Dear Name,
|
|
What a Summer!
|
|
And we're just getting started!
|
|
I hope you'll consider continuing your support of Jameson's special
|
|
campers by renewing your last gift of $ xxx. I can tell you we need your
|
|
help now as much as ever before.
|
|
All of our Six summer camping sessions are booked to capacity (and,
|
|
truth be told, with maybe one our two extra returning campers squeezed
|
|
in) and we have a waiting list of 60 children who are hoping to come if a
|
|
spot should open. Many more camper referrals are coming from new
|
|
organizations such as school social-workers and family counseling
|
|
agencies. It seems summer options aren't readily available for troubled
|
|
kids whose families have limited incomes, so we're doing all we can to
|
|
make Jameson available.
|
|
That "we" includes the Youth Leadership teens. These 60 or so campers
|
|
have takenon a fund raiser with a goal of raising $16,000 for
|
|
camperships. Two of them told me yesterday that as a group they decided
|
|
they had to earn the right to ask others for help by accomplishing
|
|
something real to help themselves. And that's from kids many people see
|
|
as a problem.
|
|
Even after the summer sessions come to a close, Jameson campers will
|
|
take part in year-round programs designed to keep that positive contact
|
|
with peers and role models alive and important. We've scheduled more than
|
|
15 follow-up camper weekends beginning in September and going around till
|
|
next summers camping season.
|
|
Please, consider renewing your support of these great kids today.
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
Julie Marsh Executive Director
|
|
P.S. We know our follow-up weekends are going to be better attended
|
|
than ever this fall and winter. If you can give a little more to help
|
|
meet this increased expense we would appreciate your support.
