is a wonderful camp for children of all ages and denominations to attend in the summertime. We would love for more children in our Parish to be able to attend camp. Each year we are able to several of our parish children to camp on a "Campership." This is a full paid scholarship (less the registration fee) for a child to go for one week at ECC.
The new budget that was passed does not give us the liberty of sending the children to camp through the general operating funds. Therefore, we are going to be coming up
with a "Campership Fund." We already have a baseline that was graciously donated by Jane Gaddes. However, we need to be able to raise more money for the campers.
Deb Ruggieri, Emma Robinson, and I are starting a new committee to come up with policies and fundraising for this. We need your help. We need to come up with some unique fundraisers
that will be strictly for the Campership Fund. Some ideas are starting to flow in, but every idea will be considered.
Also, feel free to donate some "coffee money"
to the "Campership Fund" jar in the narthex on a weekly basis; this will add up to one or two campers going to camp per year! And feel free to make any monetary donation you
are comfortable with. If you are giving cash, please place it in a clearly marked envelope reading "Campership Fund," or if you are writing a check, please make sure to put
"Campership Fund" in the memo and we will gladly put it on your donation statement for tax purposes.
Respectfully submitted,
Nancy Harris
