| Comfort Station - The 2009 $217 Challenge | ||
| This summer our campers enjoyed our new comfort station, including state of the art showers, bathroom facilities and three washers and dryers. The new facility should last us a half-century. The total cost was $503K. We have raised $246K. The Hall Family Foundation has offered a $40K Topping Grant once we reach an additional $217K. It would be nice to be there or in sight of that by Nov. 19 when Adele Hall will be our speaker. You know, the bricks and mortar of our comfort station in themselves don’t pull at the heartstrings but what about our camp users? This past summer in our 85th Summer Session we offered a camp experience to the following groups: Midwest Brachial Plexus Network (Children injured at birth) ARC of Clay & Platte Counties (Adults functioning as 8-12 years old) Joshua Center (Children with Tourette’s Syndrome) Joint Adventures (Children with arthritis) American Indian Center (Children living at/or below poverty level) Bridge Home for Children (Children who are wards of the court) Boy Scouts (Physically & mentally handicapped) Girl Scouts (Physically & mentally handicapped) Kansas City Youth Experience (Team building for inner-city youth) So many special children were delighted with our new comfort station. The kids can’t wait to come again next year. If you could just see the smiles on their faces when they are at our camp you would certainly help out! Give what you can but if you donate $1,000 you can become a K.C. Rotary Club Foundation Fellow. We will even make arrangements with a payment plan. Call the Rotary office at 816/842-2322 and speak with Janet about this today! |
