CAMPER DAYS DOUBLED
As of the middle of May it appears we may, from the summer of 2007, double the number of camper-days to the summer of 2008. (“Camper-days” is one way to mark the extent of involvement in camp. One “camper-day” = one night at camp.) What this means is that the UMW, which commits to paying “1/2 up to $100” of the registration fee for any children from this church who go to camp, is being extended! You might ask your UMW friends how this is going, if they have the money, etc. (And then go downtown on ‘Ridiculous Days’ and buy stuff from their Bake Sale! Or better yet, bake something they can sell at the Bake Sale.)
Campers/parents, could you let the office know when you go to camp and we’ll put the campers on the prayer list for that week!
