Fundraising efforts are underway to rebuild the Al Bahr Shriners Camp in the Laguna Mountains after it was destroyed by a fire last month. It will take more than $1 million to replace more than 100 buildings, including the camp’s 87-year-old lodge, dining hall and kitchen, were destroyed in the blaze.
“Everyone lost a lot,” former Shriner potentate Donald Wierman told U-T San Diego. “If not material things they’ve lost memories. Generations have been going to that place.”
