to its Web site, www.bgcslo.org.
The east Arroyo Grande couple regularly take Boys & Girls Clubs members on field trips. A trip to Magic Mountain and participating in the Arroyo Grande Sunset Cruz were club favorites for 2006, according to Floyd.
Floyd is also former president of the Five Cities Men's Club and a car collector. Barbara is an avid gardener.
The Campbells have four children, all of whom live out of state.
Currently, the Campbells said, they're working on the Boys & Girls Clubs' annual fundraising auction and dinner set for April 28 at the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo.
